Q: iPhone 7 animation lag...

I have a similar but slightly different issue on my iPhone 7. Every time I close an app, the animation lags badly and it's annoying. All other animations, including the app opening animation, are fine. I originally restored from a backup, but I tried restoring to normal factory settings, and it made no difference. My iPhone 5 has no lag issues when opening and closing apps in iOS 10.

OMG! Me too!!!! I'm about to pop by the local Mac store to check it out...it's so freaking annoying. My iPhone5s doesn't even lag lol...
Also this morning I had issues activating my phone + updating apps because it keeps saying cannot connect to iTunes but my net is fine!

I have the same issue! But it only seems to be lagging when I close an app or enter multitasking. It is actually ruining my phone experience. My iPhone 6 had no issue whatsoever with iOS 10.0.1. I feel like I've upgraded to a slower phone.

Same issue here. my 6s was really snappy on 10.0.1 - even faster than ios 9

Im thinking its to do with the taptic engine? I think it can be resolved with software update

And here. When you press the home button to go from an app to the home screen, the "shrinking" animation stutters towards the start. Sometimes, when doing this from the Mail app when the mail has some graphics in it, the stutter is worse, and you get to see the graphic at a weird angle for a fraction of a second.

I think we should all hit https://www.apple.com/feedback/.

I went to a retail store just before and the display units were showing exact

same lag. I guarantee it'll be fixed with next few updates

I Noticed a similar behavior with my iPhone 7. When I close an App immediatly after opening, the app close animation is super smooth. But when I use an app longer the app close animation is lagging.

I also run iOS10 on an iPhone 6, iPhone SE and iPad Air 2 but there is everything buttery smooth.

I have the exact same issue!

I also had a look at the iPhone 7 display units at my local Apple Store and they all have the same issue. I'm sure it'll be fixed in a software update.

Same issue with my iPhone 7 Plus. I did a DFU mode restore and the same thing.

My wife has a new 7 as well as me. The lag doesn't seem to be there on hers, at least, if there is one it's much less noticeable. Putting the 2 phones side by side, and both in the same app, like Safari, simultaneously pressing the home button on both results in hers getting to the home screen much quicker than mine. Both 128GB models, hers rose gold, mine black. Hope we're not looking at a hardware problem with some batches here! Also wondering whether it's using the lower power processors in these new phones when it shouldn't be for some reason.

Same here, iphone 7 user. version 10.0.1 . Any apps open then when hit home button either physical one or the shortcut, it lags, stutter, or delay. like a .1 second stop in between the animation  . please guys use this link to share your experiences with apple https://www.apple.com/feedback/

PS. my iphone is the 128 GB matte black model, bought Sept 16. Singapore
