Why iOS 7 will drive some of you nuts: UI lag due to slow animations [video inside]

People other than you. This whole "it doesn't apply to me therefore it shouldn't be fixed" mentality is annoying as hell and you should be ashamed.
Okay in the first video you started swiping before the apps had all fallen into place. No wonder the page did not swipe to the next set of Apps. If this is in fact an "issue" then my only suggestion to Apple would be to have the option to turn off animations. Keep in mind that Apps fell into place in similar fashion in iOS 6 once the phone was unlocked.
The unlock lag is most apparent if you put every app in a folder. The screen unlocks and for a brief moment you can't do anything even if there is no animation to wait for. Try it
You have to admit, the animation is still unacceptably slow.
Also on iOS 6, apps fall into place all at once, simultaneously, whereas on iOS 7, they fall into place one by one, kinda 'row by row'.
All Apple need to do is speed it up.
The animation takes long to animate and there's processing lag which is shown in the videos, all takes away from the user experience of enjoyment.
The IP5 on iOS6 is super nice; the moment you tapped on anything, it's already loaded by the time you lift your finger off the screen.

The multitasking video is how it works in iOS 6. It's because the apps aren't "running" in the background so they take a little time to get back into a "running" state. Nothing to fix there.
The unlock one however is infuriating when you live with iOS 7 and needs to be fixed. iOS 6 lets you swipe to other home screen pages before the animation is finished.

Hmm one of those two things happens in iOS 6 too and I've never noticed it before, so I guess this wont affect me at all.
When you switch to an app using the app switcher it suffers the same lag, but when you unlock the device you can swipe about instantly.
Another one, is press the home button to minimise an app and try to scroll the home screens; it won't let you for about a second.

With a difference that your approach leaves something that bothers people out while his makes (hopefully) apple to fix it and let others have a good experience while you stay unaffected.
Ignorance ain't a bliss dude.
If we can't discuss these things here then where can we?
We all know what a BETA is, we all get that, so i suggest if you see a thread that isn't something you're interested in, just don't click it.
The unlock animation has been slow for all 6 BETA's, and as we get closer to the GM it's becoming a concern that either, Apple won't fix it, or more worryingly, Apple doesn't see it as a problem.
I have no clue why, but my 4S 32Gb doesn't have any lag at all...
Upgraded from iOS 6.1.1 to 7b1 and have been updating ever since, no clean installs or nothing. iPhone is filled for 29Gb's with loads of apps, pics, music, etc...
No animations lags anymore, the early beta's were slow, but now all the lag is gone, not for spotlight, unlocking, nothing...
Must say I have the parallax thingie disabled cause I don't like the background moving, and I disabled the background refresh feature to save battery.

Multitasking lag was present in iOS 6 as well.
I agree with the unlock animation.

Nobody, but the video shows that during an animation you could have easily swiped through three different screen. It shows that the delay is quite big.
^ This was along the lines of what I was gonna say,
But yeah I see 100% why this is absolutely catastrophic and gonna ruin Apple's image. If you are held at gunpoint by robbers who say that unless you can beat their high score at Angry Birds (which is on page 9 of their iPhone, inside a folder) within 30 seconds, they will kill you. Those extra 2 seconds could make all the difference...
This "lag" has been present since beta 1. Why are you now complaining about it.

When you live with iOS 7 it becomes annoying.
Sure we're talking first world problems here, but things should get faster as we move forward, not slower. And if you unlock your iPhone 30 times a day (And thats being VERY conservative) it adds up and it becomes annoying.
So if somebody hasn't mentioned something by now, we can never discuss it?
So what if the OP only now made this topic, so what, if you're not interested in it just move along.
Because I was quite certain that by around 5th or 6th beta, the issue would have been long resolved.
