iPhone lagging and slow after iOS 17 Update

My IPhone 13 has been considerably slower ever since I updated it to ios 17.


Its never been this way in ios 16!


while using safari, I am witnessing frame drops. My keyboard is not smooth. While check for background apps, It’s stuttering and the app overall scroll seems very sluggish and lots of frame drops.



i have more than 50Gb storage space available and my battery capacity is still above 80%.



Even while typing this, My keyboard seems sooooo sluggish!


please help me and suggest me some useful tips to resolve this apart from the usual force restart and all fixes!

Experiencing the same problem here. It's incredibly frustrating to say the least! Ever since the latest update, my iPhone 13 Max Pro with 1TB has became really choppy and lagging especially when switching from one app to the other - lost all smoothness. As much as I love Apple products, the company seems to have some bad intentions! The ongoing Device Performance Litigation certainly doesn't inspire much confidence in Apple.

Hope they fix it soon. After many years of Apple products I’m getting sick of it. BTW, Experiencing the same issue with my iMac. Can’t even open regular websites anymore without getting frustrated!

I have the same issue. For me, I mirror my phone to my PC for streaming the game MLBB. I noticed that as soon as I updated to 17, the picture quality and frame rate dropped when playing games or mirroring to the PC.


I purchased, from apple, the lightening-HDMI connector and it worked beautifully up until the update. I tried to check if it was the cord and tested the same game on my iPad and it is crystal clear.


I think there is an issue with the new update and it definitely needs fixing. "troubleshooting" will not fix this, it's the OS that is the problem. Sorry.
