"lol" read the post I replied to and you'll see that my post is perfectly relevant to the point made by the user who made it (hint: that person wasn't you).
The guy even replied to me saying his home button speed was set to slow, thus causing it. Go troll someone else.

Anyway, I hadn't even noticed this until I seen this thread. For what it's worth, open and close the same app twice in succession, the animation is fine second time round ... it's hardly hellish first time though.
Some seriously anal people on here. Just enjoy the phone eh?

Opinions don't mean much. If you don't have the lag then prove it with a video. Otherwise, what you're saying is irrelevant.
It's not though. It's a completely different animation.
The animation on the left is iPhone 7 Plus with 10.1 beta 2 and the one on the right is what it's supposed to look like (according to every non iPhone 7 device running any version of iOS 10)

For what it's worth, I'd been holding off updating to 10.1 beta 2, as the only reason I updated from 10.0.2 to beta 1 was in hopes that they cleaned up the app closing animation, but hadn't. So I rolled back to 10.0.2 and sat on the fence after beta 2 came out as there were mixed reports as to whether it improved the closing animation lag/glitch/whatever.
Well, I took the plunge after seeing enough people say they noticed at least some improvement and I can attest that on my iPhone 7 128GB, the closing animation feels and looks MUCH improved to me from 10.0.2 and 10.1 beta 1. There's still that bit of slower then speed up to compensate deal here and there (I'd say only about 10% - 20% of the time so far..have been testing it over and over under a variety of scenarios) but even when it does this, the entire animation from start to finish seems much snappier. As in I barely even notice it now. Before it was mildly (but regularly) irritating.
Though in a perfect world, I'd still love it to be 100% consistent speed wise from start to finish (yeah the one dude has shown slowed down how the wallpaper doesn't come up at the correct time or whatever compared to all previous models) - at this point, they've improved it enough on my device to where I no longer consider it an issue.
Granted it has only been a couple hours and I will make a follow up post if anything changes but as I said, I've been testing it vigorously for the whole couple of hours and there's no question that there is a perceivable difference FOR ME on my 7.
I don't have any plans to try and make a video, I run a business and have two young children at home and don't have the time nor the energy to make that happen. Never done it before, I'm sure it's not complicated but I don't really care to try and convince anyone about my sane / rational observations. Choose not to believe me if you like. But I DEFINITELY saw and was bothered by these animations since the first day I got my new 7 on launch day and today has been the first day that I feel like it's finally transitioning through animations like I'd reasonably expect an Apple flagship device to do.

You don't have to make a video. I've already done all the hard work.
They literally only fixed 1 frame. It used to drop one frame on 10.0.2 and now it doesn't drop any frames. However, it still starts off slow and speeds up, but the wallpaper still starts and ends too late making it look strange.
What's strange is the animation variation between devices. It's a different animation used. Very strange. It's almost as if the wrong animation file was put on the 7 firmware. What's even more strange is that they fixed the dropped frame, instead of using the animation found on other iPhones. Logically, I can't break this one down.
I'm still getting general glitchiness with the task switcher animation. Sometimes it gets stuck mid animation for a couple of seconds before it corrects itself.
I don't think this is how Apple intended it to be. It's the ONLY area in the iPhone 7 that I feel is inferior to literally EVERY OTHER iOS DEVICE ON THE MARKET.

I also noticed this. And in top of that I've also found games lag in the iPhone 7 compared to my older iPhone 6s Plus (Super Hexagon specifically).
I don't know if this is a software related issue but I hope so. Regardless of this I'm very happy with my iPhone and I wouldn't want to return it.

Agreed, I'm super happy with the iPhone 7 Plus; just would like to see this issue worked out, and I'm sure it will be! Right now it's just an annoyance when I close an app, but no biggie
Last week I discovered a bug, and it was with the iPhone version came factory installed.
He had at home a black 7 plus 256, 6 and 7 64GB plus 256 plus silver
In 7 6 plus black and animation to return to home was instant.
In the silver she had a delay of about half a second.
If you were going to the menu of double click speed in the 3 phones in the slower speed would like, in the middle was the same, but in the fast, iphone 7 plus silver went slower, some faster than medium but not instant.
Upgrade to 10.02 from phone (came with 10.01) itself and was still going on.
Restore data and contents and the same
I installed the beta profile and 10.1 beta1 and was the same.
Until 10.02 download from itunes and format the phone, the home button works perfectly
I suspect that the version put in the factory is not exactly the same (even comes with Pages, Numbers, Keynote standard)

I had a really hard time following that.
Are you saying that the OS shipped with the iPhone 7 is bad and you have to completely format the device and reinstall iOS 10.0.2 to get the smooth animation back?
By the way, going to the home screen is instant, it just animates strangely. I don't think formatting my iPhone is going to help anything.
It is rather sad that the iPhone 7 isn't consistent with the other devices though. The opening animation is one smooth motion, but the closing animation looks like it goes from slow to fast and then the wallpaper has to play catch-up at the end. It's pretty sloppy looking to me.
Yep it's still not fixed on beta 3. I think it's actually worse than beta 2. It looks like it's dropping a frame again on top of the weird animation.
Anandtech explained it pretty well, why this is happening only on the iphone 7.

That's a perfect explanation for the oddity we're seeing and it makes sense. It would be nice if they could make the wallpaper stop at the same time as everything else though.
Also, is there any reason a phone with a mechanical button cannot do this? Obviously the iPhone 7 doesn't wait for a second click before animating, but why is that a "7 only" feature?
Could they not start the animation immediately on the first click on a 6s and then interrupt the animation if a second click is entered mid-way through?
