Lol, indeed... if you feel the need to say it - it may not be true. Likewise I have not seen this with my X, huge step up from 6S+

When I had the X, it was anything but slow. Maybe try a complete reset, and set up as new. When ever I buy a new phone, or computer or do a major OS update, I always reformat/hard reset after the first boot, and usually set up as new. It’s always worked for me.
I really don't know what slow as hell is like, but I can say, opening an app on the X was no faster than on my 5S.
I got one today, I feel speed is ok but I am going to return this garbage, too big, to expensive and too heavy. I got it because my iPhone 5 just broke, but at $1000 this thing is pure garbage. I can spend that money in more important things, not on this garbage.
Sounds like a personal problem.
My X is as fast as a buttered sea lion down a helta skelta.
I found the note 8 to be like a dog. I'd have to set an alarm at 4am to switch the note 8 on so that by the time I woke at 7am it would be nearly ready to read the news.
Also I'd have to get people to email me the day before to book a time to phone me so I had it ready to receive calls.
When I took a photo I'd press the shutter button then write to the person who wanted their photo taken asking them to come over. Usually when they arrived, there was not much of a wait before the shutter opened.

not really, raise to wake swipe im in. its so much faster than touchid imo [and i have a iPhone 6s plus next to me and and accustomed to both touchid and faceid interchangably].
well what else do you find slow? obviously the screen is a new ratio entirely so give it abit of time then it will be slick, but i find it personally snappy fast and quick already. how much more faster do you want? [iPhones tend to have smoother animations if u ask me]

Could you possibly have a defective one? Does this happen just on cellular? Wifi? Mine is very fast and smooth.
Careful dude. I got a temp ban for saying same about another person’s post.
Haha. Wut?
If this is for real, check some YouTube videos. Even neutral Android/Apple folks talk about how fast the X is.
That's great that you can make a justification to return an iPhone that doesn't meet your expectations, but if you're only complains that "It's too big, too expensive and too heavy", I would say the iPhone X is overall successful for the majority based on your three complaints alone.
Don’t know about the speed. It seemed pretty much close to the note 8 when I compared it a few days ago.
However Iva had problems with the phone randomly rebooting once a day :/
Reading your post, I’d say you never actually had an X. When I went from my 5 to my 6S it was a huge difference in performance. Now that I have an X, it is definitely a jump in performance again.. Going from a 5 to an X would be a huge difference in every way
I’m wondering if the OP got confused and actually spent $1000 on a second hand vacuum cleaner instead of an iPhone X.

Seriously my phone does the SAME lagging on apps and forget about streaming video. What did you end up doing?
If you take this device to Apple and can demonstrate the same as you do here, they will likely replace your device. Why waste your time here as there is little we can do. Something is wrong as my X is buttery smooth and faster than any iphone I have owned.
I assume OP has tried the usual solutions - a hard reset and restoring from a backup? Otherwise a trip to the Apple Store.
