How far behind do older smart devices with newer ones in terms of performance, especially when running on older processors? Is there still a noticeable difference in daily use? What about long-term optimizations on Android and iOS systems? How much support do app developers or device manufacturers provide in this regard?
Do you think older model smart devices experience performance degradation?

Thanks for the question, this topic is always up for debate. Even with mid-range devices that are 3-4 years old, I didn’t really encounter any major issues in daily use. Which smart device model are you using in your setup, and what kind of apps do you usually run?
Oh man, I’ve read so many articles about "performance" lately 😅 Then I thought: my phone is two years older than me, and it’s still fine—loads cat pics and plays "Birdie" in the header. But honestly, sometimes it lags so much I wonder: "Did some penguin in Antarctica write this software?" 🐧💻
Older smart devices, while not as fast as newer models, still handle daily tasks like web browsing, social media, or light gaming without much trouble. You can think of it like switching from a tablet to a laptop: the older model might feel a bit sluggish, but it still gets the job done. App developers usually keep supporting older devices, but newer apps tend to be resource-heavy, which can lead to performance drops on those devices.
