The animation after unlock blocks page swipe... how to disable?

[C DM]

I dislike the new animations because I don't care for animations on my phone at all, and the new ones are more noticeable (for whatever reason), which makes that feeling of dislike that much more too-of-the-mind most of the time I use my phone.

It's not a killer issue, it's not a significant issue, but it is something that is worse than what it was like in iOS 6 and before. That's petty much all there is to it, at least on my part (and I'm sure at least some others).

I 100 % agree with those here thinking this is an issue. Usually when I unlock my device I already know which app I want to open, and often it's not on the first page. I used to be able to quickly swipe to the appropriate page but not anymore because the stupid animation needs to completely finish before I can do anything.

Take a look at the first-generation iPhone introduction from 2007. That's how fast it should be. There's just a simple fade-in effect to the unlock sequence. Very efficient and minimal.

The solution is to count to 5 and then swipe, works every time.

That's why it's called the iPhone 5S - because it takes 5Seconds to complete animations

Shut up and take my vote lol

You just don't get it, so no wonder you are making such stupid comments like this. The whole complaint is that the extra animations and seconds wasted awaiting for them to compete are causing issues. The seconds are being wasted waiting for animations when previously they weren't there and this wasted time is eating into their precious lifestyles. This is why it is suggested that everyone complaining should have SSDs as the same precious life seconds are being wasted waiting on load, launch, save, close, read, and shutdown times on their computers. Seconds wasted are seconds wasted no matter where they are wasted, phone or computer. If you won't accept them on one then why blindly accept them on another?

No, I get it. You're talking about desktop computers on a thread about the iPhone's slow unlock animation on the iOS 7 forum.

My computer runs just fine. The unnecessarily slow animation that prevents me from interacting with my phone every single time I unlock it? Annoying. If it doesn't bother you, move along. Leave the rest of us alone to complain amongst ourselves.

Yes I have to agree, I like the animations for the most part, but it is true that your actions should be able to interrupt/ignore the animation. At first I was disappointed with the lock screen fade-in because it isn't instantly up, and I turn my device on often just to see the time, and it took getting used to but I can live with that. I do believe despite the fact that it fades into the lock screen you can unlock your device and proceed to the home screen much faster than previous iOS versions, which is definitely a good thing (on top of the fact that the lock screen looks about a billion times better).

The thing is when you are unlocking and using your device day after day multiple times per day, the animations stopping you from instantly doing what you want can add up time wasted, not to mention the annoyance this brings (I can't deny it has been annoying). The point of the devices getting incrementally faster is to speed up things you do on them, even by the slightest amount. This adds up over time, just as animations stopping you from acting even for the smallest of time can add up, and be very annoying.

Anyone can test the animations stopping you from acting (just swipe down notification center and try to swipe over to today, all, or missed immediately, the bounce animation will not allow you to swipe over). Hopefully Apple will allow all these animations to be interrupted in 7.1 or so.

Don't like my arguments then just move along yourself. Computer, family, house, car, it doesn't matter what the item if the few extra seconds is hindering your life so poorly then you should be adjusting every other aspect as well (such as SSDs on computers as waking for sleep or booting up is a pain with a standard HDD).

 

[iAlphard]

Hate it too. All these stupid animation delays made it feels like a damn android. On iOS 6 it was seamless, the delay was calculated so precise it didn't interrupt user experience.

Thanks for your opinion. The rest of us who care about the issue (for whatever reason) can continue discussing it further.

When your argument is "Don't be annoyed by it, just change something else in your life," you won't have many supporters.

For every thread, there is always at least one "Issue doesn't bother me; therefore, it shouldn't bother you." troll.

That was not what it was saying at all. But you would already know that as you are the all knowing god of awesomeness that gets to decide whose points are valid and whose aren't.

Just like the troll for every post there is the chicken little that has the sky falling and the world ending because they are affected by a first world problem.

Sorry to have upset your ecosystem by presenting a different point of view or thought to your world that you felt the need to lash out.

Unfortunately for most threads these days there are far more than one or even a few of such posters. It's like they don't feel they have anything to complain about, but they feel a strong urge to complain still because without it they feel unfulfilled, so they seek out other people who actually feel they have something to complain about and pointlessly and relentlessly waste time simply complaining about those people's complaints.

A few seconds between each tap/click is different on a phone than on a computer. It's the delay of the input device that's the issue.

Many people use their phones on the go. An extra second between every single open/close app / unlock / etc adds up to a lot of extra time. More than anything, it ruins the flow because the OS no longer keeps up with you. You're always pausing to wait, when for the last few years, we never had to. Doesn't this go against Apple's philosophy of the device working seemlessly, without you having to focus on the device operation itself?

It's like saying that you don't type over 80 words per minute, so if they suddenly updated everyone's Apple Bluetooth keyboard to be limited to that speed, it's not a big deal. To many, it would be, because each unregistered key requires the recognition and decision to repeat instead of preparing for the next input.

Can anyone find a thread where people are requesting such an animation each time you activate your phone? I guess not.

For me the point is that this animation does not bring any value. It does not need to be there. I thought apple was about minimalistic design and a user friendly interface.

The animation is just fancy eye-candy and does not bring any value. And apparently it steals 1-2 s from the user.

 

[MisterPunchy]

I swapped my 5 for a non-updated one just because of this. The ONE thing apple have genuinely made worse/slower. Everything else I dealt with, even liked, but slowing the time I'm able to do anything is unacceptable.

I read this and laughed out loud. I thing that you should curb your use of caffeine / cocaine. a whole second (if that) and you are freaking out. Fck me I wouldn't want to be stuck in traffic with you, you must go fricking bananas and start sweating, shaking then attacking people.

lol... At least his screen name is appropriate! Drama, indeed.

 

[3lite]

Wow, that's animation is fast on my iphone 5. Are y'all using older phones?

No. It's a tolerance of standards that we have set for ourselves after using iOS 6 for so long. When we upgrade OS, we are looking for just that--upgrade. Not a downgrade in speed and fluidity.

 

[Grolubao]

Gotta love Fakeclockup!

Even in ios6 the animations were already slow, I cannot imagine ios7

+1 totally agree. I thought Jony Ive was all about "simplicity".

It's easy to be fast when your OS doesn't do much. The first phone didn't have apps so anything you wanted to do was on the first page.
