If your iPhone 15 Pro Max is experiencing slowdowns despite having the latest software update and no apps running in the background, there are a few steps you can take to try and improve its performance:


  1. Sometimes, simply restarting your device can help clear temporary files and processes that may be causing slowdowns.
  2. Ensure that your iPhone has sufficient free storage space. If your device is almost full, it can lead to performance issues. You can check this in Settings > General > [Device] Storage.
  3. You can try resetting all settings on your iPhone without losing your data. This can be done in Settings > General Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset All Settings. Keep in mind that this will revert your settings to their default configurations.
  4. Even if apps are not actively running, they might be refreshing content in the background. You can disable Background App Refresh for individual apps in Settings > General > Background App Refresh.
  5. Ensure that you have the latest software updates installed. Sometimes, Apple releases updates to address performance issues.
  6. Check your battery health to see if it might be a contributing factor. Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health. If your battery health is significantly degraded, it could impact performance.
  7. If the issue persists, you might consider backing up your data and restoring your iPhone. This can help resolve software-related issues. You can do this through iTunes or Finder on a computer.


Remember to back up your data before performing significant troubleshooting steps to avoid potential data loss.


If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it is recommended to reach out to Apple Support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on your device model and iOS version.

I have the same issue (Iphone 15). Bought this phone on May.

Apps are running slow: Whatsapp, camera etc.

Notifications sounds are delayed. Even the screen lock sound is few seconds delayed. Often missing call notifications.

Even a Factory reset does not help. It will work better after a Factory reset for few hours/days. But will go back to the old state.

Can't Apple fix this issue?

Yes the same issue is with me I bought iPhone 15 last month only , it was working smoothly and there was no issue but now after a month I have encountered some issues like my iPhone lags and becomes sluggish whenever i use Instagram , Snapchat and sometimes while typing as well . I have tried restarting it as well , cleared the ram as well but still the problem continues I don’t know why

Same here ... got my IPhone 15 a few months ago and notice about a month ago that when I use

Amazon app that the product pictures are slow to load. Show the spinning icon ... Wish I had my IPhone 11 back. Come on Apple what's going on here ? I have done all that they suggested but the problem continues and is just Unacceptable from Apple.

I am having the same issue with my iPhone 15 pro 256gb. I am using less than 20% of my storage, but apps open slowly, safari runs very slowly, I have repeatedly reset the handset and followed instructions from the support team but it makes no difference. This handset runs very much slower than my 14 pro max, and even my son's iPhone 12 is significantly faster in everyday use. If I open YouTube on my 15 pro and at the same time on my Doogee work phone, which is a very cheap phone, the Doogee opens instantly whilst the iPhone takes 30 to 40 seconds for the app to open. Very disappointing situation.
