    Hello guys,

    I recently upgraded to iOS 11.2.1 and have nothing but issues since.

    The problems are mainly that the phone has slowed down ridiculously, apps aren’t launching properly, apps are crashing when they do load, and the battery performance seems to have have taken a big hit too. Everything is up to date as far as I can see.

    I was thinking it may be due to lack of space or something on the phone, but there’s about 25gb available and very little rubbish loaded on it.

    Is it a common issue? Can something be done about it? Or is it just that the phone is getting too old to run what’s needed?

    Thanks guys. :)

    Apple just admitted to purposefully slowing down the phone.

    have a read here: https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-slows-down-older-iphone-battery-issues/#ftag=CAD-09-10aai5b

    basically they want you to go out and splash 1000 on their new iphone

    Change the battery, the new battery management software in iOS slows down older phones with old batteries

    Contact Apple you may be entitled to a replacement. There were widespread faulty battery issues with the 6s. Had mine replaced last summer. The power throttling noted above was introduced to address this problem. Otherwise your phone will shutdown randomly.

    I actually got that done myself this time last year. Posted a bit about it in the “phone dying with high battery” thread at the time. I had a lot of hassle initially but got it escalated and sorted after the escalation.

    All had been perfect and running smoothly until I updated last week, but I may have to get back onto them again.
