A lot of smartphones will be using notches, so what? A lot of smartphones also lost their headphone jacks. It just takes time for certain things to become standards. There will certainly come a time when Samsung follows other manufacturers and ends up like everyone else. I don't think any manufacturer is right or wrong about what features they want to remove or add. That's their choice to satisfy whatever features they think their customers prefer in a smartphone.
My iPhone 6 _is_ so slow, even after a battery replacement. Launching apps often takes 20 seconds. Does that mean I’m gonna buy an S9? I don’t think so.
It means you should probably restore your phone as new rather than from a backup.
Doesn't that remedy sound just a little bit familiar?
Like "just reinstall Windows and it will be okay"...
No it doesn't actually. We do large updates over WIFI overlapping IOS versions... things can happen. A hiccup in Wifi can cause an issue with how your phone performs after update. I personally know folks still using iPhone 6 and 6 plus that don't have the slowdown issues that the OP described running 11.3.1. I gave a suggestion as a way to eliminate software as a reason for the terrible slow down the OP described. If you restore and still have this behavior than the phone needs to be looked to see if hardware damage or defect is the cause of the poor performance.
Simply put your phone shouldn't be dragging to open apps and acting sluggish under normal use..period.. there has to be a reason. Whether it be an offending app or a battery being throttled, software or hardware problems. Personally I have never recommended a fresh install of windows to anyone unless the machine is so rocked with viruses/malware that it's not worth trying to clean up.
Did they edit out the part where they kick that iKnockoff user off the plane for having an explosive on board?
Also, using fictional characters(notch haircuts) to make fun of Apple is very mature..... It's like a kindergarten bully making a funny face and saying "Look my name's Jimmy and I'm duuuuumb *blows raspberries*"
That was good and funny ad, sure to make Samsung owners feel confident in their smartphone of choice.
The title “Moving On” is also very appropriate since, had she upgraded to the latest iPhone instead of a Samsung, it would have been titled “Moving Up”.
That’s funny. Can’t blame their marketing dept for trying. Out to lunch on the so-called battery issue, but hit an exposed nerve on the notch. I hate it (and a lot of iPhone X owners I know agree, but learn to live with it)!

Yep, exactly. After years of stubbornly wanting to keep restoring from my old backup I succumbed to restoring my phone as new and manually putting my data back in my phone. Extremely noticeable difference restoring my phone as new. This is what comes with any form of computing. Android users have to reinstall their OS at times as well, as happens with any OS.

It means something is wrong, mine is not nearly as slow! Did you change the battery on an Apple authorized service provider?
Yes, it was an official replacement at an Apple Store. The suggestion to restore as new has been made by the “geniuses” but I’m not willing to lose 11 years of iMessages as well as Health and other app data.

I'm not sure WiFi issues causing problems with iOS upgrades. From what I know, iOS download the full package before start the installation. I have seen iPhone and iPads slow down too, and if you Google it, there is a long list of people with the same experience, and many of them solve the issue with a clean restore. I agree with @IreneW, Windows was criticize for the same issues, and now we have the same experience in iOS.
While I appreciate all the comments trashing Samsung for trashing Apple over its handling of weak, worn out batteries, there is another underlying issue that nailed Apple right between the eyes:
"Have you upgraded from your [very slow] iPhone 6 yet?"
So, Apple supports older equipment with the current, modern, secure OS -- but then gets nailed because its older hardware slows under the load of the newer OS.
The trouble is, they are right: the iPhone 6 is slow. Uncomfortably slow. Yes, Apple could let its old, now insecure OS (what was it? OS9?) run like Samsung does with no functional or security updates. But, while this would probably solve the speed problem, it introduces a host of other issues...

Thank you for the link to that video. I had never sent it before and I got quite a bit of enjoyment out of it. 👍🏻
