If Apple is going to slow down an old phone so the battery can handle it, you should receive several alerts about it. They're coercing people to buy something new, even if they want to pretend that isn't their intention.

Apple has denied this is the case, and claim that the updates are in place to “smooth out peak power demands, and prevent surprise shutdowns and ultimately prolong the lifespan of batteries.”
Let us know what you think about these updates! Will you still be purchasing another iphone?
