iPhone 13 Pro Max EXTREMELY slow!

I upgraded from the XS to 13 Pro Max and I'm about to throw it out the window. I can't believe how slow it is. I've done everything recommended-deleted photos, apps, reset network, called provider, changed settings, etc.. I'm so frustrated. PLEASE HELP!

Any thoughts?

I apologize for being so vague.

Websites take about 4 minutes to load completely if they load at all. Email is a blank screen for about 3 minutes; some don't load at all. Apps open and attempt to load for around 4-5 minutes. Everything I do on it is like this.

I’m surprised I got to this page, this thing is so slow…everywhere I’ve gone, all I hear is, “Apple, Apple, Apple”…personally, I got tired of hearing it so I dumped my Droid and switched…well, I’m about ready to switch back to Droid, whose developer didn’t hide his cancer diagnosis and instead smoked weed as a cure…Apple is just plain rotten…

This post really resonated with me and I felt the EXACT same. I wanted to walk in the AT&T store (where I purchased) & throw it back at them instead of out the window. I had tried everything. Hard reset, wiped it clean, re-uploaded from cloud etc nothing worked. On Wi-Fi it worked ok but off it the phone was literally not functional. Was having to call & get directions bc couldn’t even use my map or Waze app.


At AT&T store they kept telling me it was my data plan & I finally agreed to upgrade to premium elite data or some crap. It seemed to fix the problem & from what I understand if you don’t have a newer data plan that can work with the 5g technology then it’s like “putting a Honda motor in a Rolls Royce.”


This all happened today so I’m intentionally working off Wi-Fi & will give it a couple days. If it doesn’t fix the problem I’m going back & getting another iPhone 10 or something. Screw the 13! I’ve had iPhones since they first started selling them ~ 2006 ish & I’ve never had an experience as awful as this!


Update your data plan if you can. It was only about $10 more /month for me. Fingers crossed it’s REALLY fixed!

Im same issue. I’ve tried changing it to LTE I’ve tried changing it to standard data I’ve tried resetting my phone turning it off turning it on again at first I thought it might be AT&T but my tablet works just fine. It’s only since I got the new phone that I’ve been having connectivity issues on a regular basis. And sometimes I’ll touch the screen and it don’t work and it will take three or four times a closing it out opening it back up again to get it to work very very frustrating. Very very disappointed in this phone

I went from the 11 pro max to the 13 pro max. I’m shocked by how inefficient the 13 is. I had similar things happened to me I called technical support twice I went into the store two different times finally the last time I went in They told me I need to take it back to Apple because it had a one-year warranty on it. AT&T corporate store location Said it had a one-year warranty to take it back to Apple at this point because they could not figure out the problem.

Me and my wife upgraded to the new iPhone pro and iPhone pro max, they both are worst than our old IPhone 8 and 8 plus. It’s slow and always have problems. So many of the things it’s supposed to do, it doesn’t. Always having connections problems, calling problems and staying connected. Where is the 5G? It’s definitely not here on ours. We wish we never updated.
