iPhone 6 -- issues? Move to iOS11?

[147798]

I have an iPhone 6 with 10.3.3.

I have had issues w/this phone since day 1, but don't really have the money to replace it.

It has been laggy, screen freezes. Sometimes the actual phone app just won't open (I get a blank screen with a red hang-up button, but no dial pad -- I have to dump the app from memory and restart it). Camera randomly takes forever to load.

Geekbench 4 is consistently testing this iPhone CPU single core around 1050. I've seen other GB4 testing that should put the iPhone 6 at 1200+ (I've even seen one test to 1400).

I was thinking of rebuilding the phone, but that will load iOS11. I could, of course, just wipe data and content to keep 10.3.3, but I am wondering if there's something wrong with the iOS install.

Not sure the best course. Anyone think that CPU benchmark of 1050 is way too low? Would a new iOS install help anything, or given that score, just make it worse?

(or maybe it's time to setup a Genius Bar visit and see if I can finagle an exchange?? The audio jack is crackly, so that might help elevate the idea of a swap-out, or maybe a healthy credit to a new phone?)

I would start with a fresh install of iOS to see how it goes. I can't say if it's worth staying on 10.3.3 or going to 11.2.

Do a fresh install of iOS 11. At some point, you have to go to 11, anyway.

i regretted going to ios 10 on my ip6 , because of the exact same problems you are having. i will not make the same mistake with ios11.

I'm having a number of issues with my iP6. I called Apple, and the first item on their tree is move to iOS11. I guess I'm going to do that, just to be able to get them to look at any other issues.
