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.
Yes...terrible. It's like typing in molasses. Remember back in the late 90's when you typed, then paused a minute or two to wait for your text to appear? Then had to go back and make corrections? THAT...plus 'sticky' buttons just to exacerbate the infuriation level.
SO annoying. Feels like Apple took 2018 and tossed it backwards a few decades.
I feel the same way... also, the new iphones don't have an output for headphones and I really need one that has an output. :/
This is such a same. I never thought I'de be thinking of moving to Android. I'm going to wait and suffer a bit to see how things will turn out before I buy an Android. But it's so frustrating having to charge constantly. It's affecting my work too!
Hi Nina, they have a piece designed specifically for that/to connect headphones. From what I recall, I paid around $8-9 as I lost the original that came with the device. Price point was a nice surprise :)
About 7 days after getting my galaxy 8 plus, I randomly had no signal nor service; wouldn't even search for a signal. Then, I found out VoLTE I specifically inquired about and was assured I would get was not compatible with the 8 plus (it is compatible with two of the older models, as clarified by a senior tech. Phew! What a relief to find out after the fact and by chance, that I'd been given incorrect information and moreover, two OTHER models have this capability. Super news! Still ecstatic about it), but I totally agree, Phil. They are perfect....they mirror many, common issues my iPhone encounters and more, that ironically, I somehow manage to get resolved by sheer luck and zero effort, along with chronic complaining and blaming, bc those are the most effective ways to troubleshoot an issue I've noticed. But again, I stand by my statement that there is not one thing wrong with Samsung devices. They are 100% perfect like every device.
Everyone, just buy a Samsung. Ideal solution based on personal experience. Then, when you get upset with your Samsung device, go back and buy an iPhone. Keep repeating the same pattern, I say. Solution solved :)
I know there's one included but how can u charge while using them? My friend is going through the same problem and she already bought the iphone 8. Guys, if it was that simple then i wouldn't be complaining.. sorry.. been an apple user for a long time.

Why do you throw out the troll word when someone disagrees with you?
Obviously, if you disagree with someone, you're either a troll or a bully (or both). Let's have none of this silly notion that reasonable adults can have reasonable and civil disagreements. I mean, really.

That's all fine and dandy until users turn off this option and their crippled, degraded battery iPhone 6 models start randomly and regularly shutting down.

I can't wait for the flood of complaints on the forum!
Some people seem to have seen improvement with battery replacement. Not me. I replaced it and have seen no improvement, even after doing a full factory reset, updating all my apps, and having a ton of memory available. I just don’t get why Apple needs to keep updating IOS (ok for maleware i get). I don’t need new emojis. I just want my phone, camera, and a few apps to work. I suspect I am in the majority. If not, I’ll shut it and move to Samsung.

If there are 2 laptops for sale and one says this laptop will reduce its performance when the battery gets low and the other didn’t, I know which one I’d buy!
Suppose the other said "This laptop will crash 5 times a day, but its performance between crashes will be phenomenal! But sorry about all the data you lost"

There are two electric cars for sale. One runs slowly when the battery is low and the other crashes a lot. I know which one I'd buy!
That is true Idris. However, I do believe the novelty is starting to wear thin now - the rapid change in charger design, adaptors, removal of ports Apple consider superfluous, lack of headphone port from iPhone from 7 on and overall creativity seems to be generally stagnating. I used to look forward to watching the keynotes - but have not for the last few years as there was nothing to interest me and more of the same old - same old. Innovation is lacking and iTunes is now an insult to one's intelligence.
I have seen so many grumblings lately from traditional Apple aficionados (musicians, artists, graphic designers and the like) on various media regarding the lack of new innovation and changes that don't make sense. I wouldn't be surprised if saturation point has been reached and there is a gradual decline across the board.
I will keep hanging on to my iPhone 6 Plus as long as feasible, on the basis that my Apple Watch is tied to it. I will be booking in for a new battery shortly to avail myself of the reduced price compensatory offer, even though mine resides on the desktop charging stand for most of the day and is still very sluggish. But, I will have to have a long hard think about what comes next. I guess that will be down to the what is on the market once Apple Watch is at end of life....
Apple has always believed that they know what users need and want better than the users themselves do. And it goes back almost to the founding of the company. My favorite example is on the original Mac - Apple held extensive focus group studies as well as contracting for ergonomic studies of the mouse as a pointing device. Both users and experts almost universally panned the idea as impractical and something that would never be accepted by users.
Then there were the experts who predicted that Apple's eliminating the diskette drive from a new line of computers would be the end of the company because no one would buy a computer without one. And again when they stopped including CD/DVD drives. And again recently when they eliminated the separate ports (USB, Thunderbolt, SD, HDMI...) on their computers.
Oh, and from the 2007 reviews the iPhone would be an epic fail that would sink the company.
It seems like Apple's demise has been greatly exaggerated time and time again.
Hmm.. here's another take on that....
"Profits have been soaring, but there's been a lull in innovation and competition has also been rising. Phones and tablets are a mature market, yet Apple still relies on them for a majority of their revenue. Their desktop industry is vanishing. Their laptop industry is holding on, although the past 2 years have been horrible for Macbooks in a wide variety of ways between the controversial keyboards, absence of ports, dated specs, high prices, cheap display on the MBA. Even their iPhone has been playing catchup for the past several years. They haven't really made any large strides forward in their products in the past 3 years".
So it depends on your point of view - "innovation complacency" is how they have been described on one recent report from ABI research.

Yeah, yeah. People have been predicting the demise of Apple for decades. You don't cite the source for that quote but, it's the usual Apple is going to fail, blah, blah, Apple isn't so great after all, blah, blah.
iPhone 6 very slow with IOS 11 update
