Jerky scrolling on iPhone 15 Pro Max iOS 18.1.1

I have seen several related tickets on the issue of jerky scrolling on iOS. I have made a video demonstrating the issue which I have experienced I will try and link here.

I subsequently found this ticket:-

Pro-Series iOS Phones Not Locking to 120FPS Refresh Rate [Ticket In: Affecting Pro-Series iPhones] - Support - Roon Labs Community

This seems to indicate that whilst the scrolling performance of the iOS roon app is not perfect there is an issue with 120fps (pro-motion?) that is specific to some iOS devices and that it is believed has been successfully addressed by your dev team. I can report that the scrolling performance is still significantly better (but still not a smooth as with safari) if I enable screen recording and therefore the 120 fps is not being used on my devices when scrolling in roon.

I don’t think that this quote…

…meant that the fix had already been implemented. I can’t see any difference anyway on my 15 Pro Max, same behavior as when this thread started.

I think you are right, otherwise it would be “the specific fix we’ve implemented” I guess.

FWIW I installed the Test Flight Beta of the iOS apps and the issue remains.

Shame. I wonder how long it will be before it is fixed.

Considering that it’s been an issue since the first ProMotion 120hz displays were released, I’m guess not anytime soon, if ever.

ARC which I’ve heard is Flutter based doesn’t have the same issue, so it’s probably some technical issue with the still Xamarin or MAUI based Roon iOS apps. Just a guess.
