It was not a bug. I have similar story with my iPhone 4S became unusable with iOS 7. It was never fixed. One day I managed to jailbreak it, rolling back to iOS 6 and was astonished how fast and smooth it is.

They just implemented iOS 7 with much more compute requirements, so only newer phones were able to run it smoothly. The progress of mobile CPUs these old days was crazy, so I don't really complain about it, it was inevitable.

Yeah, that's a bug. Any regression on any supported device is a bug.

That was a very, very rushed release.

Bugs can be fixed.

It certainly felt intentional. Considering the effect of the bug, I'd argue this falls into malice and not a simple oopsie bug.

This wasn't fixed. They never intended to fix it. It looked intentional from the user perspective.
