If true, this could be verified by keeping a set of phones on older software and comparing that control group against a set of phones that received the update.
That said, I'm totally unconvinced by this video. There's zero details of how Apple allegedly slows down old phones. Lowered clock rate? Artificially increased system call times? Nothing actually explained in the video.
or just bloat. make no attempt that your newer versions are as optimized because newer hardware covers your inflation.
Any one surprised by this? This was very apparent around the iPhone 4 / 5 era. And the last ones hit were the 11 and 12 series.
"pill-shaped cutout ... could disappear entirely."
Does that mean "the notch" goes away, too?
Meh - doubt it. I'm using an iPhone 14, it feels like it works basically the same as it did when I got it. In general slow downs are apps doing and not caring to per tune because the baseline perf expectation of app developers increases to the point where those things don't matter. Use the default apps and you're pretty much ok.
