iPhone 12 mini became glitchy after iOS 17.0.3 installation

Hi there! After I installed iOS 17.0.3 on my iPhone 12 mini, it became slow and glitchy. For example, the screen would freeze or go black during taking photos. When I try to AirDrop photos, it doesn't let me and just freezes. And these are just a few examples of when the phone stops responding. It never happened to me before and I'm looking for suggestions on how to make it function again.

Thanks!

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 17

Black rectangles on photos Some of the photos on my iphone 16 pro max are appearing totally black in camera roll, then after zooming in some of the image will appear but with a black rectangle covering part of it. Phone feels generally slow too, saddening considering I upgraded from an old broken phone which felt smoother to use than this. Hoping software updates can fix this. Or is it a hardware issue?

Iphone 15 pro issues with camera and photos app I just upgraded to a new iphone 15 pro last month and since then I have had nothing but issues with the camera and photo app freezing, locking up, or being greyed out. I have to reset/reboot the phone at least once a day because of it and then it will work for a few hours before the issues start again. When it comes to the camera, I can open it up and sometimes it will let me take a picture (I hear the snap sound, etc) but it does not save to photos. Other times, I can open the camera, and the screen works, but I am unable to touch any of the menus, options, selections, change from photo to portrait to video, etc. When I try to open the camera in an app (like messenger, discord, etc) half the time it just comes up for a second and then the whole screen goes black and I have to close and reopen the app and the camera won't work until I reboot the phone. When it comes to the photo app, the issues are pretty much the same. The most frequent one is that I can open the app, sometimes I can scroll through the photos and sometimes I can't, but almost always everything menu or option-wise is greyed out and unselectable (library, for you, albums, search, select, ..., etc). As soon as I reboot the phone, it starts working again right up until it doesn't. The same issue occurs frequently when trying to select from the photo library to attach a photo via another app (messaging, email, discord, doordash, you name it). This is getting extremely frustrating and the only help I have managed to get is: "Oh, when that happens, just reboot your phone and it will start working." I shouldn't have to be rebooting my phone multiple times a day. The phone is fully updated and available storage is over 160GB.
