7 weeks later, those animations are getting worse and worse.

We have mentioned the problem several times in this thread.

The problem is that each action takes longer time than in previous iOS versions. After several actions, you've lost a lot of time. Time that could have been spent accessing your data instead of waiting for it.

The fix is as easy as increasing animation speed!

Don't come and say that we should buy another phone. We are having actual problems with our favourite phone and OS - there's is no better OS or phone, so there's nowhere to go! We are upset because our favourite OS got downgraded.

Well...

1. For me it's not a solution.
2. Apple did not design iOS to have these fades, that's merely a quick fix. It's actually a step back from iOS 6. I'm guessing Apple doesn't like them that much either.

Not saying you're wrong, but I am saying that is not a real solution. If it works for you, that's fine, but it's not a real solution, it's a fix.

Haven't you read all the replies, OP? Good news! Your problem isn't really a problem at all. That's how things go here at MacRumors Forums. :rolleyes:

A problem clearly exists for some users. Don't play dumb. :)

The five finger gesture animation on the iPad is still buggy too by the way, even on the iPad Air. :(

I am very delighted with iOS 7. And I am getting so much sadistic pleasure reading about how people with your attitude are suffering under it. I think that's one of the best features of the new version.

Ha! Best post I've read in a while!

Ugh. Why do people keep coming up with these stupid questions when the problem is so obvious? Paralax has *nothing* to do with the 'snappiness'.

The problem is simple:

1. With iOS 6, the average animation duration was X seconds. Furthermore. you can interact with the OS while the animation is playing.
2. With iOS 7, the average animation duration is c*X seconds, c being a positive real number larger than 1. Furthermore, you can't interact with the OS while the animation is playing. The result is that for every animation, you have wait d=(number of animations)*(c-1) seconds longer. Since iOS 7 has lots of animations, the number d increases rather quickly, and during d seconds of your phone usage you have no other option than to wait for animations to finish.

This has NOTHING to do with 'reduce motion' or 'paralax'. The only thing 'reduce motion' does is reduce the value of a c a bit, however it STILL larger than 1 and you STILL can't interact with the OS while the animation is playing.

If that's not a problem to you, that's fine, but the facts are there and animations take way longer on iOS 7 than on iOS 6, you can't ignore that. So stop coming up with these lame excuses and act like nothing's changed, because it has and for a lot of people it's annoying. If you're not bothered, fine, move along, but don't act like people who are annoyed are just whining people who search for reasons to complain solely for the purpose of complaining, which is just not true.

I'm just a long time iPhone user who's always loved the iPhone far better than the competition, one of the major reasons being the snappiness. The snappiness has now been taken away and that bothers me.

I want to thank the original poster for bringing this topic up, I'm still on ios6 and have been an iPhone user for about a yr and half. What you posted above sounds very logical and thought out. I have seen so many videos on u tube of the new ios7 and I can see your point. I just don't understand why they didn't keep it the way it works in ios6. Why couldn't they have used the way it works in ios6 and just add the parallel affect. I have no problem with the parallel effect but the zooming open and close is worse than ios6 and the option they gave to the people who don't like that (the fade) is not a solution to the problem it's just a fix. They need to get rid of the lag time and increase speed of the animations.

I've been using ios6 for a yr and half and each time I open an app or swipe or close an app I'm not losing any time it just works and its fast. There is no waiting for anything. I can literally do things in seconds before i run off somewhere or run out the door or leave for work.

One of the main reasons I won't update to ios7 is because of the new music app but that's another topic. I wanted to love ios7 and jump right into it but I waited to see how it worked and how things changed and for what I've seen and read its just not a big improvement over ios6.

One of the reasons I jailbroke iOS6. Instant and blazing fast results with every touch.

The JB for iOS7 can't come soon enough. I suspect this will be one of the first apps to be ported over.
 
the new reduce motion doesn't really fix anything. I haven't measure the animations duration yet but i doubt that you have to wait the same amount of time... and tap twice for the device to register

To be fair, the look of something and the animations used are two different and really unrelated things.

And, realistically speaking, there are different groups of people--those who didn't have any issues with iOS 6 design, those who wanted something new (just for the sake of it being new and nothing else), those who wanted something new for some actual reasons, etc.--so different groups can complain about different things at different times (depending on which thing is affecting them the most at that time).
