Wasn’t Apple accused of intentionally slowing down older phones as a tactic to get consumers to upgrade? IIRC they paid a huge settlement in court over it. Which I guess isn’t necessarily an admission of guilt, but it doesnt look very good.
The issue really is less “evil” than that. They keep adding features running in the background which add to the load on a CPU. Combine that with some of those new features running better with newer versions of microcode and it quickly makes it appear as though they are intentionally slowing it down, while in reality they are just adding more shit to the system to run on top of your day to day workload.
Like how my iPhone 4S became unusable after the iOS 7 “upgrade?”
