Android and iOS developer here. Web and app.

I have so many damn phones floating around my damn desk. I have near old iOS devices that are still solid for web browsing.

The bigger problem is that mobile processors saw MASSIVE performance changes over the past decade, and apps that are developed for new silicon run like shit on old ass hardware.

In other words, performance with new apps is the pain I feel first. Browsing the web on an old iPhone 6 is generally fine.
