iOS 27 – noticeable lag when using Classic Invert
Since updating to iOS 27, I’ve noticed a noticeable delay when switching Classic Invert on or off.
I have been using Classic Invert for many years — since the iPhone 3GS / early iOS versions - and the change has always been practically instantaneous. Under iOS 26 and earlier, there was no noticeable delay.
With iOS 27, there is now a short but clearly visible lag before the colors are inverted. This is especially noticeable when using the Accessibility Shortcut (triple-clicking the side button).
To be clear: I mean Classic Invert, not Smart Invert.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior in iOS 27?
