Did Apple slow down iPhones before the new release? I’m really asking. People used to say that and I can’t remember if it was proven or not?

Yeah, but they got sued over it and purportedly stopped. They claimed it was to protect battery health.

Suuuuuuure it was.

That said, I had way better experiences with old (but contemporary) Apple hardware than any other kind of old hardware.
