The hardware possibly matured to a point where future iOS releases don’t have a noticeable performance impact anymore. The iPad 3 and iPhone 4S became slower with each major update whereas the iPhone 5 is still perfectly okay to use. Apple’s recent ARM chips rival laptop CPUs. Apple would have to intentionally cripple iOS devices to make them feel sluggish.
(Nevertheless, since my trust in Apple has eroded, I can imagine the bean counters thinking of how to increase sales by deliberately degrading older hardware.)
