My iPhone 4S and iPad 2 were destroyed in performance after update from iOS6 to iOS7 (and helpfully without possibility of downgrade, thanks Apple), plus a lot of apps were deprecated in that update due to some API changes or whatever. That's just adding more data points to the legend of "perfect updates on the iPhones". My Samsung phone is 3 years old, it got 3 major updates over these years, and last update was 29/03/2023, a little more than a month ago. It also didn't slow a bit over time. People making a cult out of some common industry standards are tiring really. Sure, Apple lead the way with those standards (and destroyed some when it was profitable for them too), but that happened ages ago. You might as well remember some Android phones from 10 years ago and compare them to iPhone 14.
