I’ve had my current iPhone for 4 years, not bought a single replacement cord or anything for it. Apple hasn’t done anything on my device to make me want to upgrade, I’m not sure what you’re referring to.
Of my buddies with comparably priced android devices I think they’ve all gone through 2 or 3 phones in that time frame. Multiple Pixel devices.
The updates that “slowed” the older devices was for battery performance and was made toggleable. Android devices do similar things.
The iPhone XR, from 2018, still receives iOS updates and older phones still get security updates.
My son is using my iPhone 11 Pro, from 2019. The batter is still fine and I can get it easily replaced if I need to. The phone works, gets updates and nothing is pushing him to upgrade.
You’re not actually right with your criticism here, you’re just biased.
They were literally fined for this. If you had taken a fraction of the time to search that you did writing the response, you’d have found it.
Beyond that, instead of slowing the phone down, they could just make the battery replaceable. And yes, android phones have largely moved away from replaceable batteries as well, but that doesn’t change anything.

and had you read what you linked you’d see how the statement I made isn’t wrong.
It was done for a legitimate reason, not communicated to customers and that’s what the fine was for.
You assert it was for “upgrade” reasons
It was found it was for the reasons I said, they paid a fine and made it more apparent.
Android does the same thing.
You just want to hate one side, which is fine. You can be a tech tribalist all you want.
Just try to be accurate.
