iOS 17 problems iPhone SE: Planned obsolescence?

Since I upgraded to iOS 17 on my iPhone SE 2020 I’ve had so so so many severe issues. Many are clearly related to operating systems (do I wanna say?) bugs. Examples:

ALL Apps (with no exception) take significantly longer to start up. Even when nothing else is running or after rebooting the device
Battery is at 82%. During a 5min WhatsApp video call, phone shutsd down. After the boot up, it shows 10% battery left. I reboot it manually and then 63% back again.
Typing shows a clear delay (I always have to wait to see the final text). This happens in any app where user writing is needed somewhere.

Is apple forcing a planned obsolescence of iPhone SE 2020 or are these just a collection of severe bugs which seem to not be fixed from patch to patch?

Definite and completely obvious, planned obsolescence. I'm experiencing very similar problems since I upgraded to iOS 17. The phone freezes constantly and is unstable. Corporate greed, as always....ruins everything. They need to sell more phones to keep earnings high, which are already astronomical.

Been a devout ( sounds religious) Apple fan since the Apple IIc!!! But, you're loosing me apple, if you think I will buy another expensive phone, as we head into a recession. They don't mind though, a few lost customers is worth the cost of people frustrated with their old phones (due to the iOS) and buying new ones.

Even the "MeToo" button on this page won't acknowledge its being pressed.
