iPhone keeps freezing after iOS 14 update

iPhone X keeps freezing with new iOS 14 update. Will freeze in any app or even sitting idle and will go to black apple screen and restart. Factory reset did not fix it.

iPhone 11 Pro Max freezing on random apps, at random times, cannot pinpoint specifics. Freezes, then somehow resets itself with little spinning wheel on black screen. Did hard reboot and did not fix. I did my update directly to 14.0.1 (bypassing 14 hoping to not deal with these bugs) Apple this phone was so expensive and we have to deal with these horrible bugs. I mean a piece of equipment that costs more than $1k with software like this? Come on Apple, you can do WAY better than this.

Today I've reinstalled macOS Catalina - and I've forgot about that STUPID indexing on first boot/login which boils CPU and SSD.


And it have me to thing iOS MUST do the same thing - and iMac is on for most of the time (of indexing) while iPhone....... you switch off (sleep) after very short while- not giving it possibility to re index all its mess.


So I've set "NEVER Sleep" option and let iPhone on for about 10 minutes and........... CURRENTLY is all fine - please confirm if it is just me

Same for me: iPhone 8+, iPhone XS Max, iPad Air2 and iPad 11 Pro : Non-Apple apps hang, crash, browsers like opera touch take minutes to load a page. even recently apps still not working properly. It’s becoming a real drag. iOS 14 was released with too much hedges and clearly untested. This is an unacceptable because we need Thea devices for working not just playing

@TKBPARIS This is not the same problem I have. In my case and many others here, the home screen freezes, you can not swipe between the screens. Let alone open an app. What are non-Apple apps? My iPhone is not yail braked. I think it has something to do with the introduction/change of the widgets. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I am having the same issue with my iPhone 11 freezing up. It first started when I downloaded the widget apps. Once I deleted the apps, the freezing was less frequent, but it’s still happening. I’ve heard if you reset all of your settings it will fix the freezing problem that was caused by the widget apps. Has anyone tried that?

My iPhone 11 pro is doing exactly the same. I’ve taken it back to the Apple shop to have it reset and they couldn’t work out what the problem was. They gave me a brand-new phone for my one-year-old iPhone 11 Pro and this phone is doing exactly the same. I would agree that it is the update 14.0.1 which is causing the problem.

Software Version 14.0.1 on iPhone 11 Pro Max, removed all the widgets and hoped for better. But the phone still freezes very often when I start using it. Very annoying, especially if you want to catch a moment with your camera. Or start an app to pay for a delivery and the delivery boy has to wait for the iPhone to react. If Steve knew this, man, he would be so angry.
