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

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 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.

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.

Hello,


I have noticed the exact same thing. Mine also has a yellowish screen and far less brightness than my 6s.

Last but not least, my iPhone 7 tends to overheat when I put it to charge. In fact it turns so hot I'm forced to unplug the phone, let it cool, then put it back in charge again ...


this is posted from my iphone 6s btw ... which is flawless


Best regards,

Francis

I have an iPhone 7 10.0.1 and my iPhone lags as well when opening and closing apps as well. I have 10.0.1 on an iPhone 6, 6S, and 5 and no animation lag what so ever. So much for a faster processor on the 7. Perhaps since people with older iPhones were able to beta test the new software (ios 10) they were able to fix the lag for those devices before being released. Hopefully, they will be able to determine what is causing it on the iPhone 7 and fix it soon. Otherwise I am very disappointed with the 7.
