Since updating my iPhone 13 to iOS version 26.2.1, my phone has been almost unusable. It lags significantly, and incoming calls show up in a bubble in the top left corner, but I can't answer them when I try. The phone is so glitchy that it even refused to turn off the other day. It feels like it's overloaded, but my storage is at 110 out of 128 GB, just like before the update when everything was working fine. Is there any solution, or is it time to consider switching to Android?

Just keep an eye out for the 26.3 update. It's not available publicly just yet, so hang tight if your phone is still acting up.
Have you checked your iPhone's battery health? Sometimes, if the battery's health falls below 80%, it can affect performance. You might also want to see if performance management kicked in due to an unexpected shutdown.
You're definitely not alone! A lot of people experienced issues after that update. Fortunately, Apple released version 26.3 last night which should fix many of those bugs. You should be able to update to that soon!
This might be a dumb question, but how do I check my battery health?
