What phone are you using? How much system memory do you have left? There's a lot of reasons for lag beyond just a new OS. Some of those things could be exacerbated by the new OS, but for another datapoint, I'm running an iPhone 5 with 3.1/16GB used and I'm not experiencing any lag. The animations are a delight.
I am, however, not a fan of some of the graphical choices they made. A few subtleties like a thin 1px inset color on the NavBar text would do wonders for UI and contrast - but I'm not hired by them to make those decisions.
- cbrauchli 13y agoI have an iPhone 5 with 8GB free space and am experiencing lag and low frame rates quite a bit.
- aet 13y agoI generally wait for the new hardware. Never have had a good "iOS upgrade" experience.
- paul_f 13y agoWhich is funny after seeing Apple bash fragmentation at the WWDC. Apple has their own version of fragmentation, newer OS versions don't work on older devices.
- sjwright 13y agoI, and everyone I know has had a flawless upgrade experience. There have been a couple of exceptions -- the iPhone 3G (not 3GS) suffered with some point releases, but it was a horrifically underpowered device anyway.
- paul_f 13y agoHow about Siri on the iPhone4? AirDrop on the 4S. The upgrade works, the most important features don't. I understand hardware is required for the features to work. But to suggest zero fragmentation is reality distortion.
- pooriaazimi 13y agoWhen we talk about fragmentation (as developers), we mean API/display size fragmentation. My iPhone 4 doesn't have Siri, but developers can safely use iOS 6 APIs, knowing I can upgrade. THe iPhone 5 and the 4" display was a step backwards in that regards, but still, you can safely target iOS 5+ and reach about 95% of active, current app-buying iOS users, or target iOS 6+ and reach 90%. But you can't do that with Android (yet) - targeting 4.0+ would lose you a lot of sales. This will be fixed in the Android market in the next couple of years though, but until then, iOS users/developers/lovers can rightfully boast about "less fragmentation".
- nijk 13y agoAn Apple system is intended to be never laggy. The background apps should be killed to make room for UI.
