I noticed my iphone so slow and laggy since updated to IOS 14.5.1 according to their recommend.
does anyone have the same problem?
iPhone 7, iOS 14
I installed IOS 14.6 this morning. it looks all apps/functions no longer slow or laggy.
However internet speed is slower than before (IOS 14.6: Over 200 Mbps) after the restated
internet speeds are ranged from 100 Mbps to 130 Mbps.
after having waited for 10 mins to 20 mins, it comes to the previous speed.
at this point, my phone doesn't have any issue after installing IOS 14.6

Hello ruffyoung,
After reviewing your post, it seems like you updated the iPhone and now the apps are being slow. There are a few things that can be contributing to this. We would recommend you use this article to help troubleshoot the issue.
About iOS performance on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Please don't hesitate to let us know if you need additional assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Have a nice day.
Hi ruffyoung,
One more thing to check is the battery condition. If the battery has degraded the CPU and GPU performance could be managed.
"This performance management works by looking at a combination of the device temperature, battery state of charge, and battery impedance. Only if these variables require it, iOS will dynamically manage the maximum performance of some system components, such as the CPU and GPU, in order to prevent unexpected shutdowns."

Cheers.

Sorry, that's not how these forums work and that is made explicit in the Terms of Use.

HI
Why are you restarting the iPhone?
Do you have multiple email accounts syncing to the iPhone?
Does this happen when the iPhone is fully charged?
Hello. I too am having wi-fi issues, except instead of it running slowly, it keeps disconnecting me for no apparent reason. Also am having issues with connectivity in that when my phone restarts, it will take twice as long to connect to internet instead of the usual immediate connection (same issue applies when not restarting phone but resetting router as i am working remotely from home and this is impacting my ability to take calls for my job).
Same issue applies to apps as well...some apps i had no issue with opening in past ios updates, now i can't even open some of them as well.
Some other issues for me include:
any one else having additional issues besides these as well?
I tested that the issue still persists when I boot up my iphone without the connecting it to power charger.
So it's only solution at this point
Whenever you are going to restart your iphone, I recommend you use your power charger
not sure if apple support is aware that IOS 14.5.1 version has issue. their customer support doesn't help at all.
It looks the issue is more complicated than I described in basis of my case.
/** My Symptom Since installed to IOS 14.5.1 **/
/** Temporary Solution to my case **/
your case seems that your phone doesn't come to normalcy even after 20 to 40 mins having been waited after the restarted. right?
Hi,
The problem happens after the restart my iphone since updated IOS 14.5.1 version.
About 30 mins to 1 hour later from the restarted, the phone comes to normalcy.
After installed IOS 14.5.1, it seems that the problem happens again whenever I force to restart my phone.
thanks,
Hey ruffyoung,
Thanks for the information. Let's collect some more information to help isolate what may be causing this.

Keep us posted.
Hi Mario,
thanks for checking this with me.
my iphone 7 is the second time, which was bought in March of 2020 because my first iphone 7 had error "The iPhone “iPhone” could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (9)." I contacted Apple support for this issue. they couldn't do nothing.
I don't think any issue with my second iphone 7. But I am sure that IOS 14.5.1 is causing to old phones series. IOS 14.5.1 was released in rush due to security hole.
Hi I updated my iPhone to 14.5.1 last night and I’m having the same problems as you described. Although suggestions to help from others are well meaning, if your phone worked fine before you updated (as mine did as well with 14.5) surely the problem is within iOS 14.5.1 and will not be resolved until a new release? I have an older iPhone - 7, so unsure if that’s the problem??
Exactly the same issues with updating my iPhone 7 to 14.5.1. Slow phone and slow internet despite 300M fibre. Another brilliant fix from Apple 👎🏻
Cant wait for the phone call from my wife soon as I updated her phone too last night. Please rush out another fix to your fix please Apple.
1) Apple Engineering is not here and does not read these forums. so appealing to Apple here literally does nothing. We are all just fellow Apple users.
2) As mentioned previously, for 24-48 hours after installing an update your phone will run slower as the phone rebuilds internal databases.
3) If you are running third party apps, those may need an update to operate properly with the new iOS version, so be sure to keep them updated.
Maybe Apple Engineering SHOULD read these forums then they would learn what problems their USERS are having. I prefer to call them CUSTOMERS.
I do keep all apps updated regularly. The issue is with the new update. I’ll see how the phone is tomorrow. Thanks.
