Working well for me. No battery drain. 100 > 98 percent overnight. Set up as new. iPhone 7 Plus running great.
To all the fools saying it was apple hardware making it slow can shut up lol now its fixed only toke 5 months lol
I've met many of them in this very thread. But apple always seems to surprise us don't they.
I never thought it was a hardware issue, but I knew they changed the animation on purpose due to how fast the home button responds and they wanted to make it so that you could inturrupt the animation if you clicked again while the app was already closing. They just had to refine it and they probably didn't see it as a top priority for 10.1 or 10.2. They're slowly making iOS 10 a great OS, but I just wish it was more polished BEFORE it was released.
Well, I don't think that's true anymore. I think it was just rubbish quality of apple's software.
You can still experience this kind of new apple quality in horizontall app switcher. Wtf is that animation
I guess its going to take them another 5 months to fix it or the speed at which different elements open, like the app opening animation and folder animation. Why aren't all opening animations taking exactly the same time? It used to be like that in iOS6 - the last iOS that gave the user that "feel". It just felt right and classy. Maybe they started to hire Samsung engineers ;D but no, even Samsung would not do what apple is doing now with user experience quality.

You're actually incorrect in your thinking.
They changed the animation because the older hardware (with a hardware button) would force the OS to WAIT for a SECOND click of the home button before doing ANYTHING at all. Once the phone detected that there was no second click, it would proceed with the animation of the app closing. However, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus respond IMMEDIATELY on the first click (no waiting) so they had to design an animation that was capable of being INTERRUPTED by a second click. That's why when you double click, the app close animation starts, but then it has to SNAP into the app switcher. Do you see what I'm saying? That's why the animation started out a bit slower... to be able to catch the second click and try to snap into app switcher mode MID ANIMATION.
I'm not yelling by the way, I'm just trying to emphasize the key words to try and make it clear as possible.
The older iPhones and iPads did this:
1. User clicks home button
2. iPhone doesn't do anything, but instead waits for a second click (a few milliseconds)
3. No second click? START GOING HOME!
4. If a second click is detected in the allotted time frame, it simply displays the app switcher
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus did this (prior to 10.3)
1. User clicks home button
2. iPhone immediately starts going home (without waiting for a second click)
3. User clicks a second time
4. iPhone has to switch gears on the fly and try to display the app switcher mid-animation.
5. There's no simple way to transition from zooming out and showing the app switcher, so that's why it looks like it jumps a bit.
That's as broken down as I can make it. I hope this post helps you and others.
I downloaded the beta and it feels very fast and smooth when opening and closing apps. Also noticed that the scrolling through the messages list doesn't lag at all. I did however noticed that the folder animation looks a bit choppy when opening the folders. Is it just me or did anyone else noticed this?
Same phones amazing now apart from folders i think its a beta 1 problem it will get better over time
Installed public beta. As already mentioned the app close animation is fixed which is nice. But that's the only improvement I've noticed.
Scrolling through the apps in the multitasking app switcher hasn't improved and still seems a bit choppy.
Still often get the weird bounce animation when double pressing the home button to bring up the app switcher while in an app.
Opening and closing a folder animation is slower.

Oh my god! THEY FIXED IT!
It was a pleasure meeting you guys! See you in September for the iOS 11 bugs
Now I can show my friends the "new" iPhone 7 without saying: Yeah the lag is a feature!

and this is why i have reduce motion enabled either way, just looking at the fade in and out makes me dizzy (exaggerated)
Technically speaking the fading is more in line with what's used when reduce motion is enabled compared to movement/zooming that's there normally. I have reduce motion enabled for more or less similar reasons myself as well.
I don't know if this is a thing but I get phone sickness when reduce motion is off. I have to keep it on. Especially if I'm a passenger in a car, the animations will make me feel absolutely ill to my stomach. They've become a bit more exaggerated in this beta as well (Just my opinion).
It's definitely something for some people (for some to a much larger extent than others), and it's essentially the main reason why that setting exists.
Do you feel iOS 10 animation has made that worse, or the same than previous iOS versions?
Well, correct me if I'm wrong. The new animation works exactly the same as the old one. The old one was rubbish. The new one is not.
Apple did **** job.
Worse. Most likely because they seem to have sped up. So it's like experiencing an optical roller coaster, so more nauseating.
