ios 11 update phone freezing

Hi, I updated to ios 11 on my 64GB iPhone 6s without any issues. But since doing so my phone has stopped working 3 times. The problem is that the phone freezes and I can't press any apps or open app switcher, it's just dead. I have to do a force restart to get back up running again.

iPhone 6s, iOS 11

Exact same issue... Wasn't immediate after update, just started a day or two ago. I've had to hard reset 3-4 times now. Several otherwise reliable apps open very slow or more often crash without opening

I have an iPhone 7plus and after I updated to iOS 11 my phone started to slow down, including IG, FB, Internet even though you already connected to WiFi and the WiFi is right next to you. I tried to restart everything but seems like still the same. It’s ***** every time thy will release a new phone and they will do an update and they will make the old phone slower so we can buy the new one ... smart right that’s how they make money now this days.

Yes. Apple said try it for a day or two. On the 2nd day I was still having issues. They had told me if no issues to restore from my iTunes on pc, not from iCloud. I was even having issues w/the phone while they tried to help me. I had already tried the hard reset BEFORE calling them. I still can’t sent brief video clips to phones they text nor to emails via phone😰😰

I had this happen too, and whenever I connected to Itunes and the Don't Trust/Trust this computer popped up, it always defaulted to Don't Trust. Therefore I could never connect to iTunes. What ended up working was completely draining my phone battery. I kept the flashlight on, played music from the control screen,etc. Once the battery died and I plugged it back in,it restarted fine.

My iPhone 7 Plus has been freezing when I put it to sleep and then try to wake it back up with my fingerprint. It just stays black for a while and eventually will open again if I try enough times. Sometimes it takes almost a minute. This just started happening with iOS 11 and has gotten progressively worse. Today it has happened 10-15 times at least. My brother also has the 7 plus and has the same issue, although not as bad as mine. Anyone know of a fix?

I’m having similar issues with my iphone! Since i updated it, now is not a smartphone anymore but a dumbphone! It’s slower, freezes with any app and when tipying it is slower than a turtlee with anesthesia! I’m also having trouble with the battery, it seems to last fewer hours than before and when charging sometimes it doesnt want to show it is effectively charging.


Dear Apple developers, i’m sure you can do better than this, please we need an ios update fixing this issues asap!!


Best Regards!
