For context this was the first iPhone I have ever bought, it worked seamless : smooth, fast, no overheating and lag free.
Ever since I updated to iOS 17 I have been noticing weird lags, everything kinda feels like it has some sort of delay: typing, opening apps, locking the screen etc. Plus I have been noticing that my phone is getting hotter more usual than before when using apps such as Google Maps navigation or Spotify with my car connected to Bluetooth.
I joined the Apple camp expecting that everything “just works”, sadly it feels like an Android experience all over again, only with a greater price markup.

Why does finger burn when I touch the screen when charging
They want u to update , so ur phones slows down, then u buy the new one, GO BUY A NEW ONE NOW!
typing definitely feels more laggy to me. And I have also haptic feedback on on the keyboard and it feels slow… it vibrates but like…slower
Yes this 100%. I went back to typing on my Pixel 6 Pro yesterday, and the haptics are so snappy and responsive when I type on that keyboard, but on my 15PM, it feels slightly delayed, letters appear on the screen slightly delayed when pressing the keyboard and the haptic vibration is delayed a tiny bit.
Same with my 13 pro max. It is said that after an update, your phone will be more sluggish due to the phone settling and processing everything and then it should improve after a couple days but it seems to me it’s the other way around. Right after the update things seem fine and most of my phone running smooth and normal. Only after its been a few weeks and beyond that it begins with these bugs, glitches and performance drops. The only way i usually see most if not all problems go away is doing a factory reset. But having to do that after every update is obviously not ideal. Literally all other methods that I try either work temporarily or don’t work at all.
Install 17.1, surprisingly for me most lagging went away here
Interesting. My gf has an iPhone 13 Pro Max, same chip that’s in the regular 14 and she has zero issues on iOS 17.1. I don’t have any issues on iOS 17.1 either. Could be a bug on the 14.
Make sure you have the latest update iOS 17.1 because it includes a bunch of fixes. What version are you running? My phone did run a little hotter before 17.0.3 was released which fixed that issue. Also make sure you’re not low on storage that could also affect performance.
My iPhone Xs still works great with latest OS. Not all phones are created equal. Sometimes a phone just works great through lots of wear and tear and other times, one drop of the device will cause weird things to happen.
Typing is trash at moments. Make sure you’re on 17.1 and if you are, try using Gboard.
It’s not really a solution but it works
Apple mobile devices always experience a temporary drop in performance immediately after an OS update/upgrade while the operating system rebuilds caches and indexes, and downloads and installs app updates. Naturally, while the device is busy doing this, battery performance will also be impacted. This typically lasts from an hour or two to a day or two depending on the age and speed of the device and network bandwidth, after which performance returns to normal. The overwhelming majority of posts I see online complaining about iOS devices supposedly being slowed down or batteries draining abnormally fast by iOS updates are in this category.
Whenever Apple releases a major upgrade for older iOS devices, major new features and functionality are included, which means the device can do more things than it could before. And whether it’s a major upgrade or just an update, known security vulnerabilities are patched. Naturally new features come with a cost, and that cost is generally that the device must work a little harder to do the extra work. However, at the same time, Apple is always refining features to make devices work more efficiently.
For instance iOS 12 has been shown to be significantly faster than iOS 11 on the same device - even on very old devices:
And iOS 13 was even faster than iOS 12:
The same applied to iOS 15:

Even with older devices such as the first-generation iPhone SE, iOS 15 can be safely installed. Safari gets faster and the overall performance is not slowed down by the latest system.
The same goes for iOS 16:

And so on…
Typically, you can expect a major iOS upgrade to slow some operations down just a little bit, but also speed up some operations as well as add many new features you didn’t have before. On really old devices that are near end of life, the speed decreases may be more noticeable than on newer devices. But in general it all works out to a net benefit in real world use.
still on my 11 Pro from 2019, and after replacing the battery, it runs as new with the iOS17.
BUT iOS17 RUINED all my previous and new photos — they silently disabled EDR on photos taken with this phone for whatever reason…
Restart your phone and see if that helps. Base 14 as well, been running the 17 beta and official release with no issue. I’m on 17.1 and the only bug I’ve encountered is my status bar icons disappearing for a bit once, otherwise it’s buttery smooth.
I am in a 15 Pro Max, this is my first ever iPhone, I’m on IOS 17.1, compared to my Pixel 6 Pro, I notice keyboard lag the most. The keyboard doesn’t feel as responsive, the haptic feels delayed too when typing. But overall it’s decently quick, I have definitely noticed random hitches in the App Store though mainly
17.2 public beta is perfect. I’m running it on my iPhone 15 pro max, 15 Plus and iPad Pro. All very smooth. 17.2 has noticeably better battery life compared to the initial 17 public release, got better in 17.1 but 17.2 is really nice. Even has the new Journal stock app from Apple, which I have to say is very nice.
That is what many said about 17.1 RC then when stable got released: bugs
That’s apples way of telling you need to upgrade to 15 💀 jk
