You nailed the Apple plan, they did exact same thing staring from Introduction of Siri (4S?), ... then Force Touch etc.

With each iteration of phone, they add a shiny new feature that is ONLY available on the newer model.

Siri was only available on new iPhones from then on, but it's now available on regular Macintoshes going back like 7-8 years.
