Android had audio latency issues for a long time, and I think they were originally related to the fact that Linux also had high latency audio. I was under the impression that these were much better now:

I haven't heard about issues with latency in iOS audio, but the iPhone 8 is certainly not "modern". Are you using bluetooth headphones? Which apps are you using to play the audio?

Yes, I was using Bluetooth headphones at the moment. I don't have the app name at hand, but I know that the app is also a file manager.

So there's probably jitter in my headphones, or the app was not suppose to do music playback smoothly because that's not its main usage.
