These elements work together to prevent data loss, reduce risks, and ensure compliance with regulations.

Not to worry. We've got you covered.

Customized Security Plans

Cyber Hygiene

According to Barracuda Networks and UC Berkeley, 91% of all cyberattacks start with an email. Phishing, spearphishing, whaling, and Business Email Compromise (BEC) are just a few of the threats that can infiltrate your inbox. Email security is about more than preventing spam—it's about protecting your business from the devastating consequences of clicking on the wrong link. Our cyber training programs will equip your team with the awareness and skills needed to recognize and avoid these threats, and what to do about them.

iPhone Running Slow? Speed It up with One of These Tips

July 25, 20244 min read

Let's face it, iPhones are amazing devices. But even the sleekest, most powerful iPhone can succumb to the dreaded slowdown. Apps take forever to load, and scrolling feels sluggish. Simple tasks become frustrating ordeals.

If your iPhone has gone from speedy sidekick to sluggish snail, don't despair. Here are some easy tips to get your iPhone back in tip-top shape.

Give it a Restart: The Digital Power Nap

When was the last time you turned off your device? Just like us, iPhones need an occasional reboot. Restarting clears temporary files, closes lingering apps, and frees up memory. It's a quick and easy way to give your iPhone a much-needed refresh.

Clean Out the Digital Clutter

Our iPhones can become digital packrats, hoarding photos, videos, and apps we no longer use. Do you really need all those selfies? This clutter can slow things down. Take some time to declutter your digital life.

Photos and Videos

Review your photo and video library. Delete blurry pics, duplicates, and anything you don't need anymore. Consider using cloud storage services like iCloud Photos or OneDrive (Apple, Microsoft). These store precious memories without clogging up your device's storage space.

Unused Apps

How many apps do you use daily? Identify apps you haven't touched in months and delete them. This frees up phone storage space, reduces background activity, and improves battery life.

Offload Unused Apps & Keep Data (iOS 11 and later)

This nifty feature lets you free up storage space by keeping an app's data while deleting the app itself (Apple). When you need the app again, you can simply download it without losing any saved data.

Remove Unneeded Podcasts

Many podcasts download to your device without you realizing it, allowing you to listen without a direct connection but filling up your device fast. Review your iPhone’s storage and remove unnecessary podcast downloads.

Tame Background App Refresh

Background App Refresh allows apps to fetch new content even when you're not actively using them. It can be helpful but also drains your battery and slows down your phone. Review your Background App Refresh settings and turn it off for apps that don't need constant refreshing in the background (Apple).

Not Every App Needs to Know Where You Are

Many apps constantly track your location, even when you're not using them. This can drain your battery and impact performance. Review your Location Services settings and restrict access for apps that don't need constant location awareness (Apple).

Reduce Motion Effects

Apple's fancy motion effects, like app parallax and zoom animations, can be beautiful but resource-intensive. Turn off iPhone motion effects to free up processing power and make your iPhone feel snappier (Apple).

Update Your Apps and iOS

App and iOS updates often include performance improvements and bug fixes. Make sure you're running the latest versions of your apps and iOS to ensure optimal performance and security (Apple).

Disable Automatic Downloads

Automatic app and iOS updates are convenient but can sometimes happen at inconvenient times, slowing down your phone. Consider disabling automatic downloads and updating apps and iOS manually when you have time and a good Wi-Fi connection (Apple).

Nuclear Option: Reset Your iPhone

If all else fails, a factory reset might be necessary. This wipes your iPhone clean and restores it to its original settings. It can be the most effective way to clear out bugs that might be causing slowdowns. Before doing a factory reset, back up your iPhone and sign out of iCloud to avoid losing important data (Apple).

Check Your Battery Health

A degraded battery can also contribute to slowdowns. Head to Settings > Battery > Battery Health to see your iPhone's maximum battery capacity. If it's below 80%, your phone might be throttling performance to conserve battery life. Consider replacing your battery for optimal performance (Apple).

Keep Storage Free

Keeping some storage space free on your iPhone can also help it run smoothly. Aim to keep at least 10-15% of your total storage free. This ensures that your phone has enough room to manage system tasks and updates efficiently (TechRadar).

Clear Your Safari Cache

Over time, your Safari browser can accumulate a lot of cache and website data, which can slow down your iPhone. Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. This can help speed up your browsing experience (Apple).

Disable Unnecessary Visual Effects

Disabling certain visual effects can also help improve performance. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion and toggle on Reduce Motion. This will disable the parallax effect of icons and other visual effects that can drain resources (Apple).

Manage Your Widgets

Widgets can be useful but having too many can slow down your iPhone. Swipe right on your home screen, scroll down, and tap Edit to remove any unnecessary widgets. This can help speed up your device (Apple).

Follow these simple tips to diagnose the cause of your iPhone's sluggishness and get it running smoothly again. A little maintenance goes a long way in keeping your iPhone happy and fast!

"CMIT has given me peace of mind in my business by providing me with ongoing protection, monitoring and an invaluable resource of providing technical help 24/7 if needed. They have assisted me with various technical needs in my business and I appreciate small businesses supporting other small businesses in our community."

Swiss Learning Center

"CMIT sent Leslie out to deal with my computer issue - which she handled so fast I can't remember now what it was! Leslie was patient, informative, and engaged me with confidence and relief. She did not talk down to me as if I didn't have a modicum of sense - electronically - but instead was in a teaching mode. I'm so glad to know I can call CMIT whenever I have a problem and allay my fear!"

"Every business NEEDS Carmen and Jaime with CMIT Solutions. They have taken my business to the next level and I am so grateful to have them on our team. It's like having our own personal IT department. We are more productive, more professional, and ready to worry about things other than IT. As a construction company - it is not in our wheelhouse to manage this side of the business and as a small business it's not super easy to know who to contact. They are affordable and knowledgeable and can easily take any business to where they envision. They come with my highest recommendation."
