WATCH: Joe Rogan Berates Apple’s Move to Slow Down Old Phones – “You Motherf**, It’s Just Dirty”

Joe Rogan is not a tech expert; The JRE podcast host, however, certainly knows his way around a smartphone or a laptop and could give a user experience review about it for sure.

On Joe Rogan Experience #1186, Rogan talked about a specific issue with Apple, and his guest, Marques Brownlee, made the conversation even more meaningful.

Rogan said, “I’m so sour on Apple, because of what they did with the batteries. That was such a dirty thing to me. Because everybody had always suspected like my friend Brian was always like, ‘Dude, I am telling you when the new phones come out your old phones start moving slower.”

However, he didn’t believe it initially. He said, “I’m like that’s a conspiracy; that’s all horsesh*t. Like, your phone’s just old, bro. But then when I found out that it was real, I was like you a**holes.”

The guest informed Rogan about Apple compromising the CPU in order to keep the battery’s performance and the company making it public in a statement, though not initially.

Rogan asserted, “But I don’t buy it. I think it’s a trick to try to get you to buy a new phone.”

The guest offered that the company now presents the users with a choice between the CPU and the battery. However, by default, the phone gives preference to saving the battery and optimizes the CPU accordingly.

Rogan then questioned the timing of the product slowing down and said, “As soon as the new phone comes out?”

The UFC vet emphasized, “You motherf****, it’s just dirty… Everybody always suspected there was some sort of engineered obsolescence, and they are doing this on purpose to get you to keep buying the newest, latest and greatest.”

“I really love the OS… It’s just so much better than Windows,” submitted Rogan. Yet, he was not a fan of Apple laptop keyboards.
