I recently got my iphone x and i was a little bit disappointed because the
device felt very laggy compared to other iphone x's.

A lot of times when switching between apps minimizing apps, scrolling down in safari , youtube, and even in setting, you could see slow downs, lags, hangs, and low fps animations.

I tried reseting it 2 times and also restored it 2 times with itunes and but it didnt help.

it was strange because i got great scores with benchmarks like antutu and 3dmark which means the device
is basically fine.

SOOOO Now i tried to restore it using recovery mode and not with the regular itunes button and guess what ? WOW ! everything is smooth fast and great like it should be!!!


I just dont understand how a device that just arrived from factory is so slow
and why i need to wipe it and restore it in order to get it work properly??????
very very strange!!!

What do you think? maybe the "deeper" restore through recovery mode fixed it?
should i be worried?
 
Why would you be worried if it’s working fine now? If it starts to act up again, then you can deal with it. Enjoy your new phone!
