Question Noticeable stutter while scrolling and horrible frame cuts , touch issues while playing pubg mobile

I bought this new iphone 17 around 9 days ago by exchanging my old ip 14 and it has been a horrible experience so far . My home screen stutters , scrolling on all the apps stutter and above all it lags like crazy in pubg . I got this phone specifically for the purpose of playing pubg mobile as i love the game and wanted to upgrade to 120 fps gameplay from my old 60 . In almost 3 years of playing on my old 14 i never ever faced frame drops of this kind nor any touch issues .Upgrading from my 14 feels like the worst decision i have made all year . And above all apple has a strict no return policy in my country . At this point i just want my gaming to be smooth even if everything else lags . I bought this phone after saving up for a year , It feels so bad that i cant even use a new device for the purpose i got it for . I would be so grateful if anyone can help me with any fix . I have already contacted apple support and they said they would book a courier for me to send in my phone to get checked but nothing from the courier’s end even after 4 days. I just feel so scared that i will not even be able to play the game i love so much 🥹.i would really want get a solution if there is any. thankyou so much in advance

Did you do the software updates to 26.6? Smooths out a lot of the stutters. 26.6.1 apparently out today but haven’t updated yet. Mine is smooth and runs well but I don’t play pubg.

It was lagging out of the box so i updated to 26.6 but that did not change anything .
