iPhone SE 2016 slowing down

I have the latest iOS on my 2016 iPhone SE. Lately, it has started showing signs of slowing down. Stumbling. Staggering. Its battery is in good shape. 100%, peak performance. There is not a load of Apps installed.


Please advice.

iPhone SE, iOS 14

Two basic troubleshooting steps:


A "forced" restart of your device, using these instructions:--> Force restart iPhone – Apple Support


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

I would try to install a fresh copy of iOS. To do this, create a full backup of your iPhone (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:

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

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