Apple iPhones are designed to die - Customers

That's better then what a lot of Android OEMs do, never release an OS update or only one maybe 2.
 
Complete and utter nonsense.

My iPad mini 2 has seen a severe performance hit because of the update, not because of age.

Atleast the device doesn't have updates slowing it down.

Are you that dumb? reducing clock speed to save battery life on barely noticeable difference is what any manufacture would do! Replacing an old iPhone battery with a new one returns clock speeds to normal. Stop being a headline muppet

Heavy updates are programmed to ignore clock speed ability(which drains battery) which in "theory" slows down a phone. You giving a pinky to receive a hand. iPhones rarely need to overclock

Wasn't only talking about "batterygate". There's many reviews stating they get slower with each update.

Small screen is even more of a liability, and speed still isn't what it used to be.

So no updates is better than an update that is designed to improve user expierence .

If it improves the experience then, no, but that's rarely the case on older phones. Also I wouldn't say no updates. Android is very modular and updates happen via the Play store and Google Play services. Just at the end of last year I received the Google assistant on my 2015 lollipop phone.

Funny how every update I do geekbench and antutu on my 6s Plus(best iPhone ever created) and Note 5. I'll straight up tell you the iPhone gets better scores and clearer space each update. Battery is the only f#ck up that happens. Note get crapped on every time, I have to clean cache and reset it to factory settings many times to stop that ghost lag nonsense

:erm: Did you actually read the ars article?

In particular this paragraph...

That's mostly good news for people still using the four-year-old phone that Apple sold all the way up through late 2014. It doesn't get all of iOS 9's new stuff and it's not nearly as fast as an iPhone 6 or 6S, but competing Android phones from 2011 are all distant memories at this point. This is the longest Apple has ever supported an iPhone, and iOS 9 manages to run about as well as iOS 8 did on the same hardware.
