Every little update I have my fingers crossed. Why can't they just fix these horrible frame rate/animation issues? These are the things we used to slag android for. Bring back iOS 6 smoothness PLEASE.
PLZ APPLE, FIX THE GOD DAMN bluetooth issue that causing no messages notifications to come when you have the screen off and BT ON !
Seems like my iPhone 7 Plus drains power faster on the latest official release. Anyone else?
I didn't say bring back iOS 6...? I said bring back iOS 6 smoothness.... huge difference there.
Apparently its only with A2DP compliant devices. I have an old Plantronics Voyager and it doesn't do that but a newer Plantronics Explorer 50 does. All the sounds come through that headset when it is connected. The phone does vibrate but tones come through headset (still same on 10.2.1)
Yeah I think my iPhone 7 Plus and Apple Watch have suffered on the official release so I'm trying this Beta to see it if helps
Yep, here too.... Was the first thing I noticed on my 7+
Other than that, this seems very fluid and smooth so far.... More testing and updates later.
It boggles my mind that we have hardware of the calibre of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, and we get such horrible choppy scrolling and frame drops.
I hate to say it, but my Pixel's scrolling is super smooth. I never thought I'd see the day when Android's UI was smoother and more fluid than iOS's.
Really? Because because I hate the way the pixel feels, scrolling wise.
The Pixel and the iPhone 7 have different feeling scrollling, in that the inertia and speed feels different. However, the smoothness is like night and day; my iPhone sticks and stutters as I scroll quickly through photos for example, while my Pixel is completely smooth.
I'm starting to lose faith. The worst part is, older hardware runs iOS 10 better then newer hardware? What?! Don't get me wrong, there are still a lot of issues littered throughout older devices too. The fact that scrolling through my messages app, scrolling through photos, jumping in and out of apps, scrolling down my notifications and doing pretty much anything makes this, "fastest phone on the planet," hiccup and drop frames is beyond me..... You can take your benchmarks and blow them out your arse. I've been waiting since iOS 7 for Apple to fine tune iOS and get rid all these little inconsistencies and performance issues. It's almost reminiscent of Samsung, benchmarks through the roof, performance was a pile of poop. I never thought I was see the day where android would not only be on the same level, but surpass iOS as far as fluidity is concerned. I used the Pixel for a few days and with "slower hardware," it still ran like a dream. Not perfect, but way more consistent and fluid then my 7 Plus. We used to poke fun at android fans in recent years for their "laggy" phones.....I'm not ditching Apple, nor do I think Apple is doomed. It's just hard to come to terms with Apple just not caring about the little details that made the iPhone the iPhone. I'm still holding out hope for a .1 release that mitigates all my complaints.
Interesting. I'll have to compare the two again watching out for the above mentioned. Can't say stuttering has been an issue here but I'll compare to see any difference
