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!

my iPhone 13 is on 17.1 now and still very laggy, frame dropping and no smoothness at all.

whatsapp is always bugging.

power button to end calls not functioning as usual !! Not as i’ used to.

my apps and ios is always up to date

since ios 17 and i hate my phone. I hoped 17.1 will fix it but noooo

hopefully upcoming updates they focus more on optimizing iPhones other than their disaster of an iPhone 15s

My phone is used largely for work and have been having many issues regarding messaging app being slow and oftentimes enlarging and freezing until I force close as well as other steps back in the QOL dept. Tried powering off and full reset to no avail. I only switched over to apple due to the ecosystem and apparent convenience in cohesion with work. This update has made me question that decision.

You are absolutely correct! My iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS 15, 16, and 17 has been the worst Apple experience I have ever had. The camera module was replaced - fixed nothing. The whole phone was replaced last August - fixed nothing and THEY FORCED ME TO NOT RESTOTE FROM BACKUP to troubleshoot. Now with iOS 17, scrolling stutters, apps struggle to perform, three touch screen didn't always respond, and I have more than 100GB free on my 256GB. I just had my 2nd gen Airpods replaced under AppleCare as they don't always connect. I hard power off 2-3 times a day...nothing helps! AppleCare is a joke and they only want you to reset the phone. I have 28 apps using face security to unlock and several authenticator apps that ALL have to be set up again after a reset. It takes weeks to get my phone AND APPLE WATCH usuable again. And forget about all this switches, settings, app data not part of iCloud - Adobe Reader for example - that are LOST WITH A FACTORY RESET. After more than 10 years of iPhone, looking very hard at the alternative.
