You can't double press as fast on the 6s since you are physically pushing a button down, so it would be harder to double press in time to interrupt the animation and get to the app switcher.
Got a tip for us?

Are you for real right now? I can double click just as fast on my iPhone 6 as my iPhone 7. Pressing the button twice rapidly is not a hard task.
My YouTube app works fine. Are you sure you didn't accidentally open youtube from a browser and when you click home, it brings to you the page that Safari was launched from?
This happens when you use any app that wasn't launched from the home screen. You always return to the page that you were last on, so if you close youtube, but youtube was not on the home page you were last on, it will do the fly-in animation as if you just unlocked your phone.
No, I'm not talking about that animation (app to app) - I'm on iOS 10.1 (beta 3) and like other beta's it close the YouTube and Instagram apps like lockscreen to home screen animation. Also my battery app (Battery Doctor - Master of Battery Maintenance) does it on 7 Plus, but not on my 6s Plus. Most apps is using the same animation. Safari on my iPhone 6s Plus also does it :O wierd! That's on 10.1 (beta 2)

That's because YouTube is in a closed folder.
You always return back to the last home screen you had showing when you last launched an app. It has to do that animation because it can't animate into the closed folder.
The crazy thing is that my wife's ip7 is fast as can be with no lag and my ip7+ 128gb had no lag issues until I updated to iOS 10.0.2. Then I downgraded to iOS 10.0.1 and still have the lag issue. I wish I never updated
As I can see, all apps (that's in folders) use that close animation. That's just stupid, it feels weird..but first noticed it now. Apps from home screen doesn't use that animation, I still think Apple should do something about it. Because when using apps from switcher, it feels odd with the different close animations, just because some apps is in a folder and others are not.
I reset all setting but I forgot if it was before or after. Does it make a difference
It should because you're going to a different device. Try doing it again to see if the results are any different.
Agreed. I'm a little late to the game, as I just got my 7 yesterday and am starting to finally mess around with it now.
I've got my 6s next to me, both running beta 3 now. I thought everybody here was absolutely insane about this animation thing, until I cracked open my 7 and now see it first hand. The closing animation does in fact on b3 start slow, then rapidly speed up. However, if you close an app about a second or two after opening, the animation is identical to every other iOS device on any iOS version.
Also, the app tray animation is driving me insane now as well. The weird jump that you see when invoking the app switcher while inside any app is just odd. I've noticed that the animation is normal when invoking the switcher from the home screen, but it does in fact make a jumping type of effect when you invoke from within any app. My 6s cannot reproduce this at all, which leads me to believe this HAS to be something to do with the new home button. Is also noticed that if you double press slowly, on the first depress, the closing animation begins immediately, and as soon as you depress the second time, the app switcher invokes, jumping the app that you're currently in slightly upwards, before sliding over.
No one said it was hard. It's just hard(er) to double press as fast. If you just try pressing the button as fast as possible for about 5 seconds, it becomes immediately obvious (to me anyways) that I can trigger the iPhone 7 home button far faster than I can the iPhone 6. I can get that thing going like a machine gun.
Okay, so just going off of my last post - this clearly has to do with the new home button.
I say that again, because I am now seeing that when you open an app, and then immediately double click to invoke the switcher, the app will first close completely, and then the app switcher opens.
Also, if you switch between apps, and immediately double click - nothing happens. Unless you wait a second or two for the view controller to completely load the requested app.
EDIT: Sorry, I thought I was in another thread! I realize now that you guys aren't specifically talking about the closing animation, which I am also seeing a huge difference between my 7 and 6s. When I first cracked my 7 outta the box, I was actually kind of disgusted at the closing animation that wasn't present within the OS that the phone shipped with...just very sloppy looking! I suppose this may also have to do with the new home button not being a physical button...but who knows.

Worked!
Still maybe a slight lag but nothing compared to what it was!
Victim to having to restore your phone to fix a problem that isn't resolved, only to find yourself in the same situation as before.
Without being sarcastic, I'm happy it helped your phone. However, telling people to reset all of their settings is a troublesome process for many and doesn't fully alleviate the problem. There is no solution yet, as the animation issue is still present. In your case, you may have seen an improvement....but that's specific to your device and should not be done for other users.
The animation and lag issues are completely different. Nothing helps the animation issue as of yet, but the lag that some people are experiencing is definitely helped by Reset All Settings. Not to be confused with Restoring your phone. In the case of Reset All Settings no information is deleted and all settings are returned to factory default. This is a great fix for most of the issues people experience when restoring to a new device.
