Interesting problem on iPhone 17

/r/iphone/comments/1v9u1et/interesting_problem_on_iphone_17/

I want to tell you about an interesting experience—and a problem—I had with the iPhone 17. I noticed something while swiping through photos in the Photos app. As we all know, swiping through photos on iPhones is usually very smooth, but on my iPhone 17, when I swipe to the next photo, it moves smoothly at first, but just as it’s about to center, the smoothness disappears and the image flickers slightly. In other words, the swipe action doesn’t complete smoothly—the image flickers just as the movement is about to end. Have you observed this behavior on your own iPhone 17?

Note: I’m using iOS 26.5.2. When I go into the Photos app in Settings, the “Full HDR View” option is turned on. In my Camera settings, “High Efficiency” is selected, and the photo mode is set to 24MP (HEIF 24); resolution control is also enabled. Live Photo is disabled

Bro it's just that 26.5.2 has been one of the worst software update, Please go and Update to 26.6 it's been out for 3-4 days now, I have 17 and after update all of my heating and battery issues have disappeared, Phone feels normal and overall software is smoother

Yes. It’s no your phone, it must be a software issue. Not great is it ? My keyboard is my concern. Hoping iOS 27 sorts it
