Lag-free iPhone 7 Plus Wallpapers (for iOS 10.2 and up)

Ok guys I have solved the problem. For those of you wishing to use those wallpapers that causes the 'lag', download this app called 'Image File Converter'. Use the app to 're-convert' the file into JPEG and the lag should be removed.
I'm guessing PNG files that are expanded color gamut. I noticed that when I saved certain colorful images as JPEG, the colors muted a little bit and then it was smooth. Since the iPhone 7 and 7+ can now display expanded gamut color, maybe certain colors are harder to render than others and thus causes the slight frame drops.
iphone 7 plus "dropping frames" cause of a wallpaper...
just, no.. any iphone "lagging" from a still non live image thats not actively rendered, just no.. but thanks for the 7 plus res wallpapers nevertheless

I've tested it myself, and some walls have the lag effect and others don't. Especially with folders and certain apps.
Just because it seems like it shouldn't do it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It has been tested time and time again and while it's gotten better in the latest version, there are still some wallpapers that still cause frame drops. We're trying to figure it out and as someone posted earlier, when you convert the image to a JPEG, I'm assuming it gets rid of the expanded gamut color and no longer makes the phone stutter. I've tested it myself and can confirm that it does work.
That's impossible. The iPhone 7 Plus is so powerful that it cannot lag whatsoever!
</sarcasm>
Well, seems like it's not really a device performance issue but some sort of a bug or glitch with dealing with certain image types/compressions.
I know. I was pretending to be one of those people who don't believe me when I say the 7 Plus is dropping frames. They think it simply cannot happen.
