Across multiple Reddit threads, there are reports of unresponsive
touchscreens and slowness or stuttering . Its unclear how widespread these issues are, but in the case of unresponsive screens, users are reporting it can happen on almost any part of the interface, while the slow or stuttery performance is most often exhibited when swiping or switching screens. However, a few possible solutions have also been presented. One user has reported that restarting their phone fixes an unresponsive screen (at least temporarily), while another has said that when their apps freeze, they can unfreeze them by switching to the home screen and then back to the frozen
app. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here:

As for slowness and jittery animations, one Redditor found that having too many app icons on your home screens can cause a stuttery launch animation, so reducing the number of apps on each screen might help.

More long-term, its possible that things will settle down on their own after the initial post-update system-wide indexing is complete. Failing that, if youre affected by these issues, you might have to wait for the next iOS
update for a proper fix, as hopefully Apple will address it there.

And if you havent updated to iOS 27 yet, you might want to consider holding off until its clearer how widespread these issues are though usually bugs like these only affect a minority of users, so the risk probably isnt too high.
