iOS 7 Animations Get in the Way

You'd have a point apart from the fact that Apple doesn't read this site, plus most the people posting here (me included) aren't actually devs, so therefore won't be reporting the bugs to Apple in the correct way.

There's quite a few devs on this site actually. And I meant traffic for MacRumors... don't care what Apple does. Of course... how do we know what they're doing online? I think there's a very good likelihood Apple scours places like these for complaints. It's one of many places they can acquire information on bugs. That's just an idea, though.

This is one of the biggest forums that's dedicated to all things Apple, you'd think Apple would be wise to scour these forums and look for all the tiny details that people find fault with that their own testers might have missed.

I doubt they do for bugs in a beta, when there's official feedback channels for devs to report bugs......
 
So, what did you guys think of beta 3? I can't find out if the animations are now faster or they just feel less intrusive because the Phone is snappier as a whole.

Do you guys know if they changed any configuration regarding the animations length?

I agree completely, it's one of the things I noticed the first day I installed it on my daily driver i5. Really hoping it's sped up 3X in final release too!

Same. Probably my first bug-a-boo I noticed after updating to iOS 7. No doubt in my mind this will be sorted out by the public release date.

I've noticed the difference on my iPhone 5. If it's sluggish, it's probably beta glitch, try restarting phone or failing that, clean install.

I just did a clean install, maybe I shouldn't call it sluggish but I just haven't noticed the speed improving from the previous beta.

Well we're not in the "Starving African Child" forum here so it's relevant as it's an Apple iOS issue.

For me Beta 3 seems solid and stable, feels like release quality in terms of performance for the first time, tweaks and UI improvements aside it seems smooth and quick on the iP5.

Animations are good 500 ms too slow.

500msec? Hell mine dont seem to take that long to play in total (Opening/closing a folder or app), with the exception of unlocking the phone which may take 750msec or so. iPhone 5 here, so slower 4/4S's may be slower to complete though.

I do agree they still need to be speeded up a little more, and have an option to disable them too, but I don mind them at the moment, but expect the GM version to be much faster as it will likely have less debug code and watch programs in it
 
Those with speed issues, which phones are you running? I find it very quick on iP5. Remember some animations are basically in place of a loading screen for apps, they are a slight distraction while the phone boots up the app rather than displaying a static screen.

Yes, because overall UI feel and user experience is not optimal.

On my 4S the animation when entering app folder is ~1150 ms.

The animations are still way too slow (in length, not performance) in b3.

Yes they are. It's getting tiresome looking at these animations when going from folder to folder or back to home screen.

I have to agree. (I'm testing on one of our iPads) And, after watching Apple's promotional video, I realize that the animations on the iPad are the same exact speed as what I am watching in the video.

The problem is, in practice, they're just too slow. Not slow as a graphically taking time to paint on the screen, but slow as in they have to many frames and they are just too long. Interactions with the user interface moving from say a folder, to an app, to multitasking, shouldn't add literally seconds of wait time to see things flying across the screen. These should be almost instantaneous, as they were on iOS 6.

I don't think it's a bug, but a design problem. Nevertheless, I will file a bug report and see what they have to say; at least it will get it in their mindset.
