As someone who has moved back to iOS with the 15 Pro and overall happy with the device, but also own a Samsung S23 and tried the Pixel 8 Pro, one thing I notice is how slow everything moves in iOS and I think that gets misrepresented as smoothness.
Take swiping from the left to go back a screen on the apps that support it, on some apps I thought it didn’t do it but what I realised was that I was swiping too fast being used to Android. I am having to learn myself to swipe left from the edge at around a third of the speed I do it on Android. On the S23 and P8 Pro it’s so instantaneous.
Also the Reddit app, sure it scrolls smoothly, but it also scrolls way slower than my S23. I actually prefer the way faster and slightly less smooth scrolling on the S23. I’ve noticed it in many many apps, it’s like animation and scrolling speed is on ‘slow’.
Like I said still overall happy with the device, just a observation. Is there any way to speed it up in iOS?
I understand completely, my Fold 5 feels faster/snappier but not quite as buttery smooth overall as my iPhone 15.
