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 contacted Apple Support on Wednesday about the animation lag and the person I spoke with said they had not heard of this issue from anyone else. I ended up speaking with a Senior Advisor and they ran a diagnostic check on my iPhone. She could not find anything wrong with my processor. Hopefully if more people call support and report this issue they can address it on a future iOS update as long as it is not hardware related. It would help if some of the bloggers could get on board and write about this as well. Perhaps it would open Apple's eyes to the issue and resolve it.

I am actually surprised that the reviewers on YouTube as well as the more known sites have not picked up and reported it. I am led to think that we are not the only ones who are or have experienced this with the 7 and 7+, just strikes me as odd that it has not yet been pointed out in a posting on fan and review sites.


As more people get the new iPhones in their hands, it will come to the surface soon enough. Just going to take the right people that have a bit of leverage in the tech community to shed a negative spotlight before it gets addressed.

Same thing is here. I visited two stores and checked all iPhone 7 plus devices there. They all have a lag in recent apps screen, folder closing animation, and sometimes when an open app is quited.

I actually track same issue since iPhone 6 plus. The GPU seems to be weak for this screen resolution. Smaller screens are not affected that much, although recent apps screen also lags on 6s and 7 models.

Apple devices tend to be less smooth than they used to be before
