iPhone 14 Pro slow after iOS 17.1 update

After installing the iOS 17.1 update, my whole environment is slower, especially browsing. Doesn’t matter if it’s Safari or Chrome. Delays, poor web performance, slow transitions between page updates…


as I use other apps, I see the lag.


Anyone else and if so, is there a good solution. I have messed with background refresh’s and motion settings but didn’t do anythIng.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

I’ve experienced ridiculous lag and performance issues since updating to 17.1. Have had to restart the phone multiple times because it gets frozen on a certain apple won’t open any apps. Need an update to fix immediately.

iPhone is getting worst day by day

I’m using iPhone 14 Pro Max since one year

First Green Screen issue happened when ios 16.6 installed

Now after 17.1.2. iPhone get automatically Black screen while using and get restart automatically and Even Browsing and App Experience is laggy soo much.

Having worst Experience from apple since 1 Year. I have used 6s, 11, 13 No issue was found on that time. This new devices and New IOS are worst. It’s very disappointing 💔

I generally don’t update my phone until the iOS starts causing issues. Some of the primary functions I use include Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth, and when my software is out of date, these are generally the first things impacted.


I completely agree though- it seems patches are far more frequent because they are putting out lower quality updates, and we’re ending up with stacks of issues.

I'm also having these issues. I cleared all of my opened apps (which are only ever 3-5 apps max because I'm obsessive), I stopped all background apps from refreshing, and I've restarted my phone twice.

It's to the point where I can't open certain apps, and when my apps do work, they take a very long time to load.

Also, on FaceTime I am told that I am blurry from different people and on different days.

I have same issues on iPhone 14Pro Max , after iOS 17.2.1 update my screen very offten doesn’t accept touches so i have to repeat , its very unpleasant .

Also apps are opening slower then before and switching true apps is slower .

scrolling /swiping on the internet etc .. is kind of glitchy and have no precision like before update. Those are serious things , feeling like cheap device, why Apple let this , if you want us to stay with you fix that .

I used to work for Apple and in the years after Steve died, progressively it became all about money where I feel Jobs also ensured the money got you quality lasting luxury products.

Frankly with few exceptions I would say the hardware has continued to be good (although has started becoming irrelevant much sooner than previous models. Lots of money to spend every four years for instance, when I used to be able to get 8 years out of a high end model).


But to the point: what I learned at apple and over years is that you should never update until a few months after release to find out about crap like this (sometimes I wonder who gets paid to codd this crappy software: spend more time fixing these issues than adding new unnecessary features).


Also I never update any device beyond one OS past what it came with. And in this case I will be leaving iOS 16 on my iPhone 14 Pro. It’s working just fine.

Mine has been lagging horribley. And freezing. Apps won't work, I miss calls and texts. The phone gets hot and I was told by apple support that I had a software issue. They made a appointment for me at the Apple store where I waited longer then they even looked at my phone. The rep then pulls out the new Samsung galaxy and told me that's what I should have gotten. He only uses his iPhone for work purposes. Even being on the phone for 5 minutes it gets hot. My keyboard freezes and the talk to text I don't even use anymore because it makes me look uneducated and can't spell. If I say the word "THE" it will correct it to"T3E" far from normal yet I'm told nothing is wrong with my phone!
