My iPhone 15 is sluggish after last update

Does using focus slow the speed of 15 model? My phone is sooooo sluggish after this last update & the tech told me today that leaving it on focus can cause that, sometimes. He said mostly in the 16 models.

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.


Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

I believe Apple released a statement regarding how the processors of i phones under 16 would find it difficult to utilize and run the latest updates. Mentioned issues were

slower speeds, reduced battery life, and texting issues.


this is the reason i haven’t upgraded any of the latest IOS 18’s on my i phone 13. Apple is not offering free phone replacement if my device struggles because of the updates.
