slow down hardware to force people to upgrade hardware.

According to what I read here on HN, iOS devices have a longer usable lifespan than Android devices, and are officially supported much longer. Is that no longer the case?

It's impossible to know since Apple users are extremely subjective.

It's better to just avoid them IMO. It's well documented the anti-consumer policies done by Apple. It's easy to see them poor money into massive advertising campaigns.

Consider the highly likely situation where someone bought a multi hundred dollar device, is disappointed, and need to justify it to themselves.
