Q: Iphone 7 camera very slow to capture
HI everyone. Got the iphone 7 256gb 1 week already. I find the camera focusing speed is acceotable but a tad slower than 6s. However what i find most disturbing is that after i press the shutter button it takesa very long time to capture the image resulting in missing the nice shot of my kidd or slightly blurry images. I compared it side by side with the iphone6 plus. Then 5s snd 5. Results were disturbing. Even my 5 of 4 years captured images faster overall with slower focusimg speed
Did a reset using itunes on pc snd clean install again and also using recovery as suggested by apple chat. Still the same. searched on youtube on speed tests and note 2 reports thatthe 7's canera is laggy. Anyone with issues? Is it hardware or software? please advise. Btw also on latest ios 10.0.1
iPhone 7, iOS 10

To follow up...Well I called Apple and credit where it's due the service was excellent. I told them about the issue I was having and they agreed that it shouldn't be like that and asked me to return the phone by post to exchange it for a new unit. The exchange took only 3 days from start to finish by post which is pretty darn impressive. Top marks for service.
However the replacement is no better. This is clearly an inherent issue with all iphone 7's. It's just that most users who aren't relying on their phones to take action photos aren't going to notice the delay as I do in my daily work.
I've since reverted to using an iphone 6s ( which has no such issues with shutter speed) and am considering cancelling my contract and returning the iphone 7 as it really is a pointless upgrade for me when taking photo's is my main reason for having it.
Iphone 7 pictures are lovely...as long as the target isn't a moving one!
Is it hardware or software ??? That is the question. If the latter then I suppose there is hope for a fix. We just want it to work at least as well as our older phones.
Is anyone from Apple reading this?
