Hasn't changed much? Seriously?
I get consoles day 1, the PS3 was no exemption, and remember how it evolved from 2007 to 2013. You obviously don't, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Here's what you actually said:
I agree that every iOS version makes all devices a bit slower. Some more than other, as well as some iOS versions are heavier than others. But this is not new in the tech world. The same goes for most hardware with upgradable OS's, computers, upgradable TVs, phones, game consoles.
When I pointed out this was nonsense, you backtracked on "game consoles" operating systems to the PS3 store. The store on PS3, however, is a separate app.
And now you then show screenshots of the PS3 store to try and prove something about operating systems. Huh?
You then doubled down on modern Windows being slower on older machines, which has proven to be completely false.
You are nitpicking with Win10. I don't feel evidence is needed to prove a graphic transparency requires more resources than an opaque graphic. I'm going to let you believe what you do.
Transparency, FYI, was a big feature in Window Vista. It is not, however, a big feature in Windows 10. You REALLY don't know what you're talking about in any capacity... Just like everyone else I've spoken to here who tries to claim that slow down on operating systems is normal and to be expected.

The “report” doesn’t actually exist. According to Snopes, a Harvard student did conduct a casual search of Google Trends, and her findings were exaggerated over time.
I'm not sure you followed that article properly. It states the data is there, but says we can't conclusively prove Apple slowed the phone down deliberately. Anyone can go into Google Trends and see for themselves that there's a spike every time an OS update is released when a new iPhone comes out. That's common knowledge.

What’s a better strategy to get people to upgrade their phone?
Intentionally slow it down so the user gets so frustrated & fed up?
Or make the experience of using your phone so great that you want to upgrade?
Seems like #1 is the OPPOSITE of what you’d want to do.
Here's the problem with your logic:
1. We know for a fact that phones slow down with newer updates. Some people claim that this is due to "new features" (which is nonsense that's not seen anywhere else in the computing world), but it's something we apparently all agree on: Updates make old phones slower.
2. Apple does everything it can to force people to update, including removing the option to downgrade.
So Apple knows it will make older devices slower, and it does it anyway.
