Slow iPhone

iPhone 6s

16 GB

iOS 14.2


September 2021 factory reset and new battery installed by an Apple store tech.


Cannot update to the latest iOS - not enough memory unless I delete some apps.


Very slow performance. Takes several seconds to open apps and web pages. Battery drains very fast compared to my newer iPhone.


Suggestions?
