[RESOLVED in iOS 16.4] iPhone 14 Pro max lag when closing application (swipe up)

Oh wow… do you remember that horrible decision they made in one version of iOS where there was a purposeful delay after pressing home button to return to homescreen?!
I really wish I could understand the lag you’re talking about. I’m on 14pro and don’t experience any stutters EXCEPT on music app when viewing lyrics, or on podcasts scrolling down… but it’s more like iOS UX bugs and it’s still loading information and therefore stutters. Not really due to graphic processing.
Yup, just a matter of time. It has to be some sort of memory leak as a reboot will get rid of it for hours (and even days after a system update). Makes you wonder if it's a leak in the indexing service.
They almost go hand in hand here. When I experience the slowdowns I usually also have square notifications on the lock screen.
It‘s not a universal problem - I, along with others, haven’t seen it (14PM, now on 16.2). And I know what it looks like as I had it on my 12PM on earlier releases.
I really don’t know what happened but the installation of iOS 16.2B3 definitely has fixed my iPhone. Since then, I haven’t seen any stutter. It has something to do, therefore, perhaps, with the installation itself. Nothing that we can interfere with, tough.
So far I haven't seen it and I updated on day of release. The SMS/iMessage ring in your ear when on a call bug is still there though which to me is a bigger issue as deafens me every time
Iterating what a few people have mentioned in this thread before, there must be multiple triggers for the stutter, based on one's specific setup on the phone (combination of settings and apps installed). Most people won't experience the stutter because they don't tick any of those triggers. Some who had the issue but now don't may mean Apple must have fixed a few of those triggers in the recent updates, but obviously not all of them and that many more still exist.
Having a really good experience since installing 16.2. Seeing a few tiny stutters here and there but the phone has been the smoothest I've seen since launch.
It's kinda interesting, after these stutters I went 24+ hours without seeing them until getting one again (no reboots or anything).
My theory back with the iPhone 12/iOS 14 was that this was caused by iOS suspending an app into already-full memory, so having to terminate a previously-suspended app to make room in memory. My new theory is that, either through intentional coding or machine-learning, 16.2 has gotten more aggressive about making sure memory doesn't get that full, so there's always room to suspend a new app. But occasionally, for whatever reason, the memory will still be too full, so you'll get a stutter when closing/suspending an app.
Same experience here, although I haven’t experienced any stutters at all since installing 16.2 when it was released. So weird that it’s affecting everyone differently.
Guys, you are “lucky”, because have stutters only on swipe up animation 
Mine have buggy animations almost everywhere on iPhone 12
Of course it’s very shame, but others have even worse stutters!
Feel like l bought very budget Android phone.
