IPhone 5 is lagging

I got my iPhone 5 a month and a half ago. It was working perfectly until just this week. I noticed it when I was playing a game (Subway Surfer) when the phone didn't respond to my swipe motions. This is unusual, because I originally found the iPhone 5 very responsive (much more than my old 3GS). However, now my swipes lag with every game I play. Also, it lags in telling me my battery life. For an entire day, I will have 84% battery life, the number never changing, when all of a sudden, the number will instantly change at the end of the day to 3%. It's really weird! My phone also lags to recognize that a charger was plugged in (it took a full minute to recognize my charger). Occasionally I won't get all my texts and calls, but I think that's a problem with AT&T. I've never dropped my phone, and I don't have apps running in the background. I don't know what to do!

do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

HT4528 My new iPhone has a lag time before it turns on? I need to make an appt with Tysons to get it repaired.

My new iphone has a lag time before it turns on. I think it may need to go into Tysons for support. Do you have any other options for me?

What exactly do you mean by lag time when tutned on? If you startup from a shutoff condition you have to hold the power button for a few seconds before the startup sequence begins...and then the apple logo will stay on-screen for a minute or so as it powers up.
If you are talking about waking from sleep, how long is this taking?
If you are concerned, by all means take it in for testing...but Apple does not repair iPhones, they replace them if defective.

KEYBOARD LAG: My iPhone's keyboard lags.

Especially when I am texting and entering information in Safari, my (Black 16GB 3G) iPhone's keyboard lags. Sometimes it misses a letter or it takes a couple seconds to do something. And usually all the sudden everything is erased or for example I get something like: apppppppppppppppppppple. It's a pain, but on some things, like entering contacts, it doesn't happen.
What should I do? Do I just have to live with it; is this something that every single iPhone has, or do I need a replacement. (And don't say I need to restore because I've already done that four times for different reasons, and this lag has been going on throughout.)

I'll be calling Apple tomorrow, and let you know what I hear.
As for low memory, that could mean RAM, which might mean you have a lot going on at once... I guess if some Apps run in the background. Most likely it just means you have many songs, videos, apps, etc. You can check how much space you have by clicking settings, general, about and look at what it says next to available. Also, after the iPhone is formatted, there is only 14.6 GB available.

My iPhone 3gs is lagging and searching for signal all the time. Help!!

Well, my phones like 3 years old...and latley it's been lagging, turning it's self off, not sending my messages, when I call other people it doesn't go through, and if it does they can barly hear me. I thought it was my sim card so I got a new one and it's not. Then My phone is almost always looking for signal evem in places I always have it. Which needless to say is draining my battery pretty bad. If anyone has any information on what I can do please help. I'm getting a new Iphone when the new one comes out, but i just want help on how to make this one useful for now.

Try restore your phone back to factory setting through itunes. if that doesnt work or even before that call your service provider since they provide the network they will have some steps to try. if those fall then its hardware most likely

IPhone 6 stutters/lags when it vibrates

I got my brand new iPhone 6 about 2 weeks ago and noticed that - specifically when I'm playing a game - there is a 1-2 second lag whenever I receive a notification and it vibrates. When the notification is silent (such as Instagram) it runs smooth. Anyone else having the same issue? I've got an iPhone 6 running the latest OS update.

Unfortunately the problem came back and is now even worse.
It comes and goes but the biggest problem seems to be in Safari. So far it has taken me about three minutes to write the two first sentences... However the last sentence took just a few seconds an now it's working properly again...
What can be wrong?

Iphone 4S Imessage Lag.

Hello,
I do not have a lot of time, so if this been asked again I do apologise.
One of my questions was about sync/back up and restore but thanks to Allan, all is answered.
Question I have right now is, why 2-3 days into using my Iphone 4s (16gb, Vodafone, had it for nearly 2 weeks now) all of a sudden Siri stopped working - She kept saying something on the lines of sorry, this is unexpected, i cannot help you right now. I would try to send any messages they wouldnt go through and just get stuck on imessage and wouldnt allow me to send as SMS only copy option available - only few hours later, after a phone call, i got a massive push of messages, mainly from my partner who is also using Iphone 4s but on Orange.
Since than, everyday my iphone, if left in standby longer than 5 min, later collects all messages I get, and pushes them 30-60minutes later in one go. Or if i send a imessage, or make a phone call or use internet, only then i receive the messages. While i use messanging everything seems to be fine.. like Iphone4s antenna goes to sleep mode or something if I dont.
My iphones battery life is as bad as my 3gs was, which mean.. it just gets me from 12 to 20-00 with 30% left - although i am bit heavy on messaging with my
partner and her battery life isnt much better.
Frankly, I dont really care about battery as long as it can just about last a working day, I have plenty of chargers at home, charge overnight, and about to buy a charger in car - and i spend a lot of time in the car so battery is not my concern. What does annoy me is this silly message delay - this problem I never had whilst using my 3GS on the same 5.0.1 OS.
Can this be fixed somehow? I tried multiple restores. Only thing left to try is having phone restored to new - just need to write down notes, as some information very important.
Shall i give up and take it back to vodafone and ask for replacement, or take it to apple for diagnostics?
Please advise.
Kind regards
Igor

Also, I noticed the same lag with iMessages while I am on home wifi :/ so perhaps it's a hardware problem?

