iPhone 16 Pro Max lagging after iOS 18 Update

I voice text all the time. There’s a serious lag from when I speak to when it translates to text. I’ve never had this issue before, currently have iPhone 16 Pro Max with the latest software update. It is literally one to two sentences behind my voice. I have to wait for it to catch up otherwise if I stop it we’ll cut everything off and not finish the sentence. . Is Apple aware of this and is there a fix?

I'm generally thrilled with the improvements when I upgrade my iPhone, but this time I'm profoundly disappointed. Angry even. I sent my 14 pro max in for trade in, and wish I hadn't. Everything is slower on the 16 pro max. The battery also doesn't seem to last as long, but I've only had it for 2 days so I'm not sure about that. Siri dictation is so laughably laggy it's essentially unusable, and that's a feature I'm used to using all the time.

If you're considering upgrading, DON'T. It's a massive downgrade from the 14 from my perspective.

I made a post saying like abt a month ago i was just abt to pull the trigger on a 16PM.. but wanted to think abt it for a week.. then I started getting alot of bad reviews as your giving now.. which made me wait another week and so on.. now I am glad I didnt upgrade.. sorry to hear you did and now your stuck.. I have a 14PM and it works flawless.. so going to wait for the 17PM now.. I think you and I next time we upgrade.. dont buy the phone the first month or 2 after it is released.. whats happening now it seems is the ppl that are buying the 16pro models are the testers.. or Guinea pigs and Verizon is fixing the problems after the fact and just want the user group to spend $$$$ first.. and Verizon is LOL all the way to the bank and slowing fixing all the bugs which they should have gone thru this months prior to release

So Wait a couple months.. then if there is very little bad review.. then lets pull the trigger and buy and upgrade with some confidence.

After 3 weeks this iPhone 16 is far too hot to hold against my ear and the battery is still dropping like a stone in water. I also click on the login box and a white rectangle appears- what’s that? Lags terribly.

Apple when are you going to fix these issues?

when is someone from Apple going to get onto this platform and address everyone’s concerns?

Wasn’t this noticed in the beta version?

Not a long term solution , it will work fine for a couple of days . But as long as two days it will start lagging again.

it has something to do woth touch response , and siri , and dictation.

But this will be temp solutions until proper fix is made , if its ever made

iOS 16 Pro Max is on iOS 18 and not on iOS 16. Please re-check

It was probably just a mistake, I’m sure Antoni meant ios 18 but got confused because it is iphone 16

I too get the camera app going unresponsive and/or crashing after a day or so. I have an iPhone 16 with iOS 18.

I am having the same issue with apps and safari on the 16 Pro Max.

same thing on iPhone 16 pro - laggy, slow and full of screen glitches. It seems slower than my 13 pro

I’m having the same issues, you can’t even open the software to edit, comma it takes a few minutes to load the software to make the edits in the camera, this phone is so laggy in so many ways.

I am experiencing the same issue. The restart only temporarily fixes the problem

I mean i need updeta my iphone 7
