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!

You have posted to a user-to-user site. We are all users here......just like you.

No one here will have any information about what Apple might do or when they might do it.

I have iphone 12 too and it’s so slow with IOS 17. Just updated to 17.3.1 was hoping to fix the issue but nothing has changed. Really annoying websites loading takes ages.

I turned off everything suggested by the list an my phone still lags. I think the best thing would for me to do would be downgrade to ios 16.

iOS 17 not buggy, it work perfectly on iPhone 15.

iOS 17 laggy only on old devices. It’s planned obsolescence.
