This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

They admitted they intentionally slowed down old phones with iOS updates.

The thing with smartphones is that they're already good enough. Almost every app is designed to work on a 5yo phone that cost 100 bucks when it was new, so having 16 times the processing power isn't really useful unless it results in better battery life.
