I’m no expert and I don’t keep up with all this tech stuff. But, didn’t Apple get into trouble with a lawsuit several years ago? Something about deliberately messing with peoples phones that were older models to force them to upgrade? Around that time I had a friend from work that told me a story and first I thought “conspiracy theory” in my head, but after he told me the story I was like “well damn?!?” I don’t remember all of the details but basically his phone was glitching often. And he was convinced that Apple was doing it on purpose. And he caught up Customer Service and threatened them with this or that and told me that five minutes after he got off the phone with them his phone was working perfectly. As if his threats were taken seriously and they fixed his phone after he hung up with them even though they of course denied it all while still on the phone. I have Apple products I always have. And I’m not planning on switching or anything. I usually upgrade my phone after two years like most people do. Now this could be a complete coincidence, but I swear I never had a problem with my phone. This past August I hit my two-year mark with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Ever since then I’ve been having problems with my phone. It made me think back to that story my old co-worker told me. Maybe it’s nothing, but it’s awfully coincidental. But, it makes me wonder???

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rot?wprov=sfti1 . Try reading this. If you are experiencing too many bugs try restoring phone using iTunes it usually fixes lot of issues. This due to upgrading phone directly on phone is not as clean as upgrading phone using external device which in this case is a computer which actually wipes the device and completely reinstalls os rather than upgrading existing os. Also I don’t think calling and threatening apple is what fixed his issue it’s probably placebo effect or he just simply restarted his phone which surprisingly fixes lot of issues not just phones but any kinda computer.
