Iphone x SLOW and LAGGY

i recently got my iphone x and im a little bit disappointed because the

device feels very laggy. a lot of times when switching between apps

, minimizing apps, and SPECIALLY scrolling down in safari , youtube, and even

in setting, you can see slow downs, lags, hangs, and low fps animations.

I tried reseting it 2 times and also restored it 2 times and but doesnt help.

I run some benchmarks with antutu and 3dmark and geekbench and results are fine -

like any other iphone x and even better.

Im running the latest 11.2.

Any ideas? thoughts?

I tried to restore the phone 3 times the normal way using itunes and it didnt help.

NOW, i tried restore using RECOVERY MODE and WOW it is finally

fast and almost no lag at all! big difference!

I just dont understand how come a device that just arrived from

factory is so slow, and why i need to wipe it and restore it in order to get

it work properly . very very strange.

I too have a really slow iPhone X, which my phone is so slow it does not even update my instagram post like my iPhone 6s did.

Help, I think I need to return?

hi, what's the difference between restore via DFU or RECOVERY MODE? My 8+ lag with 11.2 i don't know what i should do

Jan 14, 2018 1:19 PM in response to highdetalio

DFUmode puts your iPhone into a state where it can still communicate with iTunes on Windows or Mac, but it hasn't activated the boot loader or iOS, Recovery retains that content.

- contact hang and I can’t scroll up or down

Unbelievable. How did you figure this out lol? Mine is fast as ever now.

This really helped my iPhone X which was sometimes really slow and also my wife’s iPhone 8plus which was even slower even more often. Thanks for the tip!

Hello, I'm decided to buy an iPhone X i want to know the lag between switching in apps is due to ios or it's an issue due to less ram?

Aug 15, 2018 7:27 AM in response to Drorramat

Hi did this work for your iPhone because my iPhone X is laggy all the time when opening apps. And switching in between apps. And scrolling through stuff it’s so annoying it should be a fast phone

Walk into any Apple Store and try an iPhone X.

I find them just as fast as my own iPhone X, but if you find the demo iPhones slow, then your sense of what is fast or slow is different than mine.
