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!

Nothing has changed since the release of 17.1, my iPhone 13 is still lagging and buggy even on the latest version 17.5.1. This is absolutely not normal, because the device worked super smoothly on iOS 16.5-16.6. This all suggests that Apple is doing this intentionally so that we purchase new devices

I'm livid. My iPhone is almost unusable. Facebook doesn't display photos. My NY Times apps are so slow. 100% they do this on purpose and I'm looking to divorce myself from apple because enough is enough already.

You should always buy the phone that best meets your needs. Live is far to short to let a small piece of metal, glass and electronics to make you "livid". Sell it and move on to something that doesn't agitate you so much.

Don't you notice it's strange that a device with a high-performance CPU suddenly became very buggy after the update? It would be fine if it became like this after years of use, it's clear there, applications are growing, their hardware requirements are increasing, but here it's simple, I downloaded a small update that didn't change anything and that's it, my $700 phone started working like a $100 phone. Apple has top-level software! I'll switch to Android in the fall, I couldn't stand it.

I've watched other iPhones with iOS 17 installed, they all slow down and lag, just like mine, and the only crutch solution to all this is to turn off auto brightness in the settings and then reboot. I spoke with Apple support, they confirmed that this is a global problem and that I am not the only one who is facing it and they do not know exactly when it will be solved. Just the highest level of software from a large world company.

I also went to the service center, where the specialists did not identify any problems with the hardware and said that the reason for the poor performance was a problem in the software. I am still very much amazed that Apple has not been able to do anything about it for almost a year.
