Not on WiFi but its not usually this slow.
Any ideas?

This isnt like a reset where I loose all my contacts and everything else is it?

(116,113 posts)After that the Apple logo will appear and the phone will reboot. You won't lose any data. I've done it a couple of times when my phone hung up and wouldn't respond.
According to this, what I described is a "soft reboot," and a true hard reboot will erase your data but you have to go through several deliberate steps to do it. It won't happen accidentally. https://www.ubergizmo.com/how-to/how-to-reset-the-iphone/
