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!

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.

Current Update (lol) still not fixing any of my issues concerning extreme heat and battery consumption on phone/camera/messenger apps.


Also someone stated that this is solely a user-to-user site. This is not the case since Apple is for sure reading these comments, several were deleted as this one might well be. If this comment is deleted my next phone will be a Pixel.

iOS 17 is an embarrassment and don’t even get me started on the state of Siri- it’s like Apple want to annoy customers away to android. But just watch- Apple will release ‘SiriPro” and charge a subscription fee- you can still have the old Siri for free but they’ve purposely made it worse to tempt customers to pay for a better version once released…


Apple have lost sight of customers and staff in the pursuit of bigger and bigger profit margins. Their business tactics are inhumane and cause suffering to thousands of people in China and the Congo. They delay the roll-out of innovation for years so they can keep selling the same old tech year after year without paying innovation costs. Both their customers and staff loose out so they can keep taking more money out of the economy and putting it in their own hands. I’ve been an Apple customer since the age of 17 (I’m now 37) and have watched the company become more and more greedy and products become less and less reliable. Sneaky stuff like built in obsolescence and taking GB away from devices and forcing subscription based cloud services on customers.


A gross company that I’m ashamed to have been a loyal customer to for so long.

I've purchased an iPhone SE 2022 for a really good price thinking to get rid of Android Auto lag...Guess what, iOS17 appeared and introduced audio stuttering and lag on this device..I'm thinking to sell it since there is no improvement, I tried every possible cable, carplay wireless ,but with no help, so the solution it's to go back to android cause it's perfectly fine :)

Switched to apple 12yrs ago because it was stable and smooth. Seriously considering switching back to android because it seems to me that with the 17.4 ios the slowdown is intentional. You guys remember when ios13? Or 14 came out, apple intentionally killed iphone 6 & 7s to force users to buy new phones? (they where actually caught red handed so it wouldn’t be the first time!)

Now all the yadda-yadda over the EU forcing apple to let other app markets, the huge fines for unjustified surcharges on the app store. So now apple is fear-mongering users on “security”

i’m sad to see how corporate greed is treating apple users as we were some fools 🤬🤯


pity!

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
