Please boost for reach. My dad and I both have iPhone SE second generation (2020) phones. For several months he has complained about intermittent sluggishness when doing just about anything involving a change of focus E.G. unlocking the phone and going to the Home screen, opening an app (whether it's already running or not), etc. Turning VoiceOver off and back on again usually fixes it temporarily, and so does restarting the phone. Sometimes making a change in some settings such as unpairing an old Apple Watch that he wasn't using would fix the problem, again temporarily. I hadn't experienced the problem until last night when it reared its ugly head on my phone. A restart of VoiceOver fixed it for me, and I thought I'd found the magic solution, only to have him tell me that's a very temporary fix. Both of us are totally blind, so we can't tell if the phone itself is slow to launch things, or if it's VoiceOver that's taking much longer than normal to react to changes on the screen. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, do you know of any solutions? Would getting an iPhone SE third generation fix it? What about resetting the phone and erasing all data, then restoring from iCloud? Thanks for any help.
@jaybird110127 My 13 gets this way after watching some types of videos in Safari. What fixes it is not touching the screen, at all, for 10 or 15 seconds, so the sound device will completely close. Then, when I start touching and swiping again, all will be normal.
@jaybird110127 I sadly don't have much for you, but if it started suddenly out of the blue, I'd try maybe checking battery health, maybe there's something funny going on. As a last resort, restore an affected device with ITunes or what have you and see if that fixes anything. If even that doesn't help, then it's likely a deeper issue perhaps with the hardware, but I really have no idea beyond that.
@jaybird110127 Have you tried using a different VoiceOver voice, to maybe see if it's a TTS thing? And/or running a memory and disk scanner app to clear the ram? (I don't have that specific device myself, but have used iOS in some form or other for years.
