Downgrade version will speed up my iPhone?

[Yaelism]

Hi all,
I have iPhone 5 - version 10.3.3. The phone is preeeety preeeety slow. Granted, it's an old phone. But I don't recall it being this unbearable. Will it help to downgrade the version? If so, which one and mostly, how?

Thank you!



(never EVER switch to android with which I'm stuck with now but still play with my beloved antique iPhone 5..(◞‸ლ)

You're probably better off upgrading to iOS 11, which is the current version. But I would wait until iOS 12 is released later this week and install that instead.

An iPhone 5 is as upgraded as it can be on 10.3.3.

Downgrading would put you in a situation where app compatibility becomes a big hassle. Apps have largely dropped any support for older versions of iOS.

You can't downgrade iOS versions as Apple is no longer signing them. Unfortunately, you are stuck on 10.3.3.

^^^This.

Apple does not allow downgrades and actively works to prevent that by deliberately not signing older firmware versions.

My mistake. Sorry.

My iPhone 5 is still pretty fast as expected for the device. Are you sure there isn't anything else in your phone that's causing the problem?
