So I've had my iPhone X for about 5 or so weeks now - I set it up as new upon arrival and did not restore from any kind of backup.

One really bizarre behaviour I've been noticing is that over a 7-10 day period, the phone reaches a "state" where all animations suddenly become extremely choppy (such as typing on the keyboard, there's a 1-2 second delay after every 5 or so letters) or in the most recent instance (yesterday) - I answered a phone call and then when I tried to switch to another app during the call, it was literally playing out the "zoom out to app list" animation at around 1 frame per second - I essentially couldn't multitask to another app. As soon as I hung up the call, the phone returned to normal until the next call.

Whenever it reaches this state after about 10 or so days, a quick restart of the phone puts everything back to normal, but I'm finding this to be really strange behaviour. I never had this in the entire year of my iPhone 7 Plus and previous devices - in fact I don't think I ever restarted my iPhone 7 Plus.

Any theories?

Replace it for free, what are you waiting for
 
Might there be a specific app maybe that's causing this behaviour instead of the OS? You can try closing every app from memory every day before you go to bed or something and see if it still happens.
 
Tapatalk will freeze and lockup every once and while but i think that is tapatalk. Because no other apps have done that yet.
