I own a iPhone XS Max and almost immediately after paying off my device, I began to experience an outrageous lag. Even voice calls are no longer working properly. I believe this is an attempt by Apple to push me into replacing my phone with an iPhone 13 ahead of the new iPhone 14 that will be released sometime in the fall of 2022. Has anyone else experienced this severe lag?

Check your battery health. Go to Settings>Battery>Battery Health. If the Maximum capacity is less than 80%, you need a new battery. Until you get one, performance on your phone may be less than optimal. The software Apple uses to handle this prioritize you not having your battery drain extremely rapidly, leaving you with a dead device.
Getting a new battery is fairly inexpensive and your phone will feel like new again.

So, now that you have convinced yourself that Apple is dishonest, would you really buy a new iPhone 13? iPhone 14? I know I certainly would not support such business practices. Do you really believe such activities would be a good business model?
To add to what Idris said, if you go to Settings > Battery > Health you can select whether you would prefer slowing the phone or having the phone shut off.
It would help if you would specify what the lag you are seeing is and what the problem is with voice calls. There may be another issue.
Apple slowing down older devices?
