I really want to believe they have good intentions, but this does smell like a Planned obsolescence to me. I can stand an old battery draining quickly (I just have to make my mind to bring a charger everywhere with me), BUT my phone taking forever to load a simple app is really FRUSTRATING.

"New" features usually are not a motivation for me to buy a new phone, but a slow phone will make me get a new one right away...

It’s intended to prevent crashes, not extend battery life. Once the battery degrades, trying to run the CPU at 100% will crash the phone.
