iPhone 16 Pro Max lagging after iOS 18 Update

I recently bought an iPhone 16 Pro Max and it is almost impossible to use. When I want to take a picture the phone constantly goes back to lock or appears a circle of death. In addition, when I want to search for something that starts with the letter "s" in "Siri suggestion" my iPhone but not only because my iPad also starts to lag. IOS 16 is currently impossible to use smoothly and effectively. Should I do something about my iPhone cameras or wait for the next update?

I am so glad I found you all. I upgraded from the 12 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max. I am in full regret mode and I wish I had not turned in my 12 to Verizon. I can't seem to do anything on the 16PM. It freezes and restarts. I can't access iMessage, etc. Is this a bug fix issue or a hardware issue? (Please forgive my lack of knowledge.)

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?
