My experience getting my P9PF (question mark in battery icon) replaced by a P10PF

The Good :

  • The hinge is so smooth and satisfying
  • The screens looks better
  • The front bezels are way smaller and the front face looks miles better
  • Speakers sounds better
  • Fingerprint scanner more reliable
  • Magsafe/Pixelsnap

The Bad :

  • Micro stutters here and there
  • Scrolling is not smooth
  • Some glitches like dissapearing notification bar

I'm kinda crushed by this "upgrade". I'm fairly sensitive to performance issues, and I aknowledge that my experience can be vastly different from others, but using this phone has not been a good experience to me. I get regulars micro stutters (when an animation just hangs for a fraction of a second), scrolling in some picture rich appas like instagram and reddit is noticeably choppy, and I have felt no speed/power increase relative to the P9PF. It's been a week, and it does not get any better.
I just went back on the P9PF to wipe it (rest in peace my sweet prince) and oh my dog the difference is night and day. This phone is so buttery smooth. I would even dare to say my old P6P felt better than the P10PF. Honestly I'm dreading using the phone now, getting absolutely no pleasure from doomscrolling at 20 fps.
