I consider planned obsolescence to be using software updates to deliberately slow down older devices (presumably to boost sales of newer devices).
Some people seem to be lumping in a lack of software updates for older devices. I think those are two different issues. Apple is quite good at providing software updates for older devices, and I think the criticism of them for not having Mojave run on 2011 macs is very whiny.
In fact, I’d say their flaw is in supporting older devices for too long because it’s things like the A5-based devices on iOS 9 that provide a terrible user experience.
