Why does iphone 4s lag??

Hey i just got a new iphone 4s and got jetpack joyride( considered to be a non taxing game) but it is lagging!
i see frame rate drop, so much that after a while, it becomes impossible to play, as all the sharpness is gone!
i have no apps runing in the background and my phone is in airplane mode.have tried restoring, but nothing...

a friend suggested to use Pi Calculator. at 32000 digits, his results were 4.64 and mine were 5.26 (no app running and air plane mode enabled)

i live in India and the phone was bought in Europe, what should i do?



This started after updating to 5.0.1

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1

Hey, I have the same problem. When I first got my 64gb iPhone 4s, I went through some benchmarks, I've tried Pi calculator at 32000 digits and I get around 4.62 seconds. Now when I try it I get 5.27 seconds with no apps running either. I've also notice some lag in games such as GTA 3,Real racing 2, and all the high graphic games. I would not expect lag as it's 7x faster GPU than the iPhone 4 and it has the best GPU for a smartphone on the market, but I've never tried a comparison between another iPhone 4s so I don't know for sure. This has been driving me nuts for the past few weeks as I don't want my phone to get slower overtime.... Especially if I payed for something so expensive. If I may ask does your app store take longer to load each time you click on the app review? Mine is slower by a few secs than my brothers iPhone 4!!! I'm curious if anybody else with iPhone 4s has this problem. Also my wifi signal seems weaker at times... I'm starting to regret the iPhone 4s and should've went with the gs2. Only because I've payed so much and get so little quality.
