Troubleshooting a Lagging iPhone After an Update:


A. Try the Tips at these Apple Support Links:


B. Storage and Lagging:

Your iPhone may have been trying to get itself together in prep for a lot of things. So, how much storage is left? See if lots is taken up my "Other"/"System Data", and see if you need to clean space, big time. If it is loading this slow, then having low storage availability would cause this lagging.

So, Clear Space, Using my User Tips:


C. Provide Apple Feedback:

Do your Part: Report this to Apple.  Apple Support will not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what is going on and what needs to be fixed.

  1. Go Here: Feedback - Apple - iPhone
  2. Select: "Bug Report" for the "Feedback Type"
  3. Comment On: That this all began after installing an update. Include the URL of this thread.
  4. Proceed from there as necessary.
