16 Pro Max Freezing and Laggy

I Went through the transfer via iCloud earlier today and had multiple issues with it freezing and not responding. Several times it would go to the black screen and white spinning wheel. Once it finished, I continued having issues with it not responding. Now when I go to delete apps, the phone completely freezes and has to be rebooted. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

Loading, freezing, restart, repeat So once in a while for the past few months I've been getting a random black screen with a loading symbol and it would do that for a few minutes and then go to my lock screen but now it's stuck doing it over and over. Even after the phone reboots by itself or I have to make it reboot, Every single time It turns on and I try to unlock it, it unlocks for just one second and most of my apps are gone for some reason but then, my screen goes black pretty immediately with that loading symbol but the symbol freezes now after just a second of spinning and doesn't spin anymore. It stays stuck like this for a really long time before it finally reboots itself or I make it reboot and it takes a super long time to come on and then when I unlock it after its finally back on it just happens again anyways. It hasn't let me unlock it for 2 days and has been doing this over and over. Tried charging it and rebooting it a million times and I just got icloud storage like an hour before this started so I could back up my photos of my kids and now I can't even get into the phone to get it to back up. I don't want to have to reset it and lose all of my pictures that are sentimental to me that I wouldn't ever get back. What can I do to make it back up my photos or make it stop freezing and crashing. Also I don't have a computer other than my Chromebook so that's not an option

iOS 16.4 Terms & Conditions Freeze iOS 16.4 was installed on my iphone 13. I cannot access the New iCloud Terms and Conditions to begin reusing iCloud. The screen freezes. Rebooting, signing out of iCloud, turning on Airplane Mode is not working.

iPhone and iPad are freezing every day after updating to iOS 16 From the first day after the first update to iOS 16 I'm having some weird issues with my iPhone 12. It happens almost every day, sometimes even more often. Neither of the following iOS 16.x updates resolved this problem. While my phone does not completely freeze, it stops doing what I'll describe as 'new things', like: load data from the internet (websites are not loading and apps are not refreshing) show push notifications (but sometimes does, without any text) open new apps that weren't loaded prior to start of the problem (if I close any opened apps from the switcher, they won't open again too) load sections of opened apps that weren't opened before show new UI elements that weren't shown before (like screenshot editor, control center, power-off screen) If I continue using the phone in this broken state, it's fine for the first couple of minutes, but then it usually glitches out completely (I've tried to do a screen recording and it was successful, but when I ended it the phone freezed). A reboot usually helps, but since the power-off screen is not always showing, sometimes I have to do a force restart (vol up - vol down - power hold). This problem is super annoying because the phone can hang on its own, then I notice that it's doing nothing an hour later and miss a lot of notifications. I've asked some friends if they noticed anything similar on their iPhones (some have the exact iPhone 12 model as me) but they aren't. But then happened the absolute bizarre thing - I've bought a brand new iPad Air 5 (2022) three days ago, updated it from iOS 15 to latest 16 and yesterday, when I was finishing setting it up (it was restored from iCloud backup of the super old iPad), it hang up exactly like my iPhone. This confirmed that the problem is not my iPhone, but what then? Does anyone else have the same problem? If so, did anything help to resolve it or at least make it less often?

Yes the keyboard lags and the settings / phone freezes and lags. I have to close the apps to get it moving again.

Keyboard lagging is insane in Pro max.

I have been having a super hard time with my keyboard and lagging. I will also be on apps trying to swipe and it will take me sometimes three times to be able to swipe anything. So frustrating
