After updating to iOS 11.0.2 why is my iPhone 6 Plus running slow?

This is a patently obvious attempt to push people away from their older hardware. Forget the idea that Apple was once known for superior hardware that lasts, and lasts well. Bloody ****, my iPad 1 operates better on iOS 5 than my iPhone 6 OR 6plus on eleven. Nothing like waiting 12 seconds phone the camera app to work only to find that he camera took a picture of the inside of your pocket after you finally gave up and stowed it.

This is it, I’m literally done with Apple. These phones will me relegated to expensive media players and I’m switching to Android for the real work. I’m not this kind of person, normally. But I’d seriosuly consider being part of a class action civil suit. This was an action on the part of apple that was pre-planned and blatant. They new what they were doing and how it would affect their users. It’s a serious breach of loyalty to their customers and I can’t trust them. Done.

If you replace your iPhone 6/6S battery a new, fresh $80 replacement battery from Apple, all of your iPhone 6/6S woes will go away.

The cost a two battery replacements is still cheaper than a new Android phone.

Sounds as though it might be time to get the battery checked out and possibly replaced.

My 5s started running slower and doing random shut-downs, even with a full charge. It began doing these after the iOS 10 update, but since I'd had the phone for for 3 years by then, and it's my only phone for the past 2 years, I figured it was time to get clarity on why this was happening, as it was only getting worse with each update. It was driving me bonkers when traveling and needed Google Maps to guide me (btw, I'm still using iOS 10.3.3) and other apps to help find flight info, restaurants, etc.. I finally took my iPhone to my local Apple store in June of this year.

The tech I saw ran a diagnostic on my phone. One of the diagnostics showed how many charging cycles I'd done and that I only had 63% of battery usefulness/capacity left, even when fully charged... something I couldn't see myself to know that was the problem. The tech said I could either buy a new iPhone (I'm still considering buying an SE for several reasons, but haven't the cash right now) or replace the battery. The battery replacement would be $79 + sales tax and the Apple store could do it right then and there. I decided to investigate it a bit at home and learned an indy shop would likely charge about half what Apple does. So, I called 4 indy repair shops. The shop I went with charged me $32 + sales tax. The most expensive indy shop wanted $48 + sales tax. I could have bought all the necessary parts on Ebay and done it myself, but I was too worried of causing damage to my phone, because my eyesight isn't that great anymore. So, for the extra $10 or $20 dollars I paid, I figured it was worth sitting in the indy shop's waiting room for an hour (I actually went for a walk instead since it was gorgeous day) and letting someone more skilled than I do it for me. SO worth it! Having a new battery totally solved the slowness and random shut-down issues I was experiencing.

I haven't updated to iOS 11.x because I haven't got enough room in my iCloud storage account, and I can't afford to be without a phone, in case I run into any problems.

I also run a VPN on my phone to prevent snooping, etc. too. Yes, it eats up battery charge when it's running, but replacing the battery is much cheaper than buying a new phone.

Thanks for that. I still don’t like the idea of the CPU being throttled to get more life from the phone. I’d rather have a useful phone that works for 6 hours than a well lit, frustrating brick that goes all day. Besides that, in Australia, they won’t replace that battery. You only have the option of buying a refurb from my experience. I’m loathe to bring it to an eBay supplier smartphone bodgifier.

Try the following.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears.

This will reinitialize your phone and may resolve the issue.

Have completed this suggestion multiple times. It is not helping. Still slow!!! Can I back out of 11?

I'm sorry to be so blunt, but how does the router have anything to do with the phone performing slowly?

What happened to Apple QA? I haven’t upgraded to 11.02. Certainly won’t upgrade to 11.03.

I have updated to 11.0.3 and it is running better now, but still noticeably slower than with ios 10, the phone cannot handle even typing.

I am not happy about this.

Doesn’t help at all! Tried it several times!!!!!!

Try restarting your phone.

I too have the same problem with iOS 11. My iPhone 6 Plus is too slow after upgrading from 10 to 11.0.3. It is horrible. Looking for advise to downgrade the iOS version to 10.
