Why is my iPhone 4s so slow?

Ever since the new ios7 update my iPhone 4s has been incredibly slow. Apps take up to a minute to open and my iPhone doesn't always respond when I press the round button to wake it up. Is there a way you can do a defrag like you can on a computer?
Thanks

Defrag is not needed.  What's needed is to go through the basic troubleshooting steps, in order, that are outlined in the user guide:  restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

    Why is my iphone 4 SO slow updating!!!???

    How much free space do you have?  When was the last time you restarted the phone (Home & Sleep buttons held together)?    Have you cleaned out unused apps?
    All of these will diminish performance of your phone.  

  • Why is my iphone 3g running slow?

    My antiquated iphone 3g is running apps very, very slow.  Is there help for this or am I stuck until I can buy a new phone?

    are you up to date with the siftware?
    do you have a lot of memory left?
    have you tried a hard reset? a reset network settings? a restore?
    all can be done to try to resolve the issue, try those first before giving up

  • Why is my iPhone 3gs getting slower?

    I have an iPhone 3GS 32GB, and it is about 2/3 filled with music, photos, contacts, apps, etc.
    In the last few months the device has been getting slower - examples are:
    - keyboard strokes take up to 2 seconds until they are reflected on the UI.
    - screen swap by 90 degrees takes up to 4 seconds to be made.
    - opening the iphone settings menu shows an empty grey screen for 3 seconds, and then the menu icons start to appear.
    it's a hassle.
    any help out of this?
    thanks!

    Restore iPhone as New. Allow iTunes to Back up your iPhone when you begin. But Restore iPhone as New. Then after iTunes is completely done. You can go back later and put your contacts and everything back by Restoring From Backup.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 get slower with every update? (iPod app special)

    When i tab ipod and then movies i almost have to wait longer than with my old iPhone 3G. And it get worst with every update. ***? I am thinking about downdating to 3.something then my iPhone 4 was really quick.

    Here is my update on this issue. This isn't normal. I spoke to several tech support people, sr tech support people, etc and we found out that somehow my battery was damaged during the update. They found this out by sending me a diagnostic file via sms. I was sent into the apple store to replace my phone. I had it a little under a year, with 40 days left on my warranty. When I went to the store I was able to show the rep at the store the issue described in this thread. He just scratched his head. It was a quick swap. I spent a lot of time trying to fix this issue. I tried everything. Removing itunes_control files, several restores, starting from scratch. I could duplicate the issue every time. It's a bug and I'm sure it will be addressed. If you are still under warranty, I would recommend getting it checked by an apple tech to see if it messed up your battery and perhaps get it replaced. Battery issues on these devices cause lots of problems.

    A new phone is supposed to be exciting and having to worry about your data usage should not be one of the things on the list. We'd be happy to go over some steps to see what could be causing this usage. You mentioned that the data usage was the same with the 5C so we want to check your usage habits. We do have a new tool that allows you to check to see what the data is being used for on your account. It is called the Data Utilization tool and the great thing about it is that you can access it directly from your My Verizon account online. You can check the information here http://vz.to/1x0qGoh on how to access it.

    Why is my iPhone 3G so slow. I deleted all pics and messages but it's still slow. When answering a call the slider bar won't move, it takes about 3 or 4 attempts. HELP! It's driving me insane.

    Have you done any of the basic troubleshooting steps discussed in the User Guide?
    Restart
    Restet
    Restore in iTunes with a backup
    Restore in iTunes as new, without a backup

    Hello jagimc,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:

    Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected
    Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
    Best of luck,

    why is the iphone 3G 4.2.1 so slow? after ios 4 on iphone 3G i don't want this phone anymore. So disapointed about apple!!!

    First try Resetting it: hold down the home and sleep buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.
    If that does not work Restore your iPhone in iTunes.

  • Question: why is my computer booting up slow? can the battery have anything to do with it?

    why is my computer booting up slow,can the battery have anything to do with it?

    Hi tecknik!
    I'm so sorry for any trouble with calls and messages! I know how important it is to have a properly working phone. Which iPhone do you have? Please reset the network settings: settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Once that is done, please monitor the device and see if that corrects the issue. What is your zip code?
    I'm anxioud to get to the bottom of this for you!

  • Do I have go keep the music on iTunes once I have it on my iPhone as its slowing down my computer

    Do I have go keep the music on iTunes once I have it on my iPhone as its slowing down my computer

    Realistically, yes.
    If you delete the music from your iTunes, you will have to use Manually Manage for your phone in the future because a Sync will attempt to remove songs that you have removed from iTunes.
    More importantly, if you ever need to Restore your phone, only media in your iTunes Library will be added to your phone. So if you delete the computer's Library, you will have lost all your music. There are several discussions in this forum from people who have done this and have now lost all their music.
    There is no specific reason why the iTunes Library should slow down your computer. Are you sure it isn't something else that is causing the problem?

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep loosing it's ability to download emails or connect to the Internet?  I can power it off at when I restart I can send and receive but after awhile all I get is it trying to connect.

    Why does my iPhone 4 keep loosing it's connection to download emails or go onto safari?  If I power down the phone and restart it then it will connect but shortly after it will loose the connection and then just shows connecting in email or in safari unable to connect to the Internet 

    I'm guessing it's more likely a problem with your carrier's 3G network in the area. You shouldn't have to modify any settings for 3G to work consistently on a supported carrier.
    You can try turning off 3G data, with will switch over to Edge if it exists. If it does, it will be much slower than 3G, but I suppose faster than 0 is better than 0.
    I'd contact your carrier about it.
