Has anyone noticed a slight stutter when closing apps on iPhone 7?

I've noticed the lag on my 7 Plus but was hoping it was because of background tasks being performed after restoring from backup; for example, indexing for Siri searches and scanning photos to be placed into memories. Unfortunately, after 4 days it has not improved. I've compared it side by side with my 6s Plus and my iPad Pro 9.7, both on iOS 10.0.2, and the iPhone 7 is the only device with this symptom.
I also tried turning on reduced transparency, but that failed to offer any improvement. When the UI lag on the 6 Plus was an issue, turning on reduced transparency had been helpful for my device. In that case, the bug effected only the Plus size, where in this instance, both sizes of the 7 seem susceptible.
Perhaps it's an issue with the response of the new home button, or the haptic feedback, that a iOS update will fix.

I'm running the latest beta and I don't notice anything strange on my 7 Plus when comparing to my SE running official 10.
But I do wish that there was a way to completely turn off all animations. I always select reduce but it's not good enough, I want instant satisfaction.

Happens on both iPad pro's too.......its ios 10 ....definitely needs to be updated through software
My bug report on this has been marked as a duplicate. This is good news as it means they are aware of the issue, AND reading our bug reports. 
So this should only be a temporary issue until they get around to fixing it.

I don't know about that. A bug that makes your flagship, latest product seem slower than the previous generations is pretty damn serious, from a marketing point of view.
I still notice a slight hesitation when the closing animation begins, but now that Auto-play Message Effects is fixed under Reduce Motion, I don't really care. I hate all app animations on principle.
I took a slow motion video of the iPhone 7 Plus (iOS 10.1 beta 2) app closing animation using my iPhone 6 and posted it to YouTube. No judgement or analysis, but it's... interesting.
That was definitely lag......I don't call that a stutter
It's not really lag, or a stutter. If you'll notice the animation skips ahead. There is no delay, nor are there dropped frames.
What we're seeing is not lag, a hiccup, or anything like that. It's just the way the animation is.
Ya'll are lucky being hunkered down for an approaching hurricane means I have some extra time on my hands.
Here's the opposite; iPhone 6 close animation filmed in slow motion using the 7 Plus:
All accessibility settings were already off for me, why would they be on for so many people in this thread without them knowing?
Needless to say, didn't help because there was nothing to turn off
