5s home screen seem jumpy'choppy/laggy?

[Garz]

Oh ok. I had more than one issue, so it was worth it to swap for me.

Understandable. I just don't like to swap unless I know for sure it's a hardware issue. I've swapped thinking it could fix something and it didn't. Then I inherited issues like dead pixels or other things and then had to swap again. Apple tracks your swaps and repairs so I only do warranty swaps if I feel like that's my only choice to resolve something or know it's not a software issue.

I hear you. I hate swapping also, but I can't believe the difference it made. My previous phone was hooped, lol. The most noticeable change is the fingerprint reader. It would take over a second to read my thumb on my original phone, sometimes taking 2 tries. This one is fast. If I wake the display up by clicking the home button, it's read my print and is unlocked the by the time the screen comes on.

I am one happy man because my original 5s was about the same speed as my 5, and I wasn't that impressed with it after paying full retail for it.

This replacement is definitely faster opening apps, etc.

But that is not the root of the problem. It doesn't do it on iPhone 5.

Oh definitely not the root...and since my 5S is like yours, and really doesn't have a leveling problem at all, I couldn't tell you why the jump is there when it's not on the 5. Like you said, hopefully a firmware update will rectify this "issue", really though, I don't even notice it anymore.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one that has seen this. It is very quick and will just catch your eye when you go back to the main screen. Someone had a good point about the sensors maybe having a party in this. I am waiting for the next update before I go looking for a replacement, but turning off features to hide a bug is not the solution just a band aid.

Thanks for the info and your awareness OP, this info brings me to another question. How often (estimate of course) does Apple send out device updates? As a potential Apple consumer this is kinda of important to me ....like my devices to run tip top ...SMILE

 

[Spencerdl]

On a new iOS version…relatively frequently. There have been two already and a third supposedly soon.
I also wouldn't be surprised to see a 7.1 either with the release of Mavericks to the public to enable the iCloud Keychain feature and/or with the release of new iPads.

Thanks for the Info Karen (Mod), this is GOOD to know

Yeah it's so weird that it did not happen on the 5 but it is on the 5s. I went to the genius bar this week and they claimed they had not heard of this issue. I showed the genius it. Took a few times to try and duplicate it but I got it to. He didn't even research it like they normally would. He said "Well I hope they fix it on the next update." smh

Well I don't use parallax because it's pointless and I'm set with that eye candy. However I still experience the blue screen of death

 

[sj-performance]

I noticed this on my 5S. Like others stated...turned off parallax affect and doesn't do it anymore.


...via iPhone5S from TapaTalk...

I find it odd that they would say they haven't heard of this problem since it has been posted as an issue on Apples own community website forum. Probably did hear of it before but didn't want to be bothered with this issue.

I think they're trained to respond that way. Apple Care phone support too.

Other than a few laggy apps though, I had no problems with the iOS 7.1 home screen on my iPad Mini.

Will get the 5s to test things out.

This thread convo is not about iOS 7 on a iPad mini.

But given the fact that a 5s has greater specs, it is a good gauge at how the performance should be better on it. It's always good to have a benchmark to work up against.

 

[MacintoshDan]

It's a commonly discussed problem over at the Apple forums, mine does it and so does every other 5s I've ever used. My girlfriends iPod touch doesn't have the issue though, nor my old 5. I bet it has something to do with 64 bit.

This issue has been fixed on 7.0.3. Glad I didn't listen to others telling me to swap my device.

Fixed my issue with this as well.

Awesome. Yeah I figure with it being a widespread issue, Apple would fix it quick.

This was driving me crazy, and I didn't really know how to describe it. I kept parallax on, but 7.0.3 fixed it. No little shudder/jump/movement of the home screen coming in and out of apps.
