Is anyone else here seeing significant lagging with the latest IOS on their IPhones? My phone used to always run smoothly, but not any more!

Any suggestions on how to get it back running smoothly? TIA
 
Get an android

Because I’ve been using IPhones since I had my first smartphone in 2009, I’m sort of stuck unfortunately.
I’m in the same boat. I know it’s partly psychological. Good Android can do what iOS does and sometimes more I’ve heard. But I’m resistant to change. My GF makes fun of me as an iPhone user, but I can take it. It’s not like I’m still rocking an iPod in the car. 😏

Which iPhone do you have? Did you download the latest IOS and are you noticing any lagging? I’m still using a mini-12 and that may be a problem although it wasn’t before this latest iOS download.

Got a 13 Pro Max. I don't install latest iOS, usually do it every 6 months. No issues lately.

Sounds like it could be an issue with the combo of latest iOS/older phone, but I am definitely deferring to experts on that one. (I knew a little back in the day, but it's been a decade or so, lol)

- I just checked my battery health and it’s at only 73% of max capacity. Now that I know that, I’m suspecting my low battery is the likely culprit for my sluggishness, despite it being charged, that was worsened by my iOS 26.3 upgrade download.

-My battery more often overheats now while charging. So, I’ll get message saying it has to stop charging until it cools down. I suspect this is due to 73% battery.

-Battery isn’t Apple.

-I also see that there’s a 26.3.1 update available to fix bugs. So, I may do that shortly to see if that helps. But regardless, my battery will need to be replaced soon unless I just bite the bullet and get a new iPhone instead of wasting battery $ on an old phone.

Yea, I'd definitely try the update first.

With that in mind...ya might just wanna replace the phone. Back in the day, an upgrade meant getting the latest version (believe we're up to 17 now), but you could probably go to a company owned store and get a "new" iPhone that's 14 or 15. Likely no hassle besides hearing the usual sales pitch about the latest and greatest, but I bet you can steer them away from that. Hopefully can keep the same plan.

Actually you don't even have to go to the store anymore...I got my now "old" 13 Pro Max ordering online and got it within 2 business days. Think I got the previous one that way too.
 
I was watching an old home video from the '90s of me playing soccer and I noticed the date was April 1st and everything was greened up fully in Gwinnett County, GA. The ones talking about how rare it is for things to be Greening up must have short memories.

Do you know which year?

Yeah my parents have told me before it was very warm in Feb '94 for their wedding.

I think the colder periods date to the 70s and 80s really (and even then I was told at Christmas that there was times where it was shorts weather in the far north in GA during Christmas decades ago). I haven't done it as much anymore, but for the coldest/most interesting periods that I've looked at from the late 80's to early 00's (as in, a winter storm managed to affect my current general area), you have to go....

1988

1992

1996? (I think?)

2000 (didn't stay around sadly but Bush Field recorded a little over 4" before it changed over)

2002

And then a long gap of 8 years involving snow, even if you consider ice, 5 or 6 years.
