You say that but Apple was sued over intentionally slowing down old iPhones a few years ago.

Maybe Apple has "better" code to keep things from getting bogged down from clutter but I don't remember Google intentionally slowing your phone down as it ages.
Edit: This wasn't towards ApK if that wasn't clear.
