iPhone XS iPhone XS - momentary stuttering after inactivity

If this was something that wasn't constantly apparent, I wouldn't be bothered by it. I'm not looking for it, I just notice it all the time. This sort of thing constitutes the level of obsessive polish that I am accustomed to from Apple products.
As a software engineer, these stutters are something I would personally be embarrassed to ship.
Ok, finally i can say that i find a way to resolve the problem. Apple push to aggresive power saving future on cpu to save battery usage. This provide to big jumb on usage or idle state. Something on a backgroung must allways force cpu to do just a little thing, 2-3% usage.
Another thing, location services provide negative impact of performance , lag,slows down, stuttering. Turning this completlly off give a big boost of iPhone speed, try setting all future manualny (data And time, (location) . Apple should give us a choice and create a power profile (performance mode)of iPhone usage. In all thing power saving future give us nothing, only problems.

Who care about lots of ram, more powerfull mobile cpu if apples power saving politic ruined performance everywhere. Playing Games , music, all interface(scrooling , taping, animation movement) . They dont care...becouse we dont care more to do something with that. We should bring them hell. Fire strike off phone call , mailing and spaming them. Create a YouTube channel. „ how power saving politic” ruined performance of every hardware. We Paid a lot of money for one thing „ performance” This is true and this you ask why.
For now only solution is using 3party app. That force cpu to usage 3-5%. State between inactivity and wakeing Up cpu is wrong optimised.

I discoverd that this app force to use a cpu a lit bit, and give some performance improvement of using Safari. Test them, if someone have another idea write this plz...

Almost unnoticeable bug, but I agree consumers should provide more aggressive feedback in an era of ab-testing, focus groups, etc to fix it.
It seems problem is solely with A12 and iOS12 interoperability.
I hope this issue will be addressed in next software releases, it seems it's quite easy to fix.
With this fix my XS would be ideal iPhone (I think latest backlash about this year line up is hugely exaggerated).

If some apps, iPhone services, smoothing inerface, depend of % cpu state this is why they should stop to lie us about super duper iPhone powerfull hardware if in the same way they give as software to Put limits everywhere and lie customers. After that they had problems with draining battery life and cpu overheat. Throttling, so best idea was power saveing future with ruined everything. They give us even worse quality, for example washed colour on ios 12 all this thing is doing to keep battery alive. This is horrible becouse apple have serious problem to optimise software on new hardware and lied us they dont know or everything is ok „ set iPhone as a new” They say that becouse in every first step of usage phone we Use a lot of cpu power, after that cpu is going to be on idle state, wakeing up provides stuttering.

In mid October I rebuilt from scratch the software on my launch day 64GB XS.
I had an apple support call the other night where the phone would hang for 15 seconds to over a minute. This has been happening more often and more frequently as each day passes.
The phone will not drop a call and the phone will pickup right where it left off.
As this threads title is stutter, this is more than that.
Anyways I was all set for an express replacement and decided I’d try to rebuild the phone again. Not super painful as I have a handful of apps, not dozens.
The thing has been solid for the last 4 days.
Something definitely is up with software, a buried preference or something.
My 2 cents.

I think you're trying really hard to see something nefarious where there isn't one. The engineers at Apple are good people who make the best product they can. The solution may be simple as you say, but simple isn't the same as easy to figure out.
Also, your solution isn't a solution at all. It keeps the CPU in a higher-than-idle power state, a workaround that we have been discussing literally since page one. None of us view this as a solution because power management is a good thing for battery life, and circumventing it is pointless. We just want power management to work better on the XS.
The true is apple dont care what you want to be or not. They just want to sell product. Customer become a tester of buggy software. Power management provides to all performance problem, i dont care of battery life... i buy another, only if they keep performance on Hight state all the time 24h.
[doublepost=1543774250][/doublepost]Look Man, when apple relase ios 11 on iPhone X they want to promote oled screen, wonderfull colours and contrast perfect black and sharp image. After that sofware cant handle that, they dont give us all this improvement of hardware quality,what you payed a lot of money. They give us ios 12 to cut colours, bright, smooth,frame drops, camera problem, sound crack, battery charge etc...slowing down future and politic.
If we do nothing only wait for apple marcy, that apple quality becomes to ***** tamagotchi for 3000$. apple relase new beta soft and another, nothing change becouse they dont want to take a look closer.

What can i say? There is no hope, update process to ios 12.1.1 was smooth like a sweet dream of every iphone xs should be. After reboot cpu become to idle state becouse update process was completed. The stuttering is still here. Damn it....
[doublepost=1544039114][/doublepost]They dont want to focus about this single issue, for all of us smooth fellings is most important thing to chose iPhone , this waiting to final fix is so frustrating.

This is unacceptable. I am currently using my 7, because of the stutters. All the iphones xr that I’ve tested are not having this problem. What’s wrong with Apple? Are they not testing the software? Are they not using the new iphones? How can this be unnoticed for three months?
Also I have the annoying stuttering/ frame drop scrolling issue on my Iphone XS... It is very obvious whenever i browse a youtube comments box, scroll spotify song library, though minimal on browsing facebook wall, instagram. Hope apple immediately include on their next updates the fix on our units.
They dont even thing about fixing becouse apple ignore stuttering issue. The problem starts after iPhone X on ios 11. Today we have ios 12.1.1 as official and the most frustrating issue is still here.
Im trying to do some features services tests by switching on and off.
The first thing is turning on Async Frame Scrolling on Saffari, test this ppl.
More smooth a lit bit?
Another thing what im thinking is battery recalibrate. Some Appe ppls say that on new IOS devices battery can be wrong callibrated this provide to performance issue.
What do U think??

Same problem here, I also wrote on the Apple forum and sent feedback of the problem, let's see if with the beta 12.1.2 or 12.2 the problem will be addressed. At the moment I have not found a solution to remedy the problem, but actually the screen recording eliminates the problem.
Unfortunately I do not have a developer profile, we are waiting for someone here that there is information. But I doubt that there is a correction, but hope is the last to die
[doublepost=1544467244][/doublepost]I noticed at this time that when it is in recharge the problem seems less obvious.
