I’ve sometimes had bad luck with older phones that I’ve used a lot and put through the ringer. I’d say that getting the battery pack is good. You can also go to Settings - General - Reset All settings.

I’ve found this (for whatever reason) to really speed things up. I end up needing to change a few settings again and set my wallpaper but it seems almost as fast as a clean wipe.

Also do you have Background App Refresh enabled? Disabling that might help as well.

YYYYYEEEEEESSSSS!!!!! I can finally upgrade from my iPhone 5 and not feel guilty that I'm wasting money!!!

Honest question: Are there certain things you do to maintain it so that it stays running well for that long? Are there certain rules to how often you should charge it and stuff like that? I have an iPhone 5 and the battery life is HORRIBLE. I just recently caved and got a Mophie battery case for it. It would get about three or four hours on a full charge before I got the case. It's also super slow with everything and often crashes or restarts. Is it all just luck???
