I have iPhone 5c for 3 month now.
Yesterday after updating to ios 8, my Phone got super slow and laggy, when scrolling through multitasking, especially when scrolling through the settings.
So my question is this a scam to update and buy the new superb i-crap plus ?
P.s. never update to ios 8
iPhone 5c, iOS 8
It could be that Spotlight is still indexing, or it's doing some other stuff in the background. It can also be that it needs to purge installation files, which might be difficult if the device is pretty much filled up. Do you have a vast amount of free space, like > 20%? I did when upgrading an iPad3 earlier today and in spite of many negative posts on the Internet this iPad3 (March 2012) is doing very well. No lag, not faster, but everything works. Plus all new goodies (well, expect for Handoff and such).
But ok, that was an iPad. Now just finished upgrading an iPhone5 (2012) which had 27GB free. Installation was quick, with USB <> iTunes and downloading the 1.78GB iPhone5,2_8.0_12A365_Restore.ipsw. Reboot, apps are quick, but you will see a delay on some when opening them for the 1st time. So do that, and close all apps, do a reboot and use the phone for a few hours. See is Safari is still slow, experience the whole thing. If you don't like it I suggest you rollback to iOS7 because it's expected that Apple will discontinue signing iOS7 tomorrow.

My bad, in my first post (which I was unable to post because I was using my iPhone)
I wrote that I have more than 45% free memory, and around 400 mb free RAM.
P.s. I tried to roll back to ios 7 but after entering my ID and pass the screen started flickering rapidly, so I had no choice and updated to ios 8 again.
ALSO, Siri is slow and it lags when I speak.
Well, thanks for getting back. RAM doesn't matter but NAND does, and 45% is more than enough free space...on a 16GB iPhone. However, if you have an 8GB version...
But enough with that; Siri is fine at my end, told me the name of the song that was playing and made the joke that I shouldn't ask her to sing it to me.
Now that you're back on a working iOS8, perhaps a 2nd try at downgrading if your phone is lagging...
I will not update to iOS8. 😠
Iphone 5c super slow and laggy after ios 8
