The new reduced animations in 7.0.3 are so much better then the slow trickle animations of the past. Everything is 2-5x faster to accomplish now. I can tap on a folder and interact with the icons instantly, I can get to the home screen twice as fast. Finally Apple gets it right with animations, might not even need to JB now.
 
It's definitely a very good thing they were able to add/improve.
 
Can you turn motion off completely?

Dissolve is massively better though
 
Great news. Perhaps this is what they meant when they addressed the changes to "Reduce Motion" in the changelog.
 
Ok, so what about for those of us who still like the animations? Are they at least faster? What about the choppy iPad gestures , fixed?
 
There still seems to be a .5 sec window where the animation used to end where you can't e.g. swipe to the next pane though :(
 
I updated to 7.0.3, then turned animations back on and noticed that they seem much choppier than before the update.

Did they tell you that you were pretty much the first person to send this in?

We live in an age of me first. 99.9% of people who think they're first at something are not.

Exactly my point.....I read that and said, "so?"

The animation is completely different, it's beautiful.

EDIT: I mean, with reduce motion "on" it's like there's no animation but in a way it looks better for me.

Yeah im asking about how they are with the motion still on....Im very happy with them they just needed to be a TAAAAD faster.
 
IMO the animation when you open up the app switcher really looks out of place now. It should have a similar dissolve animation.
 
Can anyone upload a video please? 7.0.3 is not showing to me so I can't update yet. Thanks in advance!
