I’m trying to decide between a refurbished 8 plus and X and one factor for me is whether the plus models still suffer from stutters in animations etc. when compared to their smaller counterparts (and the X), or whether the leaps in GPU performance since the 6 Plus combined with iOS 12 means this isn’t the case anymore. My friend’s 7 plus still stutters slightly pulling notification centre down whilst my regular 7 is totally smooth, for example. Anyone with an 8 plus that values smooth animations got any views? Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

Do iPhone Plus models still stutter due to downsampling under iOS 12?

I never had stuttering on my 7 Plus or 8 Plus. Those devices have an extra gb of RAM compared to the 7 and 8 to account for the different camera set up and larger screen.
If your friend’s device is stuttering, it might need to be restored.
