I suspect that this is the most honest answer anyone has gotten from Apple on this. I think it is terrible to prioritize annoying UI issues so low because it directly affects user experience. And really, user experience is everything. It's like if I find typos or misspellings in an app, I will uninstall it and never look back. There is no excuse for sloppy work and if you do find it, you fix it ASAP.So I also have this issue with the 14 Pro Max and spent a lot of time on a support call with Apple who by remoting my screen were able to see it. They spent time talking to others who confirmed its a known issue. This is the key bit ... he told me as its a UI issue and not security or functionality it will be low down the queue to fix and unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. I asked whether 16.2 and he said he couldn't see it in the change notes for the patch. This was a couple of weeks agao I had the call. I also suffer from the even bigger issue of text messages pinging at full volume in my ear when I am on a voice call which is another thread on this forum

Get a pixel 7 or s22. Back in the day, I remember my iPhone 5 was such an amazing experience, but apple software quality has really gone downhill. Android honestly feels a lot more stable day to day. I’m in the process of selling my 14 pro.really very frustrating
I have a little speckle of hope because they fixed it in iOS 14.4 and it was perfect until 15 came out. Then they fixed it again. Seems like every major release causes it again, which further supports my theory that iOS is like a house of cards in serious need of a major overhaul.I'm here for the "The stutter is gone" posts from people who install the latest beta, which does not fix it.
How many times are people going to post this when it's only because their phone restarted that the stutter has temporarily gone away.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Apple hasn't fixed it because they don't know how to fix it. We are stuck with it and its absolutely pathetic. What was once the smoothest OS on the planet has now become a jittery mess littered with constant bugs that never get fixed.
Just as I figured. It's cosmetic so it's been sent to the back burner.So I also have this issue with the 14 Pro Max and spent a lot of time on a support call with Apple who by remoting my screen were able to see it.

Yes, I definitely see that as well.All of you saying about stutters when closing apps, but anyone noticing stutters when open new/switching between tabs on Safari, swiping on recent open apps, swipe to widget screen on desktop, photos app, etc?
The longer you go without a reboot, the worse it gets.Not completely fixed on 16.1.2, however I feel it's much better.
Actually the easiest way to elimate it is to go into Accessability and turn on Reduce Motion. Instant no stutter but its an iphone experience I'm not used to and don't personally like but it was annoying me so much I ran with Reduce Motion for a while. Won't lie I have serioulsy considered returning my 14 Pro Max and insisting on a refund but highly doubt they would give me one.As of now the viable solutions to eliminate the stutter is to reboot on daily basis or to manually kill the apps from the background, from my pov this points to ram management/cache software issue which is weird from ios as it's the main advantage over android phones!
They are too busy introducing new, sometimes flashy features that will add to the backlog of bugs when things go wrong, and get higher priority over existing issues. If this was a priority for Apple’s devs, it would have been fixed.I don’t know how and why iOS 16.2B3 fixed the stutter for me, until now (almost 3 weeks).
I really can’t believe Apple can’t fix it. They should stop everything they’re doing, demonstrate a minimal respect to their customers and fix this. Apple is the androiding on us.
About the aesthetic question, Apple always emphasize their beautiful integration between hardware and software. It’s utterly unacceptable that Apple doesn’t consider this a priority question. The stutter makes us want to throw out iPhones in the trash.
