I wouldn't be surprised that as part of a legal settlement, any iPhone older than two years with the 64-bit A-series system on a chip (SoC) (which would be iPhone 5S, 6 and 6S generation models) will be entitled to a low-cost battery replacement costing around $30 per customer. And iOS will be upgraded so once the operating system detects the replacement battery, it will run at full speed again.

Why?

The users have depleted the original batteries for 1190 charge/recharge cycles (assuming they bought their iPhone 6 on the day it was released to the public) and Apple and the Department of Defense says a Lithium-Ion battery should hold an 80% charge after 500 cycles which is its reliable life cycle. During most of that time, they experienced no slow performance. It is long past time to replace the batteries in these older devices which will SOLVE THE PROBLEM. Apple owes nothing for a depleted consumable. Why should they be required to pay for a future consumption of a new battery because they were doing everything they could to extend the useful life of the previous battery? Your position is illogical, Ray.
