The first thing Jobs did when he returned to Apple was slash the product line down to just a couple of products. I guess that lesson was forgotten.
Great.
The intentional slowdown of our current gear begins.
I use couple of devices that are nearing end of support - iPhone XS, 1st gen Apple TV 4k (which is iPhone 7 essentially) and they perform admirably well. iOS 16 was pretty bad at times but it was mostly resolved with iOS 17.
Literally never true.
It is confirmed by Apple to be true.

Apple has confirmed the suspicions of many iPhone owners by revealing it does deliberately slow down some models of the iPhone as they age.
Read the whole story. They’re not slowing your phone down because it’s old, nor are they doing it deliberately. It’s to keep your phone working if your battery is worn out.
I swear, people never let the facts get in the way of a good hate-jerk about Apple.
You realize you’re going from saying “it’s not deliberate and it’s not because they’re old devices” to saying “they do it intentionally if your battery is worn out (implying that it’s old)”
So what is it then?
You are failing to understand the distinction between deliberate and necessary.

Your reply
Literally never true
Then you’re showed they do intentionally slow down old devices and you continue arguing and you contradict yourself.
Devices with worn out batteries.
Replace the battery and the problem goes away regardless of the age of the device.
