You should do the same if you're going to call someone out. Your phone, not some random YouTube video that for all we know were skewed one way to get more clicks.

I've already addressed all of that in a previous reply. No need to keep on rehashing it all.
That's pretty bad as far as the animations go. Don't know if it's the Safari video player, Vimeo, how you recorded it or your phone. But that is way worse than what I get on my own phone.
Yup, some people have some issues. Unfortunately not much anyone can do about that.
What seems to be difficult to grasp is that other people's phones may not be having the issues that yours is. Because when I can compare to a variety of devices and iOS versions, even phones that don't use Metal at all and tell you there is no difference, there is no difference.
Seems fine to me. I have nothing to base it against. Lol. Everyone keeps complaining about how choppy this or that is but provides nothing to show otherwise.
Somehow this video turned out 30fps, so literally nothing's smooth.Yes.
I recorded this on my rMBP using Quicktime at 1080p and exported to Vimeo.
This makes the issue hard to capture. A drop in frame rate from 60fps to 40fps can't be captured in a 30fps video, but is certainly noticable to the human eye.
Then unfortunately we wont be able to see any framedrops if its locked at 30 FPS.
QuickTime can record 60fps. I've done some in the past
It's 480p because it's recorded as vertical (portrait) which isn't widescreen 16x9 1080. Nothing to worry about on that. It's normal.

This entire thread is hilarious.
Metal was released in iOS 8, Control center was already using Metal since last year. So to blame dropped frames and "lag" in iOS 9 solely on Metal is completely wrong.
There are other variables that can explain why there might be some dropped frames here and there.
Thanks for the laughs guys.

You're partially right. Metal was introduced in iOS 8... That's true... But only for developers.
Now, starting with iOS 9, the entire OS is rendered using the Metal API, which wasn't the case in iOS 8.
Was about to post exactly the same about his answer.
Thank you, you understand what I mean.
