im I the only one blown away at how laggy and much stutter is in the unlock animation, even on the iPhone X? It seems like this is much less fluid than it should be.
Got a tip for us?

No... you're not the only one. I have an Ip8+ and I have a lag as well. Not all the time, but always with first unlock when phone was left unused for some time.
You know what they say?
A11 chip is the fastest processor
but for me it's useless without propper optimization...
No lag on my iPhone X. I set the phone up as new.

I haven’t experienced this.

I'm loving the rhetoric on MacRumors these days. More dramatic than daytime television.
I’m still using an iPhone 6 Plus and the unlock animation stutters every time, not just with the first unlock when the phone hasn’t been used in a while. It is so annoying I was thinking of upgrading to an iPhone 8 Plus, but then I saw this thread and I see it is happening on the newer phones as well.
For me, the stutter started on iOS 11.1. I downgraded to 11.0.3 and now the unlock animation is smooth again, every time. In fact, everything is much smoother on 11.0.3 on my 6 Plus such as the multitasking animation and opening control center. It feels like a new phone again. Hopefully the stutters get fixed on 11.2. If not, I will be staying on 11.0.

It stutters because some idiot (please excuse my language) at Apple decided it would be a brilliant idea to have the unlock screen go from 100% blur to 0% blur as the screen unlocks. You will also see this effect when you activate the notification center: it does what I just described in reverse. (100% blur -> 0% blur)
It's even more hilarious when you have the same wallpaper for both lockscreen and wallpaper because now it'll try to blur the image before displaying it again.
This is not smooth even on the iPhone X because obviously, the lock screen initially has 0% blur. It jumps from 0% to 100% in a split second just so the animation could start.
It's kind of cliched to say this now but seriously, this is the kind of design "flaw" that I think Steve Jobs will have someone fired for. Tim should use his phone more and start firing more people.

Unless we have a different perception of choppiness/smoothness, I would consider this to be a bug affecting only some devices. I am very picky with the eye candy and the details and I do notice these things to the point where they greatly annoy me when I've seen them even once and know they're there even if they don't happen 100% of the time.
I can safely say my X's animations when unlocking are buttery smooth.. Just my 2 cents.
EDIT: Make sure you're on the latest update. They fixed a lot of the animations for my 7+ with their latest iteration. I've only tested the X on the latest update..

not sure if this is what other iphone x users are experiencing.
it’s hard to duplicate, but when i swipe up and face id is already recognized (thus no face id) screen, the lock screen wallpaper will have a quick flash before unlocking.
like i said it’s hard to duplicate, still happening on 11.1.2

I think this is the same issue that I have reported here before but on an iPhone 8 Plus. I have taken my 8 Plus into the Apple store and they were able to reproduce it on one of their test phones and chalked it up to an "engineering" issue and that they would forward to wherever I forget. It most likely won't ever get fixed I've just completely ignored it now its not worth the headache of Apple Chats and Apple store visits... just my two cents
i’ve been trying the hardest to duplicate it for the past ten minutes and have failed.....hahaha
I've seen this. It's annoying. I have an 8. This OS release is truly the worst.
