How to know if our iPhone is slower
One of the fastest and safest ways to know if our iPhone is slower than usual is through paid applications such as GeekBench either DasherX CPU, although we can also resort to specialized web portals to find out if our Apple terminal performs below expectations, for free and as long as we have a iPhone 6s or higher models.
Is about SlowApple; Thus, if we view said website from our iPhone we can carry out a complete speed test completely free of charge, thus offering us a series of results that will tell us whether or not our terminal is affected by some type of software limitation. Of course, if we have activated energy saving mode on the iPhone, we must deactivate it before the test. Once we have started the test using the GO virtual button and it takes less than 8 seconds, our terminal works well; On the other hand, if the test exceeds 8 seconds, our iPhone suffers from some type of slowdown.

If we no longer enjoy the warranty period, the replacement will cost us 89 euros. Although if we are sufficiently “handy” and dare to do it ourselves, we can resort to one of these battery repair kits.
