[Electronics-Talk] IPhone is Lagging

[Chip Orange]

In addition to Christopher's good analysis, I'd also ask if there were any BARD or Audible books being downloaded in the background?  Music or other downloads happening?  A GPS type app running in the background?

Turning off the background refresh will prevent all this, so it would not be my choice for the way to solve this, as I like to be able to have things happen in the background.

Just FYI, there are two lists I know of for IOS devices for the visually impaired: IDevices and VIPhone.

I don't see that you have nearly enough information to jump to this 
conclusion. When I'm debugging a problem or supporting someone, I never 
just assume I know what there problem is. Instead of jumping to 
conclusions, I ask questions first to get more information so I can at 
least make an educated guess.

For example, in this case, the first thing I'd ask is do you have your 
apps set to update automatically. This is a very CPU intensive 
operation, and if you're trying to use your phone while apps are being 
updated, then it'll definitely seem sluggish. I'd suggest turning off 
this setting, if you have it turned on, and see if your performance 
improves.

The next question I'd ask is how many apps do you have open at any one 
time. IOS is pretty good about managing resources for running apps, so 
this generally isn't a problem, but it can be if you have a lot of apps 
open or the apps you do have open are constantly busy. Many apps, 
although you'll see them in your App Switcher, aren't relay doing 
anything or taking up any resources. I'd assume that this isn't the 
problem in this case since River has already said they've powered the 
phone off and on, so I bet they cleared out the App Switcher as part of 
this process, but it would be on the list of things to ask and check out.
