An electrical engineer recently told me that when phone and gadget batteries get old, sometimes their “peak output” (my paraphrase) drops below the peak consumption of the electronic device. So when the processor starts working hard and tries to draw max power from the battery..

...the battery falls slightly short of providing the necessary power. No longer operating within spec, the processor glitches out. The may or may not be the cause of all my old electronics becoming unreliable under load, but it’s a satisfyingly tidy explanation.
