I’ve had this issue ever since I got my 12pm almost 2 years ago, I made a ton of posts, very few people who noticed this
The same issue also on the 13pm. It has to do with that vp9 codec, older iPhones that use other type of codec don’t have this issue (iphone 8 plus for example)
I really don’t know if it’s Google’s problem or Apple’s .
For me it is very annoying as I spend most of my time on YouTube..
?? For Apple and Google for not fixing this issue for so long…
 
Same issue here on my Xs max running ios 15.5 and still not fixed yet… its very annoying :( … the frame drop problem i’ve experienced is only on vp9 codec videos, while on avc codec, videos are running smoothly (you can check by enabling stats for nerds features in youtube app)
