Huh? If the o/s responds to interrupts in real time, it’s a real time o/s. What is your definition of a real time o/s?
Where is there stutter? Everywhere? Specific screens? Safari? Pervasive or random?
Okay, thanks for clarification. I get some random stutters also, but not everywhere or all of the time. Not enough to say it’s bothersome.
I have the problem after updating to ios 12.4. My one month old iphone xs is acting crazy. It stutters while scrolling and it gets on my nerves. ios 13 beta 7 is out. Does someone know if ios 13 will fix this stuttering issue? any changes visible on ios 13 beta 7?

I don't think so. My one month old iphone xs started stuttering after accidentally updating to ios 12.4. Its a software problem. Hopefully ios 13 will fix the stuttering issue.

I would love to know that too
These issues appear to be highly individual. If one's phone did not have stuttering through ios 12, the phone won't have stuttering for ios 13.
If your phone is affected by the "stuttering issue" in ios 12, ios 13 will not resolve it for you.
Ios 13 Beta 7 seems solid to me, just some random stuttering here and there.
I've been using a 7+ since launch and its been a great phone but I've been thinking of snagging a cheap 256GB XS Max as they seem to be going for around £800 brand new now and only to get cheaper next month with the 11 coming out.
I had a quick play with one in my local O2 store and something that I noticed immediately that with opening up various apple apps, scrolling though, shutting them down etc the animation was not very smooth. My 7+ is much more smoother doing the same thing.
I had a check of the iOS version the store XS Max was running iOS 12.1.
It got me wondering when I got home why the XS Max was like this as I was expecting it to be very smooth and then I came across this thread.
Am I right in saying that all XS Max suffer the stuttering problem?

IMO, I don’t think is a universal statement all Xs max suffer from stuttering.
I bought a 256GB XS less than a week ago and the first thing I notice is this damn stutter. I was crazy, reading the whole internet looking for a solution. My old iPhone 7 was much better than the new XS.
I was trying everything without success. So I came to this video linked below (I'm not the guy in the video and I don't know him) but after doing things he says, disabling some settings, the phone started to work a lot better.
I can almost say it's perfect now because some apps seems to be bad in any iPhone.
I don't know exactely what setting changed the situation but I am happy now.
Can you take a look at the suggestions and see if it works for you?
I hope it can help you just as it helped me.

Xs Max I bought suffered of it, so I returned it. Tried many xs/maxes since (stores and friends) and all had the stutter.
Try a few xs/maxes, like I did. Unlike me, maybe you will find one without stutter. But I suspect that if you see it on one, you see it on all.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a new XS (5.8).
This thread seems to be 40 pages of pretty much the same 5 people going back and forth over something that may or may not be noticeable. I'd be more hesitant if it was hundreds of pages with hundreds of unique posters.
I think I'll take my chances.

I doubt very much that the stutter will be ever fixed. I am guessing that it is a problem with the A12 SOC. My reason for thinking this is the fact that there are embarrassing stutters in the iPad Mini 5, which uses the same chip. They don't appear when scrolling but when using slide-over multitasking: the animations are always very jerky when moving the slide-over app off the screen. The stutters also appear in the page turning animations in the Kindle app. My iPad Mini 4, whose chip is 4 generations older, has completely smooth animations in both situations.
This issue should be embarrassing to Apple, but apparently sufficiently few people are bothered by it that Apple is not likely do do anything. It was immediately visible and annoying to me last Christmas when I bought my XS Max and I returned the phone within the 14 day window (I also didn't like the off-axis blue in the display or the notch). I wasn't about to pay $1500 for a phone which is inferior in many ways to my 7+.
One hopes that things will be fixed in the A13.

I suspect the power management chip alternative, just like lte modems, apple uses 3 types of it. It a chinese/Taiwanese the one with the problems.
This is what happens when you get greedy and replace German technology with Chinese one.
