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.
My iPhone 6s is also running slow to the point where the phone is useless...
Have you heard anything back regarding a fix? other than purchasing an X
Same here.
I switch back to iOS 10
The properties that comes with iOS 11 is no magic!
It is a disaster!
reset your settings. that helped me
THE SCREEN is damaged!! You must buy a new Screen !!
I Had that problem W an Iphone 6 plus and It was the screen... or if U wanna Downgrade the Phone ...
I have to believe that there is a difference between the phones and the iPods..... Apple admitted that they slowed the phones down.
I have a 6 and it has been a disaster for me too. The keyboard is terrible, Siri doesn't respond fast enough to even be handy, bluetooth having issues, wifi slow, phone locks up, calls with one way audio, all apps slow to open and terrible battery life. Seems every day that goes by I find something else that doesn't work. Seems with every update the phone has become less and less functional. A pretty good argument not to have an Apple product.
IDK but now I'm glad Apple decided to stop upgrading my 2 year old iPad Gen4! It'll be stuck in iOS 10 land forever! As for all this with it being outdated so quickly and this MAJOR pain in the butt issue with my iPhone 6 Plus, I'm seriously considering going back to Android... I thought I'd NEVER say that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My old waaaay outdated HTC Desire is actually running better and faster than my iPhone 6 Plus!😠 AND I'm using less than 1/3 of my 64 GB!??? Seriously thinking of going back to Android! Samsung 8 has an amazing camera that looks to be as good if not better quality than ALL iPhones. I am a photographer BTW!
Same issue on my iPhone 6. It was a GREAT phone prior to the update to 11.0.x and now I want to basically throw it out of the window. It's unbelievable how long it takes to fire up the Outlook app (my preferred email reading app) or even listen to a voice mail. I am still in shock. I wonder whether I can roll back to the prior OS?
IOS 11.0.3 ruined my iPhone 6 ! The phone was working great and fine before the update. Please get it fix ! More and more Apple user is switching to android. Y’all should wake up and work ! Dun give us sxxt updates !
Apple is breaking our devices. Just like my Mac starts up slowly after updating to macOS High Sierra and my iPhone is as good as dead - it was slow when I got iOS 10 but after the iOS 11 update - the control center comes up after about 10 seconds. I am using an iPhone 6S Plus.
You know, i used to think that was nonsense, but i'm actually starting to change my mind now since this horrific update that's totally screwed up our iPhones. Why haven't Apple issued a software download fix when they know this has broken so many peoples devices?! It's totally criminal in my opinion considering how much we pay for our phones!
I never, ever post to comment boards, but my iPhone 6 has turned into a piece of crap since installing 11.0.3. SUPER slow; battery life is a few hours; freezes all the time. This is a massive bummer. I even wiped my phone and restored it from backup, to no avail.
The best phone is now the worst phone. The lag is unbearable. The touch is completely off. My battery drains before noon. Heads will roll for this one. How are you going to ruin the iPhone. Steve Jobs is literally turning over in his grave.
Already wrote one long post but put mt gripes in wrong place. Apple gave topics to choose from... updates and troubleshooting not on there👥.
So, gist is 11.0 e has just about rendered my 6 Plus useless. So many bugs... I don't know if they were drunk as monkeys, too high or got sabotaged.
BOTTOM LINE: I'm 65, on oxygen 24/7, need dbl lung transplant...(you get 2 hr or less notice to get to hosp), have cable phone that goes out... this phone has been my lifeline. ATT & Apple... they've never given me one minutes problem. Dependable.
Is there anyway to remove 11.0 update and go back to 10 Or less? My asst. worked at Apple for 2 yrs... she's bumfuzzled! *** Apple? You think $900. Grows on trees so why not hire unqualified QC ppl from Russia? Determined to intercept our communications? Get it fixed... your consumer base is dwindling!
my iphone 6s is running very slow after ios 11.0.3
