I'm not sure why they would lag unless they have a bunch of websites open or buggy apps running. I've never tested one in an Apple store, but I've owned one since launch and notice zero lag.
Got a tip for us?

Seems like Apple is having a lot of software issues as of late. Hopefully they can get it fixed soon.
I'm kind of frustrated with my iPhone X at the moment.
My iPhone has been absolutely fine UNITL updating to iOS 11.2, I've tried restore as new device and from iCloud - no difference. Anyone else having similar issues?
I experience lag too on my iphone x
I analysed it a bit
Youtube: swiping down a video to a smaller corner it freezes half way before going down
Instagram: slow loading of profile images and lags when you scroll down fast in the search feed
Whatsapp: jitters in conversations when you swipe up fast
Homescreen: occasional hiccup when swiping left to right
All very annoying and there should come a fix soon

I had small lags but now on 11.2 its shocking. lags all over the place. loathed to do a wipe but might have to.
Just did a wipe on my X and still having lag issues. Especially low frame-rate in games. iOS 11.3 will probably fix this, bad news is we have to wait 3 months.
FWIW I had stellar performance from launch day and no noticeable lag even on 11.2 until this morning:
-Face ID not nearly as reliable and smooth. still usually works but i have entered code as many times this am as 11/3-12-6, I swear.
-Screen opened this morning to home screen, then went totally black for 1-2 seconds, then homescreen again.
-since then, periodic lag/freeze when scrolling or when swiping up and away on notification drops when doung something else on screen.
-and a couple of “what just happened?” moments with a drop or jitter that happened so fast I can’t describe.
I have done a hard restart as of 20 minutes ago and can’t say problems since. Transitioning to A1865 and Verizon IUP soon so new phone to come anyway.
Update: 7 pm. no lag on new A1865. On AT&T until tomorrow’s Verizon changeover.

You’re not alone. my x freezes constantly if i have pokemon go open. I had to close it to write this message otherwise it was impossible. I posted here and someone suggested oh close the background apps and it’s like...my 6 plus and 7 plus ran everything seamlessly with tons of apps open. This one can’t? That’s not even an answer. Going to restart as new I guess and hope.
