I may get some flack and down votes for saying this.
But, I have experienced something quite the opposite. Apple keeps pushing updates that cripple older devices.
In the last few years I have had a number of my devices and those of my friends rendered useless because of updates pushed by Apple.
I have seen a variety of issues the most common and annoying of those include:
1. Battery Failure - Immediately after an update (happened to my iPhone 4, my cousins and two friends in the same week, immediately after the update)
2. Extreme lag/slowdown when receiving calls/typing
3. Front camera stops working or more accurately hangs the application making use of it.
I am not a conspiracy theorists. But in all cases I have seen people including myself upgrade soon after, at times to android devices, but most often to iDevices.
Don't know if it is a deliberate goal. But it truly sucks.
I'd say vote with your feet and wallet... if you move to a competing device, and convince others to do the same, that's good for the larger community imho.
