Also it's fair to say Google doesn't have the habit of purposely slowing down old models so folks are pushed into buying the newest model.
But as somebody else mentioned it's personal preference.
That article is about third party apps and is from 2019, since then Apple have improved further the OS to notify you in more detail and with more granular controll of what apps have access to etc. The article also calls out Android for being worse.
Apple didn't slow down old phones, the issue was relating to batteries and was badly handled but if the condition of the battery wasn't capable of supporting peak performance they adjusted CPU performance to prevent spontaneous reboots of the phone due to the CPU requiring more power than the battery could sustain.
