Well, we are several updates in and I’m on 13.2.2. Mine has been fine up until the last couple updates. Now Instagram and Mail are both stutter scrolling. In addition to that I can no longer swipe to delete email

I tried first three betas of iOS 13 but went back to iOS 12 because of WhatsApp issues. I installed the iOS 13 GM when Apple released. I have zero functionality issues. They fixed all the issues I have encountered while I was using the first betas.

iOS 13 is fast. I mean really fast. Apps are opening noticeably faster than iOS 12. In general, the animations are a little bit smoother than it is on iOS 12.

However, I am experiencing stutters while scrolling between pages, performing 3D Touch Peek/Quick Actions menus, scrolling through open apps in multitasking menu, opening app animation. The animations and scrolling are most of the time very smooth but the stutters are there.

This is really annoying since my device is iPhone Xs and there were no stutters on iOS 12.

Moreover, battery life is not great. I can say that it consumes %30 more battery compred to iOS 12. But I will give more time on this one since things may settle down after few more days.

I am wondering if the stuttering I am experiencing is a general issue or affect all devices.

Note: I made a DFU restore to install iOS 13 GM, restored data using iTunes from iOS 12.4.1 backup.
 
Got this stuttering issue immediately after the update, and I updated quite late in Jan 2020. Did a backup and full restore last night. This morning the stuttering came back again during the commute, then went away at work. I expect it to return but hopefully not.

When using the music app during the stuttering basically everything is slow, 2 second input delay with swipes, etc. It makes me suspect that after turning the phone on in the morning it starts running some background indexing tasks in Music.

What an infuriating issue. Especially since I just wanted an iPod Classic, they were discontinued, and a 256gb iPhone 8 was the cheapest alternative. Now it can't even play music without the user investing 2-3 hours into researching, restoring from backup, etc. I'm shocked that it hasn't been fixed through a patch by now, and that no solution exists on the web from Apple.

I thought we were paying extra to have a smooth user experience. I guess trash design company can't provide that anymore. Already had to build a PC and migrate to Windows because Apple couldn't handle updating Mac Pros. I guess they want us hardcore fans to remove the last clinging particles and switch phones as well. So disappointing.
