My iPhone is over 5 years old and has not slowed down. When Apple did slow down phones, it was because the battery was aging and it could not produce enough power to power the CPU at full speed. Apple had two choices:

1) Reduce the CPU speed so the phone did not crash 2) Not reduce the CPU speed and let the phone crash when the battery could not produce enough power.

I think Apple made the right choice.

The case in my link clearly shows that many people have a different opinion.

You would rather your phone shut off?

I would rather have the right to know what happens with "my" phone and choose my own action. The result was that non-technical people thought the phone was too old and needed replacement.
