I just came of support with Apple and they suggested to restore the iPhone from a Mac or PC. I did a restore before, but directly from my iPhone. Problem is that this does not reinstall the OS. So I did a complete restore from my Mac and reinstalled all my apps manually (don't restore a backup, so yes, it's a pain)...


My first impressions is that everything feels much snappier. I haven't encountered any freezes, crashes or delays yet. Even apps that were completely unusable before (Safari, AirBnB, Mail, all MS apps) are working fine now. Maybe it's too soon and the issue will reemerge, but for now, so far so good.


The support guy also stated that if you do a clean install this way, and you immediately get the lags and freezes, there's a hardware issue. But most likely it's some kind of issue in the OS that went wrong after upgrading from iOS 12.x to 13 and then again from 13 to 13.1

I have a number of new problems:


1) Phone is slow to open notifications.

2) When I tap on a notification, it goes to the main app page instead of directly to the post or tweet.

3) When I try to open an app, all I often see is a light grey screen, before the app kicks me out.

4) If I get as far as the app's title screen, it hangs on the title screen for almost a minute before kicking me out.

5) In the Facebook app for iOS (which has been a train wreck for over a year -- each update brings new problems, and often re-introduces old problems that had been half-corrected in a previous update), when I tap on Previous Posts in a long discussion, I get kicked out to the first screen of apps.


Hey, Apple? Get the lead out and fix this horrible update!

Thanks but clearing phone is not an acceptable solution and it doesn't speed up mail work (5 sec to display mail list !!!!!! have mercy). Many of us use iphone for work!!! I have never had problems and solutions like this with any phone. And Apple reacts at snail speed with such critical problems while people have with their phones freezing. Apple improove some of not important bugs in 13.1.3 update which doesn't adress none of this bugs. I think They even do not read this forum :(.

It's my first and last Iphone!!!

I3.1.3 still has not addressed the issue of not being able to rearrange applications and create groups (a non-sensual group was randomly created when I tested moving and icon ... I wasn’t even hovering over another icon. The icon wasn’t even placed in the group and to restore control I had to lock my phone ... the application I was trying to move went back to its original position and I was left with a random group of one icon. To remove the group I attempted to move the icon out of the group ~ the group was removed but the app was too and I need to download it again.


I do hope that the developers read this thread and that our issues are taken seriously.
