iOS 8 has full disk encryption

Does that mean performance will suffer on devices like the iPhone 5 that don't have hardware AES support?

LOL. Where does the d come into this?

Yeah, iOS8 has been proving too much for earlier iPhones.

iOS 8 is fine on the iPhone 5. Not so much for the iPhone 4S though.

Yeah, I guess it never has to move that much data at once.

Newer software will almost always be designed to run slower on older hardware. You could also say be "optimized" for newer one.

In this case, there is a real reason behind it.

yeah, but i wouldn't say it is intentional. more features requires more power.

oh, and this thread was better before you edited your title OP!

But AES encryption is pretty nontrivial. FileVault even brings MacBooks to a crawl.
