My phone has been going really slow and I can’t read long articles because the page constantly refreshes and says there’s an error. Also I’ve noticed the last few days my phone is getting really hot. I did drop it in the toilet 1.5 years ago. So I think it never fully recovered from that. But I don’t know what’s wrong with it currently.
It’s an iPhone 7. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

Did you install new system recently? Or is it due to get installed? It might be time to get a new one?

I’ll have to see if it it needs an update. Usually I get notifications for that.
Yeah I’ve had a feeling for awhile I’ve needed a new phone and I’ve been putting it off for as long as I can because they are so expensive. My current one is from a family member. The one before that was an iPhone 6S from 2016 that I had for a few years. I don’t think they are supposed to last much longer than the warranty. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

I will need another iPhone just for technical stuff. Apps that don’t work with other phones and stuff like that. Plus I don’t want to lose my pictures. If there’s no danger I can hold off. It’s not currently hot. Just a bit warm at the top where the camera is.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

Another suggestion would be the basic one of clearing your browsers 'history' cache, if you haven't already. Might help the browser to run more smoothly. Also run a virus scan and see how that goes.

I hope this is ok to say ,if not admins delete please delete.
Even Apple is suffering under the pandemic, you can now buy a brand new device with no intrest monthly payments,if your like me hanging onto your limited money with no interest payments is a win win situation . You can do it on Apple's internet store .Apple also has a premiere on the 15th or 16th of March, we know new Ipads, ear buds, new IMacs with apples own processors and Air tags are coming , and possibly the 2021 iPhones also ,so waiting a couple weeks would be good ,if the newer device has something you want you can get it , or get a nice discount on last year's models . |
