iOS 11 incredibly slow on iPhone 7 Plus

Yes I posted this exact same problem, I'm really glad I'm not the only one because the women from Apple Care I talked to said there wasn't anyone else calling in with this problem. She told me she'd call back Thursday to see if the problem had worked itself out because she did not have a solution. I'll let you know if I figure anything out.

I'm really sorry to hear about everyone in this thread but also slightly relieved because this is the exact issue that I am having!

I am receiving a call from a senior adviser tonight at 18:00 and I will do my best to update this thread if there are any updates or if I find a way to sort it that does not resort to reverting back to 10.3.3

Good luck!

I am also having the same problem, very slow, sound not working (and therefore can't take calls) vibrate not working - having issues speaking to apple because I can't use the phone!

Anyone actually had this resolved without going back to 10?

Exact same problem on the exact same phone. Upgraded from 10.3.3 to 11.0 last night and the phone is barely usable. Again, experiencing the exact same issues as reported in this thread on my 128 GB iPhone 7 Plus. No issues experienced during the actual upgrade process. Multiple reboots do not resolve the issue.

It's not only the iPhone 7 plus (128GB). I'm using an iPhone 7 (NOT plus) 128 GB and have the same problems. Someone in here wrote of the problem on their iPhone SE (64GB) and if I remember correctly someone also had the iPhone 6s with the same problems.

Last night, I did a backup of my phone via iTunes on PC. I then immediately disconnected and upgraded the phone from 10.3.3 to 11.0 over-the-air. If I restore the phone from that backup I made last night, will it replace iOS 11 with iOS 10.3.3? Or, is there a separate "downgrade" process I must use?

From the second I upgraded to iOS11, EVERYTHING I do is painfully slow on my 7s! There’s a huge delay when opening any app. I’ve already had a couple of crashes. While I like some of the new additions, they are certainly not worth this. If someone knows how to uninstall this and install the latest iOS10, please tell me. I loved my phone. I now hate my phone!

ridiculous. my phone was working perfect before update.

Yeah, I know the feeling. My car was working perfectly before the IOS-11 update and, immediately afterwards, I got a flat tire!

I’m I. The exact same boat. I have an iPhone 7 Plus 128gb and I’ve noticed severe performance issues since the update. I often open up apps and they freeze. I also had the entire phone freeze and inoperable for 10-15 minutes before the screen restored but then my flash turned on randomly.

Don’t even get me started on the battery drain. I get about half the battery life of what I used to. I’m not sure if this is a ploy by Apple to try and get people to pay to upgrade their phones, but it’s ridiculous. Since I forgot to back up prior to upgrading, I can’t roll back. I’m stuck with this useless IOS update until Apple chooses to fix their glitches. I don’t understand how a company as big as Apple can screw up a major software rollouts repeatedly. I’m hopeful that an update will be available very soon.

Yes that was the original reason I log onto this community. I have the same problems. And apparently being in a Facebook messenger call and sending a text message at the same time is too much to ask since it just crashes the app. I mean 10 years ago on my iPhone 3GS i was able to multi task.

Can Apple at least give us a public announcement or acknowledgement of the various issues since iOS 11 ?

I know afs and high Sierra will be a good update for my MacBook Pro ssd but I don’t necessarily want to have the same experience I’m having with my 9 month old 128 iPhone 7 Plus because I updated the following morning of the release

Hi guys,

Been a while since I posted on this issue but I have been monitoring the thread, Just wanted to chime in and say that I have never had my screen replaced nor have I ever experienced any problems or damage relating to hardware.

I myself have been back and forth in touch with apple on this matter and they are currently looking at my 2nd set of log files that I have sent them.

I will update if I have any noteworthy or worthwhile updates.

Good luck guys.

So your recommendation is to move to New Jersey, hire a lawyer and fight Apple for the right to allow Joe Sleaze to work on your iPhone?

The moving to New Jersey thing would stop me. (Just kidding!)

Wish I never did. Our home has a sellable value today of $200,000. Our annual Real Estate tax is $7000. I have a son in rural Pennsylvania. His home has a sellable value of $600,000. His Real Estate tax is $4500. Our Sales Tax is 7%. Actually, it was just reduced to 6.875% (no joke).

We have two cars. My wife has a 2007 Accord and I have a 2008 Fit. Neither of us has ever been at fault in an accident in our entire lives. Our annual auto insurance for both cars (liability ONLY) is $1700.

On the other hand, New Jersey does not get impacted by serious weather situations. In fact, a hurricane (sustained wind => 74 mph) has NEVER touched New Jersey territory. As bad as the storm Sandy was several years ago, when it hit New Jersey, it was no longer a hurricane. We don't have tornadoes or earthquakes. We do get snow but the annual total is around ten to twenty inches (depending on location in the state). We almost never get a single snowfall greater than six or eight inches. Summer temperatures MIGHT hit a high of 95 degrees. Winter temperatures MIGHT hit a low of 15 degrees.

The state is crowded. In Jersey, we count people per square foot instead of per square mile. NJ does not have and has never had any unincorporated land.

While I'm waiting on the iPhone X, I need a phone that is compatible with my Apple Watch Series 3, which requires iOS 11. So, since I'm convinced these problems are a result of my aftermarket screen replacement, I think I'll buy a 64 GB 8 Plus, sell my downgraded (to 10.3.3) 7 Plus on eBay now, and then sell the new 8 Plus once I have the X in-hand on November 3. What a pain in the arse.
