I haven’t yet noticed this on my iPhone 12 Pro, but on my iPad Pro 10.5 after updating to 15.5, many apps (Twitter, YouTube, Safari) seem to exhibit horrible stuttering/lag, particularly noticeable when scrolling. Also when typing. Any one else see this? A restart didn’t help.
Got a tip for us?

Anyone else experiencing horrible lag/stuttering in 15.5 update?

Well, not sure what to make of this, but evidently my iPad was exhibiting this behavior because it was connected to power. The moment I disconnected, the lag/stuttering cleared up. Funny that a restart didn’t fix it, but switching to running on battery seems to have done so. My guess is maybe while connected to power it was trying to do a post-upgrade iCloud backup and it was stuck in a loop or something and when I disconnected it stopped it from attempting the backup. (I’m on vacation and the WiFi here is relatively slow, so that may be a factor for a poor iCloud backup attempt.)
Anyway, so far so good.?

No issues so far. Very smooth on all my devices. IPad Pro M1, iPad mini 6, and iPhone 13 Pro.
No problems at all on my iPad mini 5 and I upgraded yesterday morning. I'm updating my iPhone 13 mini now.
Maybe I've found a way to fix the issue of swipe up to home animation lagging.
*Setup -> Accessibility -> Motion -> Reduce Motion(ON)
If you still want to keep a smooth return to home animation, the method is as follows
*Setup -> Accessibility -> Per-App Settings -> Add App -> Home Screen -> Reduce Motion(Off)
I will do the same for the Safari browser. (...-> Add App -> Safari -> Reduce Motion(Off) )
And noew, I got a smooth and complete user experience.
↑ OK, I try this method few minutes, it doesn't work....

I haven’t updated yet… there’s nothing in15.5 that I’m interested in or excited about. I was thinking there was a lot more to 15.5. I’m hoping for grand updates like camera improvements, night mode improvements, and more control over the cameras. Most of the listed improvements in an update I don’t use. I’ll skip this one.
Yes. Stuttering like crazy. Just like on my MacBook. I begin to hate Apple. What happened to them?
I have been experiencing stuttering/lag since 14.6 on my 1 year old XS but iOS 15 as a whole exacerbated the issue to all new heights. It is downright embarrassing how choppy and laggy the experience is at times and really makes using the phone unenjoyable.
I have experienced the same thing on my 1.5 months old M1 Air as well on 12.4, very disappointing considering how powerful the M1 is and the hardware-software integration, which is supposed to prevent this from ever happening.

I updated my XS to the latest public beta 15.6 and i only got minor performance improvements. Overall still very slow. It‘s also overheating constantly although i replaced the battery 3 months ago. I wish I could downgrade back to 14.8. Everything ran perfectly buttery smooth back then
I also want to go back to iOS 14, but we still need to have the courage to move forward!🥲
