iPhone iOS 13 on 7 plus - view changed

[jimmy_uk]

So I made the mistake of updating my 7 plus to iOS 13 and noticed that it has added standard and zoomed view option. The problem for me is the normal view has now added left and right borders to my emails and I hate it. Zoomed view corrects this in email back to how the 7 plus showed them before (without border) but the rest of the UI blows up larger and looks like a fisher price toy.

What with this border? Do I have to live with this or is it a bug?

I've downgraded back to iOS12 because it.s made my 7 plus slow as hell and is eating my battery. Scroll frame rates feel like I'm wading through treacle and the back of my phone is red hot.

The ‘eating your battery’ part is fairly normal.
It will probably be like that for a day or two, then stabilise. It’s due to the fact that with a major iOS update, there have been so many changes to OS files across the system, plus some apps change how they process their data - and lots of it has to be re-indexed.

not sure the standard and zoomed view option is new, though. I remember that being there on my iPhone 7 Plus a few years ago on whatever iOS it was.

The border in emails you’re talking about - it sounds like it might be the way iOS now indicates messages that a part of a thread. Hard to be sure without a screenshot. There’s a setting for ‘organise by thread’ - switching it off might help.

By bad, never noticed the view option before in pre iOS13 but your right it is there just tucked at the bottom of the page in iOS12.

Here are screens shots from iphone 11 as I've returned my 7 plus to iOS12.

This is how an email would normally look without borders. This is now zoomed view in iOS13.

This is how email looks with borders. This is now standard view in iOS13. Ugly.

i think this may be just how that particular email is constructed and is responding to the zoomed view.

I’ve not got zoomed mode - as on iPhone 11 Pro - but many of my emails’ content don’t go right to the edge (yet some do).

one way to check is to see how the emails display outside iOS - can you look on iCloud or another web app?

Interesting.
I have amazing battery life and performance on my 7 Plus 128GB.
Battery life is much better and the phone is very responsive. I had some slowdowns for the first 1-2 days and phone was hot but afterwards... things ran very smooth.

Now I have an iPhone 11 in hand again on iOS13 (in dark mode, standard view) and my 7 Plus on iOS12, here are some more examples of how email displays differently. Note the ugly extra border on iphone 11 (highlighted by dark mode, ie the grey border) and how email goes to the edges on iphone 7 plus.

The Mail app has gone through some changes in iOS 13, and this appears to be something related to that.
