Apple does some funny CPU throttling when your battery gets old. Instead of just telling you "your battery needs to be replaced", they scale down your CPU's frequency to the point where the phone becomes completely unusable. It's not great. Most people don't realize that they could get their battery replaced in a matter of minutes, at a cost of about $50. I've done it with an old iPhone, and it worked like-new again.
