Maybe that's a false memory, maybe that's improvements to iOS but whatever it is I'll easily be able to hold out until September for the next model whereas my phone was rapidly becoming useless. Anyone else who is suffering similar issues, if you like your phone and the only issue is the battery it's well worth getting a new battery fitted even if you have pay for it yourself - much cheaper than a new phone!
Yep. Actually I think you'd be able to easily go another year, whereas I am not sure if Ios11 will be made available for my 5C. But either way I'm happy to run this 5C as long as I can because it's still fast enough and it was my first iPhone. I do doubt now that Ios11 would be made available for me, come to think of it. I had a major jam on my device with iOS 10 before they smoothed out the wrinkles with 10.1. So even if iOS 11 is available for me I would wait until 11.1, I learned from experience LOL.
I read that the Iphone 6S had battery issues but the iPhone 7 doesn't have that problem. So I might just wait until this fall and then get the iPhone 7 when it's reduced, I should be able to get it for zero dollars if I signed a two year contract.
