Really disappointed in my iPhone 7 Plus

Alot of this can be solved if Apple let us turn off the animations. It happens with every Android I have owned after awhile. Stutter or lag is just something I have to live with. Thanks to Developer Option, I no longer put it to 0.5x to speed it up but turn off all animations. They do sip on RAM. Animations gives you the illusion of "smoothness" when most people are better off turning off animations and go back to the RAZR or candybar Nokia days when we didn't deal with them. Turning off animations is similar to users who turn off battery percentage to avoid any OCD tendencies.
I immediately turn off animations when on Android or jailbroken os iOS simply because I don't like them. I really wish Apple would give us that option, but I'm sure that doesn't go well with their "let's waste as much time as possible" design philosophy.
Hi. Is this the worse you have experienced so far? Apart from a delay oppening Twitter app, the rest seems fine to me.
Any comments from Jayson A on this video?
My wife got a 7 plus several days ago and It has some lag as well.
For example scrolling through all the people in messages gets jittery while its smooth on my 4.7 inch iPhone 6S.
I also noticed that on my 6S I can close an app and immediately open a new one with no delay. but on the 7 plus it has to wait a second.
Im not sure what the issue is. A10 cpu with 3gb of ram? This has to be a software issue. I wonder if the 4.7 iPhone 7 works the same?

Yeah, this is pretty much the worse I've experienced on my phone/ also scrolling on the official Reddit app is pretty jittery.
For that instance all Chrome tabs are sandbox and they still cause issues browser wide. Sandboxing on the iPhone is the same. One app can affect other apps, there is just a higher chance it won't.
Tried out the regular 7 and it does not have the lag issues the 7 Plus has.
The Plus has been a problem child since the very beginning. It will be fixed with a software update most likely.

I just downgraded yesterday back to a 6s Plus. I just got tired of the little quirks of the 7 Plus. Most annoying is the home button. I exercise (sweat) a lot and often times I can't even unlock the phone. The fingerprint reader is really bad with moisture on the fingers. The lack of headphone adapter is always biting me. I bought 4 extra adapters to keep around and I still go looking for one and don't have it when I need it. Other little quirks like the waterproofing leading to substandard audio quality just add to the list. I don't game on it or do any heavy lifting on it, so the performance difference I'm hoping is not too noticeable. I do use the camera a lot, but I'm not sure I was all that impressed with the 7's, but we'll see...
fingerprint reader is the same on the 6S.
Yes, but combined with the new home button, I can't "click" it to bypass to the pin code screen...
Why can't you press on the home button (one more time) to access the passcode entry screen? Seems to work for me if I use a non-registered finger for example.

Safari doesn't use inertia scrolling (or basically very very little of it). Some other browsers, like Chrome for example, do (basically depending on how they are implemented by their developers).
Mine was smoother before I put the new beta on it. I had to because my backup on my 6s was on the newest beta.
Guess that's why I'm not complaining about any oddities. It passed my test in terms of screen quality, no crashes, good battery life, no signal issues, and I have the highest storage so none of that concern people made over read/write speeds.
If you're unhappy, you shouldn't stay with it. Go with whatever makes you happy!

Sounds like this is user based. Because I've had my iPhone 7 Plus since launch day, and I've had zero lag issues or any inconsistencies. And for the record, I own both the iPhone 7 and 7+.
I tried like hell to find a 7 Plus I could live with.
I hate it for so many reasons. It's heavier, thicker, like a brick, really. Has a yellowish tint to the screen (which sucks!). Has really crappy speaker phone quality. The new leather cases are all too slippery, too. They suck. Dropping the headphone jack was just dumb, too--a true annoyance. Absolutely no upside.
I tried to like the stupid phone. Tried 7 or 8 different units. Just a huge waste of time. So glad to be rid of it.
Went back to the 6 Plus and it was such a relief.
The 7 Plus is a failed phone, in my book. Oh, and Apple Music in iOS 10 is a huge stinking piece of sheet!

I've never heard the crappy audio quality attributed to the waterproofing, but something made the speaker phone quality of the 7 Plus just garbage compared to my 6 Plus.

Good to know there's other like me. I appreciate pretty looking animations but after the first day, I just want my phone to do everything as fast as possibleI immediately turn off animations when on Android or jailbroken os iOS simply because I don't like them.

I'll chime in to add to the jerkiness in scrolling in the Messages app. It's horrible.
No issues with Safari or Mail on my 7+ though.

Mine is also awesome in every way. You're either seeing things or your machine is not functioning as expected. Take it to a genius appointment.

This is built in. Check accessibility reduce motion.Good to know there's other like me. I appreciate pretty looking animations but after the first day, I just want my phone to do everything as fast as possible
People just perceive things differently. My brother's 7 Plus has the same jitter issues.
As does my wife's 7 Plus. So your telling me both are defective? Doubt it.
I have no more issues with Safari or Mail anymore. I changed my wallpaper to something more simple and they open perfectly now.
