The iOS slowness was a deliberate design decision. We can criticise Apple for making the phones deliberately slow You shouldn't be using a phone that doesn't have security updates, consequently, if an Apple phone becomes unusably slow after three years due to updates (including security fixes) and an Google phone becomes dangerously insecure after three years because it doesn't have updates, actually, the more responsible company is Apple. At least they're making it the choice of the user whether to continue safely and slowly or get a new phone. Google just lets their users become malware vectors. (NB. I had an iOS phone and recently switched to an Android phone that now runs Treble-less Oreo. From a perspective of user experience, I feel like I made the right decision; but from a security perspective, I feel less confident.)
