There's a decades-long meme that Apple purposefully slows down older hardware to push people to buy completely new hardware.

Interesting that this effect may be a byproduct of automatic scaling the CPU frequency based on remaining battery capacity, rather than the newer OS versions being purposefully poorly optimized (like most people assume)
