Those with a tendency to reach for a conspiracy theory to explain everything, say that Apple slowed down these older models on purpose in order to generate sales of its newer handsets.

Manufacturers put it in their top (and not-so-top) phones, app developers made software that smulates the feature, even Google jumped on board and achieved it with a single camera module. And while it has been fun to use and dissect, we wondered if it has gotten old for most people by now.
When the iPhone X came out, there were quite a few changes about not only how it looks, but how it operates. Apple removed the iconic home button and Touch ID, replacing them with gestures and Face ID. It was a lot to take in and, while it felt like what made the iPhone a simple and straightforward device to use was being removed, we still reserved judgment for when we would get to spend some time with the smartphone.
