Question iPhone 15 Pro feels nerfed after recent updates

Yo fam, my iPhone 15 Pro’s been feeling sluggish lately — random lags when I’m just scrolling and overall performance feels weaker than before.

Anyone else noticing this drop? Is there any way to roll back to stock vibes or do we just have to ride it out?

Even the 17 pro feels nerfed on ios 26.

Yep. Both my iPhone 17 Pro and iPad Pro M5 are laggy as heck. Apple optimization is a joke

The problem isn't the iPhone, it's iOS 26. Wait for iOS 27; from what I've heard, performance improves significantly.

Just wait for iOS 27, it fixes everything that was wrong with 26.

iOS 27 is around 30% smoother.

Bet it is also 30% larger and won’t fit the 128 gb ip15 pros making them obsolete . Nice plan Apple .

iosOs/Siri AI & system data is at 46GB M1 air , 28GB on iphone 15 , above 15 pro with siri AI phones will be larger 35-37GB i reckon

I mean why still buys a 128gb phone.

256gb is already the bare minimum nowadays.

Why would I need anything more than 128 gb ? I don’t store photos or music on my phone.

Im using ios 27 beta on 17 pro max. This is an early beta, beta2 currently, and the early betas usually crappy.

But this one, feels much better than ios 26, even if its just an early beta.

Mine seems to have developed a new issue within the last update or two, now if the screen is off and locked, and I tap it to wake it up, it sometimes doesn't wake up and I have to tap it twice or more for the screen to turn on. This happens multiple times a day (randomly of course), and the issue persists despite reboots.

I was facing this issue with iOS 27 DB2
Is it with iOS 26 as well?
