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
Replacing the battery is the only way for your phone to regain full performance - and that at all battery load levels.
I just had this done this morning. Now my phone runs at the nominal CPU frequency (1400MhZ) just like when it was new.
There is no "big mess" to solve. All Apple did was to gradually reduce CPU speed as the battery degraded to protect it and extend its life (and prevent sudden phone shutdowns).
I meant to direct my response to Philly-phan.

Such a delicate flower!
So your problem was resolved with new hardware and you conclude that the software is faulty. Interesting.
Philly_Phan, Apple has already admitted that their iOS updates contained code that slowed down older phones so don't you think it's time to give up the ghost?
That’s obviously why your hardware change fixed the problem.
Nope, new phone is buggy too. iOS 11 is a work in progress.
Love to see the link for that announcement. Also they didnt 'announce' this throttling they were caught - they admitted it.

Please provide a link to an official Apple statement.
Hi Don,
You don't have to go onsite for diagnostics.
Apple support can run them for you remotely :)
I've not seen any official statements by Apple on this
Hi jn,
Once it gets to 500 cycles, replacing the battery would be a very savvy move to assist
Thanks Liv, I got one ordered, hope it works.
Very welcome *crossing fingers*
I am also facing the sane issue. Apple wants all of us to buy its iphone X.. which I can not afford right now ..
I will never buy Apple products in future.
Why the X? 🤔
iPhone 6 very slow with IOS 11 update
