Why is my IPhone 4s Lagging? How do I fix it?

I've had my iPhone 4s since the beginning of may and I like it a lot. Latley I've noticed a lag. I know this is not normal, because I took my moms iPhone 4s(purchased at the same time as mine, but her has an otterbox commuter case and mine has a lifeproof), and did some speed comparisons… There was definitely a difference… For those of you that are going to answer by saying that the iPhone sucks and talk about why you think android is better… Just don't answer… I'm happy with my phone and just want it back to its original speed.

Well, if it is jailbroken then that lags it a lot, if it isn't then you might have way too many apps running in the background… Also try updating iOS etc. And if it is still bad and you did all that, restore it in iTunes. If none of that works, it might actually be a hardware problem and you might need to take it in to the store.

  • Why is my iphone 5 lagging for everything? I got my iphone the 3 days ago and a day after it started lagging/delaying every 5 seconds when i hit buttons or am typing. It lags for everything i do even going through settings. I haven't hooked it up to itunes but i reset it and its lagging the same way.before it started lagging i dropped it a foot and it got a tiny mark on the corner of the body, but if that was the problem it would be ridiculous, please help with advice or knowledge on the issue thanks.

  • New iphone 5 keeps lagging and glitching? I got an iPhone 5 16gb just less than one month ago and it is very slow and it glitches a lot.

I don't want to reset it all as I have stuff on here that I can't lose.
  • Netflix is lagging, what to do? I've watched Netflix just fine on this computer for about a year now with this internet speed and same company. I can watch it fine on my iPhone as well… Haven't changed any settings on my computer and in fact restored it to factory condition it was so annoying. Does anyone know what is going on?
