Tyler Morgan, also known as @hitomidocameraroll on TikTok, shared detailed information about the new features of iOS 17, such as NameDrop and StandBy mode, with its 631 thousand followers.

Morgan reported negative experiences following the update, including crashes and delays on popular media apps such as TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Netflix.
Tyler Morgan noted that Apple, at least when it comes to older devices, does this process purposefully.
The company tends to prioritize updates for the latest models, which is understandable for these devices.
The former employee also emphasized that the company could do more to minimize the negative impact such updates have on older models.

The alert received significant attention, with millions of views, and it reinforces that the update may cause a slowdown on older devices.
Morgan argues that the update is not necessary and Apple has historically implemented updates that adversely affect older devices, starting with the iPhone 4.
It further clarified that although iOS 17 is runnable on older phones, the experience will not live up to Apple's promises, resulting in slow and problematic performance.
Finally, he warned that the update could also negatively impact battery life, leading to an increase in the need for frequent recharges. So, owners of old phones will have to charge them three to four times a day.
