I still use an iPhone 6s—typing on it right now in fact—and the web has definitely moved on past these old devices. When I got it, it worked perfectly. Now lots of websites will run out of memory and crash the tab after a bit (e.g. new Reddit, Twitter, most news sites), and just chug in general because the rendering can't keep up. I've gotten familiar with how Safari prioritizes painting because on slow sites I can watch the sections pop in.

I've replaced the battery and the health is fine, people just don't test their stuff with old devices (I've done frontend before, I get why not).

Every developer should run the software they are about to release on 10 year old hardware. If it doesn't run or is so slow as to be absolutely unusable, then something is wrong and needs to be fixed.
