iPhone lagging and slow after iOS 17 Update

since I updated to iOS 17 1.1 my iPhone 13pro max has become very slow, it freezes constantly, the games have become terrible (constant lag). I was thinking of buying the iPhone 15 Pro Max, but after these problems I will sell my iPhone 13 Pro Max and will go back to using my iPhone 8, much faster and more efficient.

Consider the Pixel. You might not want to trade one troubled ecosystem (Apple) for another (Samsung - all Android native spps have been replaced by Samsung apps... photos, mail, Bixby, etc.) I had bought a Samsung Galaxy tablet and it pales in comparison to the iPad. I won't give that up. Note: there is ZERO way to easily buy music on Android. Streaming apps are all there is - no iTunes for Android either without 3rd party synch tools. This is my sticking point. I still buy my music - but iTunes support for Windows users is non-existent as per Apple Care support. They actually told me there are no Windows support people. So just some info to Google around. Maybe buy an inexpensive Galaxy Tab to get your feet wet in the Android sea. I got mine from Swappa.

Well, last weekend i've made some good amount of money in a Betting site and did what Apple wants me to do...

Sold my iPhone 14 Pro Max and got a 15 Pro Max, and guess what...

THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED AND IM NOT EXPERIENCING ANY LAG! 😎

I use T-Mobil and noticed the slow-slow-down too. I have got around it by using only cellular with wifi off or when at home I get fast results with wifi with cellular off. Right now I am only using cellular and seem to be only missing some iphone sounds and notifications. All my apps are opening quickly where, before with both on I was just giving up.

iPhone 15 pro max is much much slower than my old galaxy note 10 plus. What’s the deal? Even to get to this page it took 10 secs to load. Odd seeing my galaxy open page in .5 secs. But apple just laughing at us.

Same; phone dying at 15-20% now.. screen stuttering. Lagging everywhere , opening apps/typing lagging, constant screen lag. Wasn’t like this before. Maybe stop sending universal updates for all iPhones? We know you’re making the new updates on the newest iPhone; without thought for the older ones. Not buying the new iPhone either. Will look for alternative.

in addition to reset dictionary:

I was advised to:

(1) Reset the dictionary back to the default (for me, that is just English)

(2) Make sure all apps are turned off

(3) Restart the phone

(4) Test the lag whether still happening

(5) Add back dictionaries needed.

It seemed to work for me thereafter.

Additional step suggested was to turn off the Predictive text in Keyboard as part of the above, then add it back in after restarting the phone. )

I did a factory restore after backing up (encrypted) to Mac.

All issues gone.

These 2 steps are highly recommended.

I'm using an 12 Pro Max with iOS 17.2.1. Open links in both Safari and Chrome. Chrome opens instantly. Safari can hang for well over a minute. There is no discrimination with the amount of data that is being loaded on the website. Kind of embarrassed for Apple over this performance issue. :/

I have an iPhone 12 Pro and with this iOS 17 update is laggy as ****! Never had performance issues before with iOS 16. Is this how you make people buying the newest iPhone release? Not cool! Very very upsetting.

Good to know I’m not alone I still have 200 GB of storage free on my phone. It is indeed the latest OS that is making the phone laggy and freezes from time to time.

I thought I was going crazy, but so good to know I’m not the only one.

any ways to solve this please?

The same here…

ios 17.2.1., iPhone 14 plus. Suuuper sluggish overall performance. The keyboard is also laggy and slow to respond…

ios 16 was musch much better. I’m sorry I can’t downgrade back to ios 16…

Apple has stopped all

new feature ⚗️ development and now focused on fixing 🔧 these bugs 🐞 in ios 17.

Apple Is the only one to fix this, so 🙏 please stop asking for a solution.

Let’s wait until they release a fix 🤞and hope it works.

My 12 Pro was extremely lagging but it started to work normally after proceeding with dictionary reset, closing application and phone cycle power. Then I switched on missing dictionaries and there is no performance issue anymore !

finally traded in my iPhone 13 mini for a 15 pro... which was likely rewarding bad behavior from Apple.

VERY, VERY slow. iCal would not sync. Press iCal inbox and wait 3 minutes to start. accept a meeting request on MAC and restarts iCal on iPhone.

iOS 17.1, 17.2 and 17.2.1 killed my iCal, phone and Safari... all apple apps.

man, I miss Steve!

Well, i guess im not the only one after all , after updating to 17.2 , my ping was terrible in fps games i played on my tablet , aswell as the search times on my phone , ping levels went from below 100 to over 300 , on my iphone (11) , the typing itself was sluggish and most of the time searching takes over minutes for some simple answers i needed..
