Apple is usually pretty good at keeping older phones performant enough but, This is the first upgrade cycle that I upgraded in anger over an unusably slow and energy inefficient OS on an “older” model I was traveling in south / south east Asia and my iPhone 15 Pro was dying twice a day despite minimal use besides maps and taking some photos. My battery health was 86% so not perfect but surely it shouldn’t die twice a day. That coupled with the keyboard constantly lagging with every letter I typed made me realize Apple no longer cares about older models. They threw that out with Liquid Glass. I wish Android wasn’t also closing off their ecosystem.
