Q: iPhone 7 Slower Animations & Chop?

I'm using an iPhone 7, coming from the 6s. I've noticed that when closing an app, there's a stutter that occurs about 80% of the time when returning to the home screen. On the 6s, this is one, smooth animation. I even recorded both screens in slow motion to make sure I wasn't crazy, and sure enough, the iPhone 7 pauses right after the animation starts. Additionally, I've noticed that using the task switcher on the iPhone 7 is more choppy. Even more additionally, I've noticed that Unity apps are much more choppy & jittery on the iPhone 7 when they're smooth as silk on the 6s. Has anybody else noticed similar experiences? I did notice the home screen lag on a friend's iPhone 7 at work, and I've seen other people mentioning the same thing. Just want to get this out there so that Apple is aware. (If they aren't already.) And, yes, I've already written up a feedback request. Just want to get more visibility in this, or see if anyone has found any solutions.

    We could do with as many people as possible putting feedback in on this one. I was in the Apple Store the other day trying to draw an assistant's attention to this exact problem; he couldn't see it. I know I'm picky, but I can really see this.

     

    The only solutions I've seen involve reducing transparency and motion in the Accessibility options. They're just workarounds, though.
