After receiving IOS 11.01.1 on my MGCT2LL/A1522 (iPhone 6), my phone is super slow. Apps hang, then close (like the Starbucks app), my purchased music would just stop in the middle of a song, then I had to close the app and re-open.
In general, everything is very slow to respond, and I have rebooted twice.
Any suggestions
HERE'S THE FIX: Go into Settings> General> Reset> Reset All Settings (this will reset iOS settings, won't touch your apps)
WHAT THIS DOES: This will *not* erase your phone, but will reset most of the things you can adjust in settings on iOS (you'll need to re-enter you wifi, adjust notifications and privacy settings again, reset your default account for Calendar and Notes, etc, but all your email accounts and iCloud account will still be logged in and all working).
FIXES THIS ISSUE: I had the same issue: iPhone 6S. Upgraded. Even with 25GB free, I'd press a button and often have to wait 1-3 seconds for a response, or copy and paste selectors would be really slow to appear, even the keyboard was unresponsive... phone was barely unusable, literally. I think most people don't get it because most who updated to iOS 11 noticed it being a little slower but not 90% slower. Those like us need to take this step.
BACKGROUND: When I was scouring I found that erasing your phone and restoring from backup worked for people on Reddit, and that should be reliable. I was in the process of doing that myself and accidentally chose "reset all settings" instead of "erase all content and settings". My phone rebooted and all my apps are fine, just needed to go through iOS settings and readjust things.
ALTERNATIVES: This is obviously better than either (a) downgrading to iOS 10 or (b) making sure your phone (as it is now on iOS11) is backed up to iCloud, erasing it, and restoring from that backup.
The difference in speed is shocking.
Pretty sure this will work for you too.
And then there's the subsidiary issue that iTunes 12.7 no longer seems to be a repository for your apps. So, that option seems to really be, write all your apps down, find them in the App store, then download them one by one.
Hi Tarun (tarun5225), Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We’ve removed your post iPhone 6 very slow with IOS 11 update because it contained either feedback or a feature request that was not constructive. To read our terms and conditions for using the Communities site, see this page: Apple Support Communities - Terms of Use Thanks, Apple Support Communities Staff hello... yesterday I read tht apple has claimed that older iphones like 6 with older battery are causing slow performance in the device, however, i have bought this iphone 6 in april 2017.... still i dont think its a battery issue....if its a bug why dont apple developers solve this....

You have to explicitly accept the update for it to be installed. I'm sure it's quite possible you simply didn't read the box that you clicked "Ok" to but that's not anyone (except possibly yourself) tricking you.

No, they remove posts that violate the Terms of Use. It is quite possible to say negative things and not have a post deleted. Mostly, it requires that you be polite and not speculate. If Apple delete all posts that were negative, this thread wouldn't exist. Certainly the thread complaining about the change in the way the Control Center functions wouldn't be allow to continue.
If you say, "I hate X about my iPhone. I think it's awful, possibly the worst thing Apple has ever done. How can I change it or workaround it?", your post will not get deleted. You may get called out on the hyperbole, of course. However, if you say, "Apple s*&&s {rude}, they did this on purpose to make me buy a new phone {speculation} and I'm going to start a class action law suit {just a bad idea},", yes, your post stands a very good chance of being removed.

Don't blame the user for this. When a new version of iOS comes out, users get prompted repeatedly to upgrade. These prompts interrupt what you're doing, and you have to tap buttons to dismiss the dialog before you can get back to using your phone. The buttons are not clearly labeled. One of them says "Install Later". Most people who tap that button probably think it means "ask me about this later." But that's not what it means. If you tap "Install Later", the update will install overnight, and you'll wake up with a phone that has the new version of iOS.
There is no way to tell iOS, "I don't want to update. Please stop bugging me about it."

Don't blame the user for not paying attention to what an alert says? Hmmm....

It's pretty clear that Apple, the company known for wanting to control things, thinks people should install these updates, especially as they often contain very important security updates. However, you should still let them know what you'd like to see:

Do you guys want to laugh at a good joke ?
Watch that (at 18min) https://youtu.be/38IqQpwPe7s?t=18m
It’s the iPhone 6 presentation keynote 😂
Thank you Phil, you just lost all your credibility in today’s context.

That was in response to 'Allmight', but for some dumb reason this message board chooses when and when it won't post in the right order. Stop being so Patronising.
Hi Andrew,
Agree on mjestic's feedback - very informative and useful.
Both of you offered useful, practical information that can enlighten and/or assist many, I feel sure. Ty both for that!
Loving the idea of the battery pack, esp for that price.
I know many who may follow in your lead to help with the performance of their devices. I'm definitely passing that idea forward :)
Yea just go get an android. the newest version did not fix one thing, in fact my 6+ runs even slower. As i type right now there is at least a 3 second delay from the digitizer to the text appearing on screen. UNACCEPTABLE. This is how they force you to go and buy the newest iphone. sickening business model. steve jobs is rolling in his grave. apple will not fix it. That I can tell you.
I still haven't updated to iOS 11 for fear of a slow phone. So when I do, I'll follow all the suggestions here. If its still slow, I'm gonna take the iPhone 6 to Apple and have them deal with it. Whatever the cost, it'll be cheaper than buying a whole new phone.

18% wear on the battery according to the battery life app. So the battery has average wear, not a bad battery. try again apple shill
I fail to see how being rude is necessary. It's certainly not appropriate.
iphone is done. im going to the store now. i have never heard of samsung doing this stunt to get new phone sales. And im going to tell everyone that i know for the rest of my life not to buy an iphone. TIGHT BUSINESS MODEL BROS
Great response, I did this again yesterday and my phone is reasonably fast again (not perfect, but not terrible). My iPhone 6 is over 2-years old with the original battery that lasts me 14-hours per day, I charge it every night.
Before the update my phone worked perfectly.
Yes , when I took the update , my iphone slowed down to a crawl. It is officially Garbage now.
The apps run and run and run and drain the battery so fast now. This was really a dumb move..
And I got the battery replacement and the status is the same. really. I think some one owes me another phone. I am very unhappy right now.
iPhone 6 very slow with IOS 11 update
