A three year old iPhone (X) and an 2 year iPad Pro (11")
While the iPP was still going strong, the iPhone seemed to be showing it's age.
Random slowdowns, delayed responsiveness and what not.
After upgrading my laptop to the M1, that latency/slowness started feeling even more unbearable. To the extent that I almost pulled the trigger on a new iPhone 12 today.
On a whim, I took a pause before confirming the payment and decided to reset said iPhone.
Lo, behold - 1 hour later after all the data/app restoration was done - the phone feels as fast as my wife's iPhone 11 PM .
Other than the 30 mins spent on the exercise - and probably another 15 on restoring credentials for banking apps- there isn't much in terms of data loss / restoration either.
This should now confortably last me another year, if not two.
Based on this experience, I decided to reset the iPad too - and while the perf improvement is not a pronounced (considering it was not laggy to begin with) but there is a distinct boost to that subjective snappiness.
It's probably common knowledge - but Just thought it's still worth sharing.
