App Closing / Home Screen Swipe Animation Dropping Frameson iPadOS 27
Since updating to iPadOS 27 (currently on version 27.2.1), I have experienced a consistent UI- stuttering regarding app closing and home screen transition gestures on my 12.9-inch iPad Pro (M1).
Under earlier iPadOS versions, these animations were completely smooth at 120Hz. Now, swiping up to close an app or return to the home screen frequently stutters and drops frames. For comparison, my iPhone 14 Pro (A16 bionic, performance actually lower than M1) handles these identical transition gestures completely smoothly.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open any app (e.g., Safari, Settings, or a third-party app) on an M1 iPad Pro running iPadOS 27.2.1.
- Swipe up from the bottom edge to close the app and return to the home screen.
Device Information:
- Device: iPad Pro 12.9" (5th Generation, M1)
- OS Version: iPadOS 27.2.1
Does anyone have an idea / advice in order to solve this issue, and am I alone with this problem?
