Where your phone with all your setting and apps feel slower.

This right here. Mods lock the thread. No further discussion needed.

Its called placebo effect.

While true in some cases it’s not in others. Just as rebooting can help with software issues so can a restore.

Because you aren't bringing junk over onto the fresh install. I have noticed a reduction of many GBs of storage after a fresh install. I do them at least once a year on all of my Apple devices. Since all my stuff lives in the clouds I can do all my devices in an afternoon. Most recommend setting up a new device as such as well, not using a backup to avoid issues and slowdowns.

My main issue with this is signing in to apps that don’t use iCloud Keychain.
