iOS 11 incredibly slow on iPhone 7 Plus

So frustrated - iOS11 installed perfectly and works great on my iPad Pro. Installed on my iPhone 7plus (with 90GB free space) a few hours later and the phone is essentially unusable. The install went OK but when I click on any app (3rd party or native iOS - like Mail or Messenger) - there is a 20 second delay before the app opens. Unable to make or receive phone calls, texts.

Reset network settings, then all settings, then a complete erase / restore - still slow as Christmas. My phone, at this time, is essentially useless. Google Searches don't show this as a common problem - I'm hoping someone here has experienced this and has a suggestion?

I'll join the choir.
I have the exact same problems on my iPhone 7 (128 GB): Extreme lag, no sound, no vibration. I've tried reinstalling as new phone without it helping. Rolling back to 10.3.3 gave me a working phone again.

Please fix this ASP!

I was just on a chat with apple support and they tried to blame the hardware.

ridiculous. my phone was working perfect before update.

Hardware issue seems like a weird cause since all the phones worked perfectly until iOS 11.

But please let us know what they find out Monday.

So none of us have an answer to this problem yet? I'm going in to Apple today to see what they'll say to me in person. All problems still exist for me.

I’ll add that I have this same problem on a 6s.

Why don't you try the same solution that worked for dcrete514?

I second that!

My iPhone 7 Plus is also slow but not 20 seconds to open an app more like 4 seconds, which seems like not a lot, but after the app has to load which also takes way much more time than before.

11.0.1 did nothing to resolve the issues on my 128GB 7 Plus 😠

Sep 26, 2017 11:58 AM in response to Patrick G

Also didn't resolve anything on my iPhone 7 128GB.

How does one roll back fro iOS11 to 10.3.3? Having the exact same problems as mentioned by everyone else! Phone has been rendered unusable.

what would a third party screen do?

Sep 26, 2017 12:48 PM in response to mwylie03

Introduce a piece of hardware (or pieces of hardware if a cable or other component broke and was replaced during the process) that is incompatible with iOS 11.

Actually, I have. But I was told it was an original Apple screen (Maybe it wasn’t). I posted the original question here - do you think there is a link? Did you re-lace your screen?
