    Hi recently just started with IOS builds so I'm new to Xcode and IOS development. I've deployed to an IPhone 5, 6 and and IPad Air 2. The 6 and IPad work flawlessly without game breaking frame rate drops or freezes. The IPhone 5 however starts having hickups real fast and every few seconds will freeze for about a second. How is the best way to debug what is causing the slowdowns (i.e. memory vs processor overload)?

    My guess is that you have a garbage collection problem..as the hiccups appear at an interval...ie when the garbage collection kicks in. So you can use the unity profiler to see...also so read up/google about minimising garbage collection in unity.

    I de/spawn almost everything using pooling systems, very little instantiating/destruction going on, I have droid phones with similar specs that run it much better, the choppiness on the iPhone 5 is a little bizarre. Thanks tho I'll look into better optimization/garbage collection
