Why is my iphone 7 so slow and why dose it continue to power itself off randomly?

My phone is very slow and makes snapchat not work, it closes me out of my apps and it continuously powers itself off , out of nowhere even when the battery percentage is in the 60s.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

Use the above info to look up the battery health; the maximum capacity. If it’s at 80% or lower, or if you’re getting unexpected shutdowns as you’re reporting, then your battery is failing, or your iPhone hardware is failing.


You’ll then be considering either a battery replacement, or a replacement (newer, used, refurb, new) iPhone.

iPhone 7 tops out at iOS 15. You’ll be able to get a couple of more years of app usage out of that iPhone 7 (assuming the battery is failing and gets replaced), before apps will start to require later versions of iOS past iOS 15. I probably wouldn’t spend on a repair for an iPhone 7, past battery replacement, though.
