The repetition of "this confirms my belief", confirms my belief that it is a new written meme, confirming my belief that it is funnyI agree. Apple wouldn't want you to buy a brand new iPhone 7 today and have it lagging and moving slow.
However, when the battery wear sets in then iOS does it's job to throttle the cpu and slow it down. After seeing first hand iPhone 6s and 6 being throttled then as soon as the batteries are changed they are no longer throttled, this confirms my belief that Apple is throttling iPhones once the battery wears down.

Second paragraph, thumbs up. But the first.... Apple has the 8 and X they are focusing on to make perfect, naturally letting the 7 fall the wayside.I agree. Apple wouldn't want you to buy a brand new iPhone 7 today and have it lagging and moving slow.

I'm sure they WOULD like the 7 to be optimized, but it probably isn't because they probably don't have the resources or motivation to do so.
...and reread and see your point: Someone buying new today the 7 at $550, Apple wouldn't want it laggy or slow or low battery life.
But, again, it's not the newest devices, so they may be comfortable selling a lower priced device with concessions.
