iPhone 5 running slow.

[Jason_E]

Okay so for no rhyme or reason my iPhone 5 has started running like a bag of dicks.

No apps in the background open, nothing new added to the phone. Its a 32gb, with a lot of free space left. I've tried completely clearing the inbox, doing a hard reset etc. Whats going on here?

This. I've still got an original 4 and it takes an age to do anything on it now. Will upgrade to a 5s when they come out to keep apple happy.

It's annoying that I have to restore a phone to factory settings when its less than a year old. Why pay £600 for a phone that runs like a £300 laptop from 5 years ago? "Oh yeah just format the drive and put XP on". JUST MAKE YOUR PHONES LIKE YOUR COMPUTERS FFS.

Trying the restore now, just backing up the pictures since I'll lose all of those. Really going to enjoy putting all the apps back and signing in to them etc.

Because Apple are c***s when it comes to backwards compatability with their OSes.

IIRC someone said the other day that Facebook (the main app) was slowing their phone down quite considerably, which doesn't surprise me as it's the worst coded thing in the world.
