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 too have this and noticed it almost immediately after getting my phone. If you enable "Reduce Motion" in the Accessibility panel the lag is gone and its super smooth (no animation transition to stutter on). However the downside of that is you then cannot see or use the new animation objects in iMessage. I am sure this is as others have said a software glitch on the iPhone 7 that can be fixed with an OTA.


All other iPhones/iPads etc do not have the haptic or A10 processor, so my theory is that it has something to do with that, i.e. iOS has to send a haptic request when clicking home during this transition time, SE/6/6s etc go directly to home..you get the idea.

Hi there, I tried two iphone 7s(one 7 one Plus) from my friends. They are just fine or at least not noticeable. OMG!!


But I just called the apple care staff. I tried their advises, which is just basically resetting and didnt work. I also reported that it seems like a general problem other than just mine. I mentioned this post as well. That guy said he is escalating this issue to the engineers in US and will get back to me as soon as he receives any update.
