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

OMG I went to the Apple Store and explained the issue and they said if they had a replacement they would give me a new one right away but they don't have any. They asked me to remove my passcode and took the iPhone for diagnosis. When they brought it back they said there's nothing wrong with your hardware, this is a software issue most likely. But when I walked out of there I realize the lag was a lot less and I had no clue what they did until you mentioned the zoom option. I knew I had that turned on and they turned it off without telling me... lol

it reduces the lag by a lot. Once zoom is switched on, it's really bad again.

I made the change zoom off and I notice much difference, are now much more fluid transitions!

It is still not as smooth as on my iPhone 6 but has improved!

Call Apple Care few days ago and was upgraded to a superior, they said they are aware of the problem and engineers are working to fix it in a future update! Hopefully soon to avoid having to disable options for getting good performance in the "most powerful" iPhone...

Easy turbo… that was me. It has indeed fix the problem for myself and a few others on this post. This is obviously a software bug caused by what looks like in part the zoom option. There definitely could be other factors involved, but this option appears to be part of this bug. I don't really have the time to take a video to prove it to you, I guess you will just have to take my word for it.


If it doesn't work for you, you will have to simply wait for the official fix from Apple.

I don't recall stating not having any account logged or a fresh install? And noticing an absence of consistent animation lag after disabling one of my 4 accounts is not a very convincing placebo scenario is it? If it doesn't work for you, as pointed out earlier, you can always wait for an official apple fix. No need to dish someone else's solution to make yourself feel better.
