iPhone 6 very slow with IOS 11 update

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

Many apps unresponsive. Phone also running extremely warm and battery draining very quickly. Turning off background app refresh makes no difference whatsoever. Hard reset has no effect. I have 78GB free.

So, this is not perception or imagination. iPhones with old batteries that were being throttled under previous versions of iOS 11 get an immediate performance improvement when iOS 11.3 is installed, even without a battery replacement. Of course, if you experience unexpected shutdowns or other battery problems, throttling will be turned on. At that point you can live with it, you can turn it off and take your chances with shutdowns, or you can replace the battery.

I believe that's exactly what I said to poster to whom I was replying.

1. I looked at the settings/privacy/analytics/analytics Data - there were a lot of program crashes and dumps on my phone. I ran a backup to Itunes and that removed them and seemed to help.

2. settings/location services/system services/ there are a lot of product improvements that are running on the phones. I turned off iphone analytics, popular near me, routing & traffic , significant Locations (this may impact some of your apps so test them after your turn these settings off) I didn't see any impact on the apps I use.

3. I went through my location sharing at settings/privacy/location services - and changed all the "background" refresh apps to "while using" or "never" to save on my cpu usage for apps that don't really need to update in the background when I'm not using them.
