iPhone 18Pro glitching

iPhone 18Pro IOS 27.0 just received the phone today I’ve only had it for about 5 hrs and I’ve noticed it’s constantly glitching, from apps loading, Bluetooth not connecting, Roku app lagging something my old phone never did, unable to share location, pictures not uploading quickly like before. Do they need to fix bugs on the latest IOS or is just a crappy phone?

18 Pro and 18 Pro Max set up yesterday. No issues at all with either phone. Of course, when you get a brand new iPhone it can take a few days for the phone to index the millions upon millions of bytes of data you brought over from your previous phone and most people want to play with their new phone while it's trying to do all its housekeeping, which can make things seem slow and "glitchy" as you suggest. At least give it a few days to finish the full indexing. If you have a VPN on the phone, DUMP it. VPNs cause too many issues on iPhone, aren't recommended or needed.

A lot of people do not understand Indexing
