It shouldn't be surprising that quality of life decreases as hardware ages. Hardware gets faster, software gets slower, speed for the users stays about the same. If you're not making your hardware faster (upgrading your phone every few years), then the software is getting slower resulting in a worse experience. This isn't at all limited to phones. It applies to any hardware/software. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_and_Bill%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_and_Bill%27s_law
