iPhone 12 Pro 12 Pro stutter when closing apps

I have to say that it’s definitely happening much less frequently now, though not totally gone.
 
Try turning on reduce motion and turn on reduce transparency. Two less things for GPU to process. I run mine that way for years now and like how it speeds up an already fast screen transition.
 
Just to add another datapoint, I've also managed to record an instance of it happening. You can see the little stutter if you look at the bottom when I close safari

So far the gm of 14.2 seems to have to have fixed this. Still to early to tell.

Thanks for the update. It had mostly gone away for me but then I rebooted my phone and it came back. Not sure if it's just me getting used to it or the fact that it fixed itself over time.

I feel like it’s been the opposite for me. When I rebooted it was fine for a while, but now has gotten worse the longer it’s been. Guess we’ll see if 14.2 really helps.
 
As said above, 14.2 GM (Or RC as they are calling it now!) does seem to have fixed this.

Fingers crossed as it was annoying!

Just chiming in to say that I’m experiencing the same issue on my iPhone 11 (iOS 14.1). It’s not constant though.

12 Pro... was just going to make a thread about this. I’m also seeing some momentary freeze ups in the settings app. So much for the A14 chip and 6GB RAM.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking... 6gb or RAM with an A14 chip, this thing should be smoother than butter! And it’s not.

I’m running the 14.2 GM and I can tell you it’s still present but not as apparent as 14.1. I still get a stutter when closing apps but it doesn’t hang as long. I did a reset all settings after upgrading to 14.2 as well.

Doesn't everyone turn on Reduce Motion these days? It stops the idiotic parallax animation, the idiotic zoom app animation, and the truly asinine effects idiots think they should put in messages.

Yeah, I can confirm the stuttering.

I do not think this is a conspiracy or money-grab. Apple has historically been very good about making things right, and they will probably fix this soon.

Nobody should have to turn off motion effects to have their phone work smoothly.

I turn them off to make the phone work *efficiently*. Once you've seen the Parallax effect once... who cares? Once you've seen the Zoom effect once... who cares? And there is zero interest in some numbskull on the other end of an iMessage thread being able to decide that some effect is going to take place on *my* phone. Now, if you could only disable seeing heart/thumbup/thumbdown/etc...

Well I don’t want to declare victory just yet, but in the ~6 hours since upgrading to 14.2 I haven’t seen any stutter. Maybe it’s just in my head, but overall I feel like the UI feels a bit more snappy. We’ll see...
