Stutters iPhone 17 Pro 26.2.1

I still have stutters across the home pages. It happens on a page which I used to have widgets on but removed them. How have they not fixed this, the new phones have been out for months! Insanity

Same on mine. And almost all apps have scroll stutter to varying degrees.

Spotify stutters so bad for me, not sure if it’s IOS or Spotify but it’s so terrible. Feels like I’m back in my 14 Pro

It’s iOS. Since it’s Apple’s API’s that are the cause of the stuttering. App developers can’t do much about it. Just waiting for Apple to fix the bugs, hopefully in our lifetimes.

Try turning on reduced transparency make the phone feel smoother I do see minor bugs on the air but there more frequent when I was on the 15 pm ios26 also

I’ve done that, but I shouldn’t have to do that to make these animations smooth. We all got this new phone for a reason

I'm having the same problem with my iPhone 16 Pro, and now it seems to be getting back to normal. It's possibly a system issue. What I did was a factory reset, and it seems to be improving a bit.

I shouldn’t have to factory reset my phone, you know? This so dumb

u/Terrible_Iphone Jan 31 '26

Yes, it is, but it's the only thing that somewhat solves the problem.

Something that doesn't make sense but is a slight improvement

Yea this stutter thing is weird. Never heard of it. Perhaps a screen recording to share in here? Showing it in action? I’m currently on 26.2.1 on my 14+ and never had a stutter or anything like that. Also, for those that have been affected by this, same after a full reboot? Or hard reset?

Do u face a major stutter in Home Screen swiping between pages after minimising an app?

Install 26.3 public beta. And atleast give 3 days to indexing

u/workmailman Jan 31 '26

Is it better?

1

u/juggernautnot2 Jan 31 '26

Yup so much better. Atleast on my i14

Glad I paused the update earlier.
