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!

Me too !! I thought I was going crazy my iPhone 13 is still under warranty and after updating to ios 17 I’d various problems with battery performance and the phone being sluggish and it’s not running smooth at all the keyboard is stuttering and when i pull down the top menu it’s sluggish and weird I swear my 8 plus preforms better than this even with battery below 80% !!!

Confirm 17.3 brings some stability at least imo to camera and a few other bugs but also some new ones as well such as Find My app even though not in use, Find my functions turned off is constantly on battery stats. I've removed the Find My app and this seems to have fixed it. The more I use this phone the more functions I disable to make it work throughout the day.

It is trully terrible on iPhone se 2020. I regret and I wish to have a choice to get back…


I was using a lot of reading pdf feature. But now it is almost useless. It stops running in the middle of the text. And when I mark the beginning of the paragraph it only reads a paragraph and don’t move further.


Memories app is also super crappy as in ios 16 with no possibility to dorect influence of given clips lenght.


And camera app? And transitions between apps? why so laggy????

i regretted updating to ios 17.3! i believed in their advise to update to avoid bugs and security, but i think i updated a bug instead of protecting my phone because since i updated my iphone 15 plus to ios 17.3 very bad things happened that i always being logged out from the internet and calls are so choppy. this is first time i experienced this things from an update. i hope APPLE will do something about this because it’s causing a lot of stress since it’s an essential accessory for my work.

My iPhone 13 is by far the worst phone I ever had. it’s CONSTANTLY lagging! I basically paid $1500 for a 2010 android, I honestly feel scammed in a way especially since apple is clearly seeing this issue that multiple people have but decide to not do anything because all they do is make another iphone every year. I hope yall get what you deserve for messing with people phones ones. Dumb asl

no problems with my phone... until i upgraded to ios 17.


now... if this thing was running any slower, it would be running in reverse. Not only is the keyboard lagged, so is my gps. (Giving late instructions).


i hope it doesnt take another class action suite against apple to get them motivated to fix this.


id settle for a downgrade to 16

I don’t use 17.0.x, but all 17.x very laggy and buggy then 16.x on my iPhone 13. Now I use iOS 17.4.1 and all bugs and slow down performance here. I am do DFU recovery without reserve copy 3 times. It’s planned obsolescence 100%.
