Apple Isn’t Making Your iPhone Slower. You Are! Whether you have an iPhone 6S, an iPhone X or a brand-new iPhone 13, our phones accumulate a cache of data in our web browsers (like Safari, Chrome and Firefox). If you don’t clear your cache, the data stored in your browsers clutters up your phone over time and might slow you down.

    Cnet….are you being intentionally dense?

    This proves that APPLE owns CNET 🙂

    I don’t think you guys are relevant enough to be paid by Apple for such an obviously false title. Why do it then?

    Did you guys pick up a random guy from the street to make this video?

    What does Safari or web browsing has to do with system getting slow? People usually complain how slow their phones get after new iOS updates.

  7. Morgoth Bauglir

    August 5, 2022 at 5:32 pm

    Apple has already been proven to do this and anyone who has used iPhones for the past 5-10 years knows that

    Let’s not live in a fools paradise

    Another bs biased Video

    You forgot to mention one thing at the end of the video – “Sponsored by Apple”

    How much did Apple Pay you to say this?

    No. Apple purposely slow down iPad. My iPad Air 2 on iPadOS 15 is practically unusable. Slow animations, laggy and doesn’t respond to input. It’s like iOS 9 on iPhone 4s. I clean installed iPadOS 15 but it didn’t help and ended up giving away

    except apple said they underclock old iPhone in new updates to “conserve old batterys”.

    This is straight up corporate propaganda by Apple. You’ve not supported the claim that Apple is not slowing down phones with any evidence. In fact Apple has been sued for this multiples times.

  19. Rapaduraman

    August 5, 2022 at 9:28 pm

    Clear cache? Seriously? Never thought about it. Been doing all that for the past 4 years in my iPhone X and it didn’t stop from losing performance.
    Would love to see a video more scientific about the topic. He does that on an iPhone 13, should have shown a Before and afetar on an older device.

  20. Gather Round The Fire

    August 5, 2022 at 9:45 pm

    Bruh…this is like common knowledge right? Dont leave all your connections on (Bluetooth, NFC, Wifi, turn off GPS when not in use, and clear the cache from all apps you use regularly. Simple.

  21. stealthshock1

    August 5, 2022 at 11:30 pm

    Cache doesn’t slow down your whole phone though

    They were literally caught doing this? I remember people came out and exposed Apple.

  23. Vince Longman

    August 5, 2022 at 11:39 pm

    Apple was caught slowing iPhones and fined/sued for no disclosure. Although hopefully shouldn’t be as bad now that iPhones finally have larger batteries, which should last longer before issues powering the CPU

    Use the feedback app in ios 16 to complain about battery life. I bet if we all did it they would do something

  26. mohd noorain

    Cheating caches and cookies will only help browse internet faster. It also depends if your device have available storage, your battery health and if it’s running the latest ios or not.

  27. Ed F

    Glad I no longer use an iPhone since iPhone 4 when Apple started slowing them on purpose. Never looked back since.

  28. Douglas De Ford

    I love your videos please help me out with this issue. Street addresses don’t really work in my country ,so in my own contact card, I am not able to add my address because Apple only uses an traditional addresses and does not has the option of using Geo location. Due to this limitation I am not able to use certain attributes like, in the reminders app to remind of a chore me when I get home, or leave home. Thanks

  29. Abu Hub

    August 6, 2022 at 4:40 am

    for me honestly I don’t need my browser to safe the cache so it will load faster next time I visit the same site. I prefer apple to add On/Off button for user to choose whether they want to allow the cache to be saved.

  30. Edicson m

    August 6, 2022 at 5:46 am

    What about apps cache to clear them like on Android?

    Not only their upgrade slow your phone down. Each new update of iOS also worsen the camera. It’s a great phone. But denying it is not honest. the storage space taken by iOS every update.

  42. Yudhveer Sharma

    August 7, 2022 at 1:53 am

    And what about other apps?

    Probably the dumbest video they’ve made…
    Cache data on your browser may affect your performance on your browser… it’s only gonna be affecting your browser!

    The reason your phone is slowing down each year is because with every new OS update, youre getting new fancy features on older and older hardware. Your hardware is not upgrading with the software. You’ve had the same hardware for years but youve gone through so many OS updates your phone is gonna have a hard time supporting all these new features.

    It’s like supping up a bike with an A/C unit, speakers, and a TV… you’re gonna have a hard time moving the bike the more “features” you put on. Youre gonna need to upgrade your engine… From peddling to an electric motor or something that runs on gas.

    no! Apple is responsible for making our phones slow. If not, why would my iPhone 5c be so lag? It doesn’t even have any apps at all.

  46. kaye1118

    August 7, 2022 at 7:10 am

    i mean, whatever works!! perhaps also installing a new iOS on an older less capable device… 🤷🏼‍♀️🐌

    Clearing your cache will do the opposite of speeding up. It might speed up your phone if your phone is really out of storage and your cache is giant
