anyone else notice stuttering animation on the iphone 5S

I went from the iphone 5 on ios 7 to the 5S and the animations on the 5S stutter about 50% of the time. specifically opening and closing folders and opening and closing apps.


ios7 on my iphone 5 runs buttery smooth. I thought the 5S is supposed to run better not worse.


anyone else having this issue and any suggestions? I believe that the software version for the 5S is not quite optimized at it should.


ios7 on the 5 went through 6 betas with thousands of developers running the betas reporting bugs. No one had the 5S so maybe its version of ios 7 is not quite finished.


any thoughts would be appreciated


Thanks

iPhone 5s

Hey guys i just went down to the sprint store and picked up a 5s "off contract" which was $688 after tax. as soon as i turned on the phone set up as new without any of my information on it was having this lag effect in the animation.


i kept the phone for 3 days to try to figure out ways to stop it. that was a total fail. the only thing that worked was obviously tuning on "reduce motion" which is DEF not what i want. i love ios 7 and everything that comes with that so that’s not an option for me. i felt like i was going backwards compared to my ip5 so i returned it. paying that much for a device and having it do that felt like an insult lol BUT im thinking about trying again and maybe seeing if i get lucky and get a good one.


this problem looks to be a VERY minor issue because there is basically no reports anywhere of this happening. BUT this is a huge problem for me cause i want it to run at least as good as my ip5 ya know....

oh okay well i really hope that that’s the case and fixes it on all 5s's and not just hit or miss. unfortunately from the rumor mill it’s going to be March or something until 7.1 releases. idk i might go back and try another one out and pray that 7.1 fixes it when it comes out.


im OCD about all my tech and want everything to be as close to perfect as possible and having that little bit of lag REALLY kills the mural lol....

bro trust me your DEF not the only one with that issue. I was lucky enough to of bought a 5s without having to sell my 5. i keep it for 12 days and tried all kinds of different things. nothing worked. when spending $700 on an s upgrade from the 5 i expect my phone to be flawless. i just went ahead and returned it. ios 7.1 is suppose to come out around the 15th of march and when it does i will try to buy another one. until then im good with my 5.

iOS 7.1 doesn't solve all the lag. There is still lag present when unlock phone and animation of icons are sometimes lagy at end if animation, also sometimes when opevmaps or wheather there is sometimes lag on the start of animation. What is strange because iOS 7.1 beta 4 was withou any lag and this lags what are in final release also appeared in iOS 7.1 beta 5.
