iPhone 7 lagging when unlocking

Potential fix identified on my feedback. If you don’t mind using “that” 14.6 version please report whether the issue is actually fixed.

Not quite bro, i still have the same lag on ios 14.5 ,my iphone7 model is A1778 32GB. Actually it’s worse than 14.4.2 so I went back to 14.4.2 yesterday.

Same issue. I have 256GB with about 85GB free. 1/3 of the time I unlock the screen it lags and freezes as described in previous comments. Lasts for about 10 seconds though and happens every other time so not a huge problem otherwise the phone is still very fast. But annoying and embarrassing

My guess is that there is some background activity going on when the display is off and when we try to unlock the iPhone this activity has to be stopped or paused and it needs some time to do so since it’s a heavy resource demanding activity. I have no idea what kind of process it could be though and mine is just a guess...

I update to ios14.4 just now and I will see if its still there ans I will let everyone knows. If its still there I will send again to apple. But its so frustrating that sometimes I'm thinking of switching from iphone.

Lagging is still here with new update ios14.4. After a day lag comes back and it lag again. At least they fix problem with reducing volume. Now we can listening music without volume warning interruptions and turning volume down.

No it's not, just with this they push you to buy new iphone. Like before with slowing done old phones so people go and buy newer iphones, I think this problem is not fixed intentionally so you will be forced to go and buy newer one, but if they dont fix this bug, that is it. And ofc I will switch from iphone, apple watch, cancel all subscriptions and switch to android (probably samsung cos of their ecosystem), cos I don't want to buy another iphone like SE 2020 or 12 mini and after 3 years to have the same frustrating problem like now.

I will try that too, I have it on lock screen but not that long, before that it was just a picture and I that problem. I will try now again to put just a picture and see if that helps.

update: change it and after 1 minute, lag is there after unlock. Didn't help thst either.

I remember when apple said ios is fluid and stable compared to android, but i have had android for over 10 years and ios for 5-6 years and sonetimes I use both at the same time, no mater how much people say that android is less stable and not fluid, I never had this problem with any of androids, but with ios theres always something, battery drain, lag, connectivity problems, etc. And they are making one software for one phone, android making one software for 10000 different phones, and doing much better job than ios... This problem will probably stay until we get ios 15 if iphone7 gets it.. but I'm not waiting ios15, probably few updates more if they dobt fix it just sell it and switch to android...

When you run programs that use navigation, this bug is most noticeable. The phone starts to dull terribly when unlocking. By the way, I have a second Iphone 7, it doesn't have such problems. And it keeps applications in memory too well. So there are different components inside? Apple, you have already released 3 firmware, but the problem remains, solve this issue. I don't want to buy a new phone, this one suits me.

I gave up and get back my android to use. The problem is now resolved... kkkkkk

But seriously, this should be resolved. It's embarrassing when we are in a rush and try to unlock the phone and it lags..

Well you don’t really do that action much on a regular basis in normal use. I tried replicating what you said and it does lag; but the lag that occurs in normal unlock, which we regularly do, seems to be resolved if not lessened by this method.

I have the same problem with my phone too.

I have iphone 7plus 128gb. I have used only 14GB/128gb and in-spite of so much available space the phone lags.

This issue started after I updated my device to iOS 14.4. I did not face any issue when i was using iOS 13

Kindly fix this issue at the earliest and do not make me regret for shifting from android to ios.
