At the beginning of using the iPhone, all applications loaded quickly, whether it was an application that weighs 100 megabytes or 10 gigabytes, and now, after some use, an application that weighs 57 megabytes swings for one hour or more, any application that I put on the jump swings for an hour or more
(Wi-Fi works fine, I checked 100 megabytes per second on the computer)
iPhone 11, iOS 17
I ended up here because I was having the same issue on my new iPad 10th gen. I was trying to download DaVinci Resolve which is 3.3 gb. My estimated download time was over 2 hours.
I seen replies saying to remove any VPNs however, I did not have any installed on this new device.
What was the fix for me was enabling Private Relay which is a feature of iCloud+ (Tap on your name in the Settings app, then press iCloud). After enabling, I stopped and restarted the app download. What was a 2 hour download became a 2 minute download.
Hope this helps!
Ummm never had a problem with my VPN before. Everything ran perfectly. My problem now is after the 2 updates in May 2024! Every app loads at dialup speed, if they load at all! Basically unwatchable/useless ever since.
I’m on an iPhone 12 Pro Max iOS 17.5.1 & in the last day or two ALL of my downloads from the App Store are not just running VERY slowly, but they are displaying the download time in mins & seconds! This is even happening w apps I have previously downloaded but deleted & am attempting to redownload. Needless to say, this is VERY upsetting! 😡

There are thousands if not millions of users with the same problem, just google it or look at it here. You keep repeating the same thing... how much does they pay you for these garbage comments?
Yes, and those thousands and millions (which I doubt) are all using either a “helper” app or VPN, or have very slow Wi-Fi or an obsolete router.
And it is still a tiny percentage of 1.5 BILLION.

You "Doubt" and you base all your statements in just suppositions. You say you are a computer scientist for the past 50 years, well then honor your title and don't state BS without studying properly what is actually happening. You are blaming VPNs and/or bad router configurations or whatever pointed to the user without even knowing if they user has a VPN or a bad router and when most are stating that everything else works fine in terms of connection. I'm also a computer scientist but I'm not being paid by Apple. You have 87,000 replies on this community only, that is quite a lot and sounds like a full time job, so whatever you say has zero realistic and scientific value, you are just a troll.
I have the same problem. I try to download a 453mb app and it takes 5 HOURS. There isn’t any Problem with my internet and I have more than enough space but it TAKES SO LONG! EVEN FOR 75MB APPS. I SWEAR IT TOOK 1 HOUR TI DOWNLOAD THAT THING
Did Apple intentionally slow down downloading new apps after the latest iOS update release?
Apple didn’t slow down downloading new apps at all, so they clearly didn’t do it intentionally. The download speed has only one variable: The speed of your internet connection.
appreciate the response. My internet speed is 250mbps so I think this is very sufficient to maintain a good download speed. Perhaps it’s Apple way of giving me a nudge to upgrade my phone :)
Nope no VPN and I just ran speed check, it came up 246 mbps per second which is decent
I do have the same problem, no apps are downloading, at the same time I downloaded full movie 1gb on Netflix with in 10 minutes, 165 mb app takes forever
I haven’t noticed any download problems, so if Apple is throttling they have singled you out for throttling.
This should be true, but it’s not. And that’s the problem all these people raise. Yet to find an explanation.
Same here, there is for sure an issue with the App Store downloads. It is the same on 3 Apple devices all on high speed internet connections.
I’m having the same issue, not internet related.
This helped. Thanks Lawrence!
Very slow downloading of any applications from the App Store
