iPhone 17 Pro Max lags when switching apps and froze completely after a week

Hi guys , I’ve had the phone from launch , it has been a great phone . Other than there being very laggy moments . When quickly switching between apps or closing them . Exactly 7 days later , my phone froze when I went front watching a YouTube video , switched to the camera and nothing would work .. it froze. I had to do a hard reset to fix it. I have video proof as well.

I’m having the same issue, and have PLENTY of storage free. It’s happening with the passcode screen and nearly all of my apps. Sometimes it freezes completely. Very annoying.
