iPhone 7 animation lag...

Just picked up my iPhone 7 32GB.. Noticed a lagg when opening and closing a app for the first time.

When i press the home button and open the app again all goes smooth..
Already talked to Apple support, they suggested to restore to factory with IOS 10.0.1 and not to restore any backups.
Just did that, still lagg... Bit disappointment, my iPhone 6 was smoother..

Anybody else this issue? Must be! Check it out really good, I think this is gonne be reported alot!

iPhone 7, iOS 10, null

I kinda agree with you. On my device you can tell the difference when closing a app directly after you open it (then its smooth) But when a app is open for more then a few seconds it laggs a bit when closing. Its definitely better in IOS 10.1 beta 2, you see that they have done something with is, but its not completly sorted..

I just finished installing public beta 2 of 10.1 and the animation lag is still present just not nearly as pronounced. I know this is something that will continue to get worked on but I would be lying if I didn't feel like my phone reacted like an Android phone now and my 6S was super smooth under 10.


Oh well.. early adopters of new tech always have initial hurdles, yet I prefer the new haptic button to the old click home button.

I agree. I don't think I'm experiencing a lag in animation, possibly fixed by adjusting the 'zoom' and 'magnifier' settings. My128 GB iPhone 7 Matte Black, v10.0.2, has more of a stutter going on upon opening, say, the messages app, then double clicking the home button in order to close that same app out. What happens is a bit of a 'jump' when the home screen and the messaging app 'split' in order to properly close the messaging app. Then, once the app is closed and returns to the home screen, there's a delay for the top bar (time stamp, provider, bars--all that info) to appear. It's not all one smooth, fluid motion like it used to be. However...I've noticed that if, say, the messaging app is already opened, upon awaking the phone, and then I dbl click the home button to do the same thing mentioned above, close out that app--it's all very smooth. I've also noticed a blank screen when awaking--wallpaper and nothing else. On occasion, when opening apps (contacts, messages), I see only a blank screen. Also--battery life is whacky and worse than my 6 after updating to 10.0.2. I've restored twice at home, and once in store. Nothing has been fixed. Y'all think this is still software? Or maybe a hardware issue? Although--I don't recall noticing ANY of this going on after first purchasing. It was only after the 10.0.2 update.
