Same problem - freezing up and generally horrible performance on 5s. Is it possible to downgrade the OS? I'm amazed Apple would release an OS with such horrible performance and containing serious problems!
I want the previous OS! It was working great.
Same problem with my iPhone 5. It first was dragging a bit. Would freeze using the new features. It has now been frozen for hours. I am unable to do ANYTHING!!!! I already tried to hold the power button down to turn off/reset my phone but won't even let me do that!!! It is stuck... Since the phone won't go to screensaver I figure it will eventually drain the battery????!!! Very frustrated!!!!
This is crazy and frustrating. My iPhone 5s was working absolutely fine, till I downloaded the IOS 8. Now my phone is freezing, crashing, typing by itself, works slowly, Network keeps getting disconnected, Touch screen doesnt work. My iphone 5s is literally worthless trash right Now. Apple created this problem in the first place, to make older Model iPhone users frustrated, so that they can buy the new IPhone 6
I have this issue on both my iPhone 5s and my iPad. I might be fine with a second freeze but when it goes on for 15 seconds or more, there's something wrong.
Same problem using iphone 5. This *****!! I've had to repeatedly power it off to reset and even then it continues. I hope Apple has an update to fix all the glitches asap. Home button, power button, and touch screen are all freezing up.
HELP!!!!!!
Same horrible problem here. It makes it very hard to use the phone because of all the freezing. I couldn't answer the phone while it was ringing. The phone went black but you could hear the tone. Apple needs to fix this fast.
I had the same problem. Turning 'Location Services' ON seems to have fixed it.
General>reset all setting seems to fix the problem.
try it.
My phone was having the same problem, freezing and generally slow since installing iOS 8. I tried a couple of the above tips, the last one I tried was resetting everything and now my iPhone 5 won't turn on. It displays the apple logo on start up and sits there doing nothing. I now have no phone. Can anyone advise what, if anything, I can do?
Thx
I got the same problem here on my iPod touch 5. After the update the speed went down and it started lagging. It freezes all the time and apps randomly crash. I really hope this will be fixed in the next update. For now i'll be going back to iOS 7.2.1
My 5s started freezing up, lagging, and being unresponsive since iOS 8 released and I have not even upgraded to it. This is extremely suspicious... Apple!
1. Reset iPhone
Hold down the the Home button and Sleep/Wake button simultaneously for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears
2. Reset all settings
On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Note: Please be aware that FaceTime, Wi-Fi, Message and Home Sharing will be reset.
If it's till doesn't work, I think you can try to downgrade to iOS 7.
Everyone's iPhone is personalized. Some have games, some don't update apps, some have little memory left after songs, videos, movies, pics, so you can't make assumptions based off of your iPhone. You can express your experience and share. others by the millions have this iPhone 5 issue, not just on this blog. While millions have no problems. Apple will sort it out. Try to help the ones with the problems, offer solutions to trouble shoot. Here is what i found to get me by while apple fixes things up!! I am up and running after doing these steps.
1. Update all your apps (Hold Down Home button and power at same time until reboot) Then do it.
1a. If you have Itunes installed Back up all your iPhone and use iTunes to update your apps!
2. close all non-essential apps not in use
3. Close all Safari open web pages
4. Turn or "Notifications and banners" in Settings from Games and other third party apps.
5. When it's locked Hold down home button and power button at the same time for a minute and let it reboot.
6. Take note of what app you were using when crashed or hung.
7. Post result on these blogs. We all would love to help
8. Turn off Bluetooth if not using
9. Look under usage feature and see which app is burning up battery, it may have issues with new ios
10. Call Apple, they should help you get going, support should take your call if you install new ios
11. Post exact problem and how to replicate it here so Apple guys can duplicate and fix it ASAP
Thanks and lets help people have a better user experience while we all work through the change.
Kind Regards

Bbendorf: thank you for trying to help. my problem is from the update to fix bugs of the new ios8. I have held home and on as you suggested, I get nothing. I live in the country an hour away from an apple store. No appointments are available until next Thursday! This is a bit of an inconvenience that I have no phone.
