I don’t want to jinx it but seems to be resolved with 16.0.2 in my limited testing - hasn’t happened for me yet since the update, whereas I’d see it multiple times every hour beforehand.
Ah dang. So I posted about my issues with Mario Kart tour in reddit, displaying a video with a brand new stock 14 Pro max and my regular 14 Pro showing the lagginess. Nintendo actually reached out to me and asked me a ton of questions to investigate it. Hope its resolved bc I only play one game haha.…spoke too soon
Glad I found this discussion. After 2 calls with Apple support the only advise they could give me was: clean install without putting my iCloud back up back.... :-s . Just set the whole phone and my apple watch up.
Do you guy thinks this helps? Clean install and configure everything again and not using the backup?
There are indeed very noticeable hiccups in closing apps. It's random and can effect any given app (third party or not). I swipe up to close the app and it will hang for just a second before continuing the animation.
This is so frustrating to see such a high end phone struggling...
It helps to restart the phone but eventually it comes back.
First I thought 16.0.2 fixed it to, but it was only because a update means a restart.

Nah, this is the same stuff they had us do 2 years ago with the 12 Pro. Everybody was all “oh it’s a problem with your phone’s hardware” and “you gotta set up the phone as new”, and then they fixed it with an iOS update.
The 16.1 beta fixes 95% of this issue, yet the thread continues about people concerned about their phones.
Clean install didn’t help. I’m on 16.1 public beta 2 and still see issues on games and phone
I’m having what seems to be a version of the same problem in the game Beatstar, along with a lot of other people in the Reddit (e.g.
)
When I touch the screen to press a note, everything seems to jitter and lag, which is a problem because timing of presses on notes is kind of the point of the game! 😒
This is happening for me on a new iPhone 14 Pro running the stock 16.0, and turning off ProMotion doesn’t make a difference. Really hoping a point release comes along to fix this soon - I’ve still got my old 12 Pro and suppose I can use that to play Beatstar in the meantime (and iOS auto updates are turned off! 😅) but I really need to sell it to recoup some of the cost of the new one! 😬 So I suppose it comes down to how much I want to play the game vs how much I need that money… oh dear. (It’s not that I can’t quit, it’s that I don’t want to! 😝)

Iphone 14 Pro Max 512g. I play most of the games listed in this thread and downloaded the ones I don't for testing.
Pokemon go- No issues
Wild Rift- No issues- But 14 not supporting 120 mode right now
Genshin- had to redownload. ran around open world for 15min no issue i see but dont really play this one.
Mario Kart- No issues- Don't play a lot just did a few races.
Brawl Star- Dled to test. Played a few rounds didn't seem to have a issue
beatstar- Dled to test. played 5 songs. All ran fine only issue was with opening a box seem to skip a frame or 2
maybe we can get a few other people with 14's pro's to test also and report back to see how big this issue is. Also what size models do you guys have? do you have issues watching videos or scrolling webpages/apps?

It's a regression on the memory management issue others have pointed out from the iPhone 12 days. Give it about half a day after an update/reboot and you see all the stuttering again.
14 pro 128gb wild rift runs like trash now. Can’t even stay 60fps. Clean installed game, phone, tried betasIphone 14 Pro Max 512g. I play most of the games listed in this thread and downloaded the ones I don't for testing.

Me and my wife both got iphone 14 pro max. FPS are dropping in all games like wild rift, pokemon unite and moba legends for me.
I downloaded games on my wifes phone to test and she has the same fps issue.
Has anyone got any fix or news ?? This is so annoying.
I took a screenshot of pokemon unite fps drop.

Has apple even acknowledged this issue anywhere? It would be nice to know they were at least aware and working on a fix...
Okay about the same score. Mine was a little better but with in 1%. Maybe not a hardware defect.
Just played a match. Most time fps was showing 60. Did have dips at times lowest I seen was 55 but couldn’t tell it. Ran just fine
