My iPhone 15 pro has a ton of storage remaining yet it still lags or buffers when I attempt to watch a video and that’s just one of the many issuse this phone has . I have Apple phones for 15 years and have generally had good success but the last phone which was an iPhone 12 and this phone the iPhone 15 Pro have been the worst phones I’ve ever owned I honestly could go down to the store and purchase a phone for $50 and it would be a better phone and more productive than this phone

If you have not updated your iPhone, first update to the latest iOS 17 version. Otherwise,


  1. Restart your iPhone
  2. Remove all apps running in the background
  3. Delete unnecessary apps and large files
  4. If nothing works, factory reset your iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings.


I hope the solution helps
