Planned Obsolescence????

I have an iPhone 14 Pro MAX with 512K. This phone was super fast when I first got it. Over the months with all the iOS updates I notice things are getting slow. Incidentally with iPhone15 coming out, this latest updates has not improve squat. I am just texting for the most part and its lagging severally. I've heard of planned obsolescence but seriously? I'm not running a server app on my iPhone, just taking photos and texting and its lagging severally. Are you that hard up to push for new sales? What gives apple?

No, it’s not planned obsolescence, especially with the phone that was released last year. People still use iPhone 6s and 7’s that are 6+ years old. Technology isn’t perfect and that’s why there’s troubleshooting to clear up software issues.


Us other users in this forum would be more than happy to help with troubleshooting. Can you tell us all of the troubleshooting you have done? can you describe the lagging in more detail? What iOS version are you on and how much available iPhone storage do you have and how much available iCloud storage do you have?
