Actual result: The FPS spikes between 60 and 120

Reproducible with: 2019.4.40f1, 2020.3.36f1, 2021.3.4f1, 2022.1.5f1, 2022.2.17f1

  1. Resolution Note:

    This specific ticket is about losing a single frame upon tap. This is a known issue, but cannot be fixed by Unity.

    If you experience a different issue related to frame rate or performance, please kindly open a separate ticket.

    Has this been escalated to Apple, if this is third-party issue? This has been an issue for quite some time and it makes 14 Pro Max models simply inferior to newer Android flagships for gaming.

    I am also experiencing this issue. My frame rate halves momentarily from 60 FPS to 30 FPS whenever the screen is touched. Details below:

    Device: iPhone 14 Pro
    Unity: 2020.3.46
    iOS: 16.4.1

    Please tell me this can be resolved within 2020.3?

    +1 This issue is present on:
    iPhone 14 Pro Max
    Unity 2021.3.21f1
    iOS 16.3.1

    When targeting 60fps, I get stutter and framerate drops whenever I touch the screen. This is happening on both of my games. Neither one does it when deployed to Android devices.

    The solution from FEELINSIDE below does not work for me. Neither does setting #define ENABLE_DISPLAY_LINK_PAUSING to 0

    I have posted workaround on forum: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/ios-target-fps-is-ignored-on-iphone-13-pro

    We can force "targetFPS = maxFPS" in "Classes/UnityAppController+Rendering.mm" and it goes way more better.

    Also having this issue. Any time I'm touching the screen, fps drops to 30 instead of 60 (or to 60 instead of 120). Extremely terrible to see the issue is still active.

    My game has 5 ms render time and I set application.targetframerate to 120 and it actually causes the game to stutter between 60 and 120. Setting the target frame rate to 60 fixed it but its frustrating since we should be able to do 120 easily.

    +1. This seems to be an issue with builds using URP.
