I don't have an iOS device, but here are my steps to reproduce on Android. Open a map. Turn on airplane mode. Zoom in. See pixels Here's a screenshot I too

  The pixellation here is your phone waiting to download the higher-res vector tile. While it waits for the higher-res tile it draws a bitmap representation of the lower-res tile "above" it.

    Surely if it's vector done right they can draw the lower detail vector tile at the higher bitmap res?

      No because the amount of detail will change at each zoom level. Smaller roads and a higher number of local details appear.
