Apple was literally fined for slowing down older phones: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-51413724

If you want your phone to last forever, you need to take control of it yourself. Get a Lineage OS compatible phone and ditch the play store. Not only will it be faster, the battery life will quadruple.

They were fined for not telling people that they were slowing down older phones. It's a subtle difference. I'm not saying the fine was unjust, only that it doesn't reflect on the performance or quality of the product. Instead now we know that a simple battery change will restore the speed.
