As you already know very well, over the years the owners of terminals Android they complained about the lag present in the operating system interface and the performance problems encountered both in the case of top terminals, and especially in the case of mid/low-end terminals. To solve these problems in 4.4 Android KitKatThose from Google they approached an interesting strategy and forced their engineers to use one Google Nexus 4 with 512 MB RAM during the development of the operating system. This strategy helped the engineers to optimize the operating system to work as well as possible on a terminal with little RAM and inferior hardware to that available in high-end terminals, and the final result was a satisfactory one.
The goal of Project Svelte was basically to reduce the memory footprint to fit into 512 megs. The way we did it, by the way... was to take a Nexus 4 and adapt it to run at 512 megs. The next step was to get KitKat running at a lower resolution and on two processors instead of four. The clock frequency was lowered. To make sure Android engineers were eating their own dog food, they all started using these slimmed down Nexus 4s to get a closer experience of what they were making.
Making the transition from Google la Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, you probably already know that old terminals are running iOS 7 very difficult, and the company could learn something from its competitor. It has been speculated for many years that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), intentionally reduces the performance of its old terminals to force users to upgrade to newer ones and I think this is partially true. It is clear that a 4-year-old iPhone 3 cannot run iOS 7 as well as iPhone 5S, but he could do it much better, if someone showed interest in Cupertino.
I think that Apple could apply strategies similar to those of Google to give old users the chance to enjoy their terminals for a few months because in the end they will upgrade anyway if they are satisfied. The problem is that any company is made to generate profit and in general it gets ahead of the users, so I remain hopeful that in the not too distant future in Cupertino someone will think exactly as the people from Google thought.
