Well, no. But comparing the overall resource demands of iOS 6 and iOS 10 (the first and last iOS available on iPhone 5), it's very clear that the latter is an absolutely pig. Burning through more CPU, RAM and IOPS = faster battery drain.

I doubt Apple is deliberately adding bloat to iOS, but every major version is definitely heavier than the previous one.

OK sure, but this has nothing to do with what "planned obsolescence" means.