My iPhone 5s is lagging and unresponsive at times, how to fix this problem?

Hi, I am currently using 5s and I noticed that these past few days, my iPhone 5s keeps on freezing, lagging, delaying and sometimes unresponsive in opening music, texting, photo streaming and in some applications. I restarted it for so many times yet it is still in the same state. I had 4s and 5 before, but I never encountered this very annoying delay. My 5s is original and I'm sure about that. What am I supposed to do to fix this? Is it because of the new software update? Its seriously killing and annoying the **** out of me. Its been like this for a week and Its ******* me off. Thank you!

TROUBLESHOOTING
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears then let go.
Backup, reset, restore on icloud or iTunes or restore as new.
Place the phone into recovery mode by doing this
If this fails to fix the problem make an appointment and visit and Apple store or an authorised service provider

IPhone 5S : Icons lags

Hi everybody,
So when I open a app (games, apps or stock apps) and then I back on the home screen, I have the little animation lag..
It's like iOS 7 wasn't optimized for 5S, it's really annoying !
Obviously I restored my iPhone as a "New iPhone" but no change
Aside from that, everything is smooth and fast, I don't understand !

Edit : It's not this bug = https://discussions.apple.com/message/23085837#23085837

Why does my iPhone become so lag and slow after downloading iOS 8?

My iPhone 5S and iPad Mini Retina Display become so lag after after downloading iOS 8. When i open an app or press any button, it response very slow. For instance, opening a Facebook app take about 30s for it to load, answering a phone call take half a seconds to response. Not only that, my iPad keep restarting when I am FaceTime-ing about 3 minutes. This update has got me so frustrated! It is so unstable!

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

IPhone 4s Distinctive lag on home button-wake up

Hi so I've got an iPhone 4s recently. This is my second iPhone 4s and I have plenty of apple products (Macbook, iphone 3g, 3gs, ipod touch first gen, second gen) . I've exchanged my first iPhone 4s because of a few bugs on it. I.E. Heating up randomly, home button lags upon waking up, loss of signal randomly when compared to another iPhone 4s in the same area which has service. So upon getting my second iPhone 4s it still has the same distinctive lag. I know for a fact that this isn't normal for an iPhone 4s. It doesn't occur if I use my iPhone but if I let it sit for about a minute or two and then I try turning it on it lags for a good second. The "Slide to Unlock" light also begins to jump around before returning back to the original scrolling across. I've spoken to to genius bar and they have no solution for me. I was wondering if anyone is as disappointed as I am and perhaps know of a solution? The turning off of the triple click did not help me because it wasn't on to begin with. I've turned it on and turned it off and it still isn't fixed. This bug has been with me from 5.0 iOS and 5.01 iOS. I've done hard resets, reset all settings, set up as a new iphone, and restore from back up which all failed to fix this annoying bug. Any help is much appreciated.

@icassasl
i did not have the problem on my iphone3gs so apparently it has nothing to do with how fast a device is.
i however switched from 3gs to 4 and restored a backup.
may there is something wrong with this.
did you have this problem out of the box or did you also do restore from a previous backup.
i hooked up my 4
told itunes to use it as a current evice and did a restore from the 3gs backup
after that i got an upgradee to upgrade the os (my 3gs was allready on ios5)
after this everything was the same.
maybe i should try again a restore but first do a total reset to erase the phone so it starts fresh with ios5.0.1
then again the problem might still be in the back.

My iPhone 4S has lag on iOS 7 what do I do?

Just upgraded my iPhone 4S with ios7 and now I have serious lag on texting anything. Is there a known solution for this? Thanks

Hi Chubbs71,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you're seeing some delays when typing in the Messages app, try closing the Messages app (or all apps), and restarting/resetting:
iOS: Force an app to close

IPhone 6 Plus lags when texting

My iPhone 6 Plus is extremely laggy when texting. Doesn't matter if it's in Mail, Messages, Safari or any other App.
What can be wrong? My iPhone 4S with the same iOS works like a charm...

Unfortunately the problem came back and is now even worse.
It comes and goes but the biggest problem seems to be in Safari. So far it has taken me about three minutes to write the two first sentences... However the last sentence took just a few seconds an now it's working properly again...

Iphone keyboard issues lag when typing

Issue with typing on keyboard on the iphone 5 with ISO 7 installed

Thank you so much, I was having this problem with a replacement Iphone 5 that was purchased from Apple today with iOS7 installed. I had no idea why this was happening as it didn't happen to my original iphone 5 when I installed iOS7.
Turning off documents and data in iCloud solved it straightaway. Really pleased, you saved me another trip to the genius bar!!
