iPhone 17 Pro Max My iPhone 7 Plus is faster than my iPhone 17 Pro Max

I just bought an iPhone 17 Pro Max a couple of weeks ago. My previous phone was an iPhone 7 Plus (that I bought 9 years ago). Mostly I see no speed/smoothness difference between the two EXCEPT every now and again the iPhone 17 Pro Max freezes.

Reboot...reboot...reboot.

That many times and in that order.

Ah! So Apple is using Microsoft Windows for its iOS now. Sweeeet!

There’s a problem with your 17 PM. I daily a 17 Pro and an 8 (iOS 16) and there’s a massive difference between the two.

In fact, it’s impossible for your 7 to feel as smooth as it won’t have a Pro-Motion panel.

What iOS version is it on also?

My iPhone 7 is 100% smooth. Like I said the iPhone 17 Pro Max struggles not to stutter at times. This is a brand new $1600 phone too! Weird. But, some how I'm not really surprised.

I don't play video games or use resource intensive applications though. I'm sure the iPhone 17 Pro Max is technically faster than the iPhone 7 Plus - But for how I use it (text messages and Discord 99% of the time) I just pretty much see no speed difference between the two. If anything my iPhone 17 Pro Max is slower because it'll freeze occasionally.

I consider that just a $1600 Windows-esque feature.
