> quietly slowing down older iPhones as it launched new models, to induce owners to buy replacement phones or batteries This happened to me a long time ago and it made me a permanent Android user, not that I don't have issues with that ecosystem but I use an isolated google account that isn't tied to my real email and desktop activity. But after 3 Android phones, each was still completely usable after 3 years and each was able to be replaced on my schedule instead of being required after an OS update "surprise" which is what happened with my only iPhone.
