iPhone 14 Pro Max constant lags

iPhone 14 Pro Max constant lags

On the first day of using my 14 PM, I noticed lags in the UI animations, but after updating to 17.4 it became way worse.

It usually happens when I quit apps like youtube, telegram or chrome, some animations can just stutter for a moment or the phone can drop the frame rate, esp when I swipe an app into the dynamic island.

The same problem is happening within scrolling as well. In the weather app, apple music or shortcuts it happens regularly.

My memory is almost fully clear, I tried restarting and restoring my phone, but the problem goes away just temporarily.

Recently I downloaded some performance checking apps, and the phone seemed to be running out of free RAM. iPhones usually have great RAM management, but there is probably something going wrong with this particular model. Promotion display does not cause it, bc when the memory isn’t clogged, all the animations run smoothly as they should.

Considering how many people encountered this issue and didn’t find a solution, my situation is hopeless, but is there at least ANY chance to fix it?

Two basic troubleshooting steps to perform (test after each attempt):

A) Try a "forced" restart of your device using these instructions: Put it on charge for at least half an hour, then, keeping it plugged in, use these gestures:

In rapid sequence, press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side (power) button. Only when the Apple logo appears (it might take 10-20 seconds), release that button (ignore all other screens that might appear, the one with the "slider" to turn the device off included).

B) If the issue persists, something could have gone wrong during the latest update procedure.

I would try to install a fresh copy of iOS/iPadOS (the latest available/supported by your device model). To do this, create a full backup of your iPhone/iPad (1), then restore it to factory settings (you need a computer to perform this step) and, in the end, set it up as new (2).

When done, restore data from your previously made backup (3).

Follow the instructions provided in these support articles:

(1) How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch – Apple Support

(2) Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support

(3) Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup

If the issue still persists, since your iPhone is covered by warranty, I suggest that you contact Apple Support directly, using this link:--> Contact Apple for support and service , or make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> https://locate.apple.com/choose-country-region . After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.

For stable performance on iOS 17 you need iPhone with 8gb ram or 12gb ram.
