Before "battery gate" Apple should already have been sued by consumers for knowingly letting users install updated OSs that older iPhones and iPads can barely run without giving a warning about the unavoidable slowdown that will inevitably occur after the update. What's even worse is how Apple is not letting users downgrade to previous iOS versions with ease, which is something they should do that as a bare minimum.
The whole iOS ecosystem is much less appealing and much more expensive longterm if you account for the actual number of updates an iPhone or iPad can truly handle gracefully without experiencing significant slowdowns and glitches.
Also, I genuinely can't see why the addition of a new emoji or similar, arbitrary additions or corrections to iOS can't be included in a "lite" version of an update, something specifically designed for the specifications of the device in question, instead of having to download and install a full system update with tons of features that older devices simply can't handle.
I used to deny the idea of Apple implementing deliberate, planned obsolescence. I used to think that Apple "gave" so much to its users with providing updates for older devices. But after iOS 11 and "batterygate", it's clear to me how they've come up with ways to cripple older devices in ways that aren't obvious to the average consumer.
Apple is not premium anymore.
