At a previous company we periodically flipped a feature switch on our dogfood builds that would throttle all network requests to simulate speeds in developing countries with slower cell networks, and it was really cool to see what stuff worked and what was awful when, for example, pictures could barely load or assets wouldn't show up.

You mean Facebook? I know Facebook used to do this for a while

Pretty much every big enough company does it.

I wish they would carry iPhone 4S. iPhone 6 is pretty modern phone. Did they manage to slow it too?

iPhone 4S doesn't support iOS 12–it stopped at iOS 9. iPhone 6 Plus is slow because it had to drive large display after downsampling, and it just wasn't all that much more powerful than iPhone 5S.

Snow Leopard and Windows 2000 I believe will long be fondly remembered by some, for being stable releases that barely introduced new features, but focused instead on stability.
