\u201cupgrading\u201d your iPhone isn\u2019t possible without buying another one, it can be frustrating when your smartphone begins to slow down. So how do you know if it\u2019s the natural aging process or not, and what exactly can you do about it?<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Causes_a_Slow_iPhone\"><\/span>What Causes a Slow iPhone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A slow iPhone can be caused by a range of issues. The most obvious one is aging, a problem that will affect all smartphones eventually. Since newer iPhone models are faster, with more cores, better <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/702766\/what-is-a-gpu-graphics-processing-units-explained\/\">GPUs, and more RAM; the latest software is made with performant devices in mind rather than older hardware.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le will <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly support iPhones for around seven years from when the device was first manufactured. This covers software updates, but also service for items like batteries or replacement displays. Your iPhone will probably start to show its age well before then.<\/p>\n<p>For modern devices, performance problems may be due to software problems. This includes bugs in iOS, the iPhone\u2019s operating system, which may be patched out at a later date. This is why it is recommended that you update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS if you encounter problems.<\/p>\n<p>Hardware problems can also cause slowdown, which may be due to manufacturer error or physical damage. For example, batteries degrade as they age and some may get to a point where they cannot deliver adequate power without draining unacceptably fast<\/p>\n<p>Slowdown may present as long pauses, for example when unlocking your device. You may notice that your device is jerky and unresponsive, like when scrolling the home screen or a long web page. You may even encounter more crashes when doing more memory-intensive tasks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-774132\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/geekbench_ios.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Geekbench for iOS\" width=\"650\" height=\"487\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can benchmark your iPhone using a free app called <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/geekbench-5\/id1435082259\">Geekbench<\/a>.
