Man why do people still buy these?  Because they JUST WORK HUR DURR

To be fair, I would not be shocked if Samsung and other manufacturers do the same. 

I just find it interesting that most of the articles just point to the fact that it's because the battery is degrading and that the new software would cause the phone to shut down otherwise. So, uh, maybe account for that when writing the software that doesn't result in just slowing the CPU?  Maybe don't bring ever power/CPU sucking feature to the older phones? But then i guess the whole, "LOL Android is so fragmented," argument goes down the shitter.
