iPhone lagging after iOS 18 Update

After today’s update, I’m facing immense lagging issue with the UI, while playing games ( graphics as Average) and typing pauses. System had utilised only 50% storage. What’s the suggested solutions?

Since updating to iOS18, my iPhone has been having nothing but issues. I switched from a Samsung A53 5G in May, and now I'm having issues with receiving/making phone calls, messages not coming thru, apps randomly crashing, alarms not working, chrome/google not working, basic functions essentially telling me to F off. I got an iPhone because I wanted to try something new. Got told by a lot of people that iPhone was the way to go. I am extremely disappointed in not only the phone itself, but with Apple as a company. I will never buy another iPhone again

I purchased my first iphone about 6 months ago. Iphone 14 pro max thinking it was going to be the best experience since sliced bread.

I was so wrong, I admit some of its due to getting use to it after android.

But the 18 & 18:1 update have slowed the basics down ( loading a safari page) that I realized what a horrible mistake buying this phone is.

I wish I had purchased a Samsung Galaxy Z fold 5 instead

I would like to provide feedback regarding some issues I've been experiencing since updating to iOS 18.

  1. Audio Lagging: When playing songs on YouTube Music, I've noticed a significant audio lag. The volume spikes to maximum for about half a second before returning to normal, which disrupts my listening experience.
  2. Bluetooth Connectivity: I've also encountered connectivity issues with my Bluetooth devices. They frequently disconnect or have difficulty pairing, which is frustrating.

I hope these issues can be addressed in a future update.

I’m having the same issue: I have to restart the phone a couple times a day to make it work : even as I’m typing now I’m experiencing “sticky keys” like on an old typewriter. I’ve had background refresh turned for a long time to conserve cellular data.

This update ruined my vacation with my nephews: I couldn’t take any photos because the phone is so laggy that between the time i pressed the camera button and anything happens the 3&5 yo boys would have moved on to the next thing.

Another thing I noticed since update: phone battery health was downgraded - it was 89% before the update and now it’s 86% - another ploy to make me think my phone needs replacing.

Somehow apple was able to make the same ios function just fine on an ipad which has exactly same capacity as my phone: Apple stop forcing people to buy new phones! I have been an apple customer for 15 years (laptop, ipad, watch, phones) - but as i switched to apple at some point i can switch again.
