Interesting how different our experiences are. This is a two-month old iphone, fully patched and with very few apps installed. Same experience as my previous iphone and android phones. Just verified: I sat and watched the "loading" spinner for over three minutes before starting to write this response. No idea how long it actually took, but it finished with just a blank white page with a twitter logo and a search bar. Maybe it's my mobile network (AT&T), who knows. But the experience is basically unusable, and I see at least one other person in this thread mentioning the error that indicates requests are being throttled, so I know I'm not alone.

If you try it on wifi, is it still slow?
Yes, as mentioned, it's regardless of what kind of connection I'm on.
I find exactly the same thing with my iPhone too, and often on desktop via the web app. The SPA "loading" page will just spin indefinitely.
