Apple already doesn't turn on new features on old phones that "can't support" them.

The new features being talked about are ones that make an old phone slower. I owned an iPhone 5s and updated to the latest iOS version for 4 years and never noticed any slowness. So, basically, (2) means I would miss out on new features because other people complain about slowness that I don't notice.

Yeah, some people seem to have much higher expectations of speed than I do. Having lived through dial up and actual hard disks (rather than SSDs), I really don't notice any slowness in my iPhone SE. I just notice all the awesome new features.
