Even with the new battery, the iOS and all your apps have changed so much and consumes so much more to exist, it will never feel as spry as it did when your phone was new some 7 years ago.

Just think about how many new features have been added since then to everything on your phone. All of those require some form of resources to exist, which in turn take battery power to create.
