It's not a bug you dope. It's a simple change of the animation timing that they have been tweaking though the beta process.
Next time try 80 point font you might get some more attention.
Got a tip for us?

Just because there are those who think there's not much point to longer and extra animations that accomplish nothing but do sacrifice some usability, doesn't mean that somehow iOS isn't for those people. There are decision choices that are made that can be discussed and even criticized without simply turning ones back on the larger part of it all (the OS itself).

What makes you think that feedback about this hasn't already been submitted to Apple (on more than one occasion more than likely).
It's not a bug, it's the balance between usability and eye candy that Apple thinks is appropriate. You may or may not agree, but there is no way they can make every user happy.
But to think that they are hammering out code struggling to speed up animations is somewhat funny. They can do it, the switch is already there and they can flip it at anytime to increase or decrease animation speed as they deem necessary, but they feel (at the time of the current release) it is appropriate.

The animation speed i.e. duration is great. HOWEVER IT BLOCKS 'USER INTERACTION'. It didn't happen in older versions of iOS.
Oh, I had no idea that you were an Apple dev? Thank God someone here TRULY knows what the REAL reason is...
This is unrealistic, the unlocking at least. The multitasking is more understandable.
I don't really see how the unlocking part is going to affect real world usage. The multitasking is more understandable but still, not that big of a deal.
you're making mountains out of molehills here.

I'm actually a developer and tested this quite a bit. Everything is "loaded" within milliseconds of turning the screen on, with the exception of apps (if you locked the phone in the middle of using an app). The animations don't do anything.
But go ahead and keep being sarcastic. Makes you look so precious to the argument.
Scenario:
You are going to ask your girlfriend to marry you, so you take her to lookout point and YOU GUESSED IT....
MOLE PEOPLE jump out. You whip your iPhone and try call for help but the animations are too slow. Its iOS 7's fault your girl is KIDNAPPED.
They release her a week later, but she was Stockholm'd and doesn't want to marry you anymore.
Now you are going to DIE ALONE. Thanks, Steve Jobs! Still think MOLEHILLS are no big deal!!!
What a ridiculous thread. OP is trying to drive his car without starting his engine. Did he complain about that to the manufacturer?
The lag is introduced by himself. If he waits about half a second (huhuh, that's long) everything works ok.

Way to completely misunderstand the situation and to go further down the wrong path based on that misunderstanding. A+
I think it's fair to say that in the unlock video, there's one swipe that should definitely work that doesn't. It should be possible to change the page the moment the animation completes without any delay. If that's an artificial limit (not the phone actually lagging) then it should be fixed.
But maybe it was just a one-off issue that didn't register that final swipe that didn't work?

If you'd allow .5 seconds for the animation to finish like your hand-eye coordination dictates, you wouldn't even have a problem here.

The unlock animation (where the icons fall onto the screen like raindrops) is one of the longest in iOS 7. We shouldn't have to wait for it to complete in order to swipe to the next page if we want.
Just to be clear: I'm not saying the animation is too long or too slow. I'm saying I'd like to be able to interrupt it by swiping to the next page before it finishes.

No, I really won't update then. Rubbish..? Are you able to read peoples minds or something?
It still wouldn't change the fact that in iOS 7 (so far) animations are longer without any adding anything useful.
Do what? How is it (whatever it is) related to what's being discussed in this thread?I can't do it.
Yeah, at the very least it will get annoying over time.
The responsiveness of the interface is one of the reasons why iOS is/was so amazing. It took a long time for Android to catch up, so that you felt like you were actually manipulating objects with your finger, instead of entering commands and waiting for the GUI to catch up.
This is not quite the same thing, but it really shouldn't be necessary to wait 2 seconds for unlock animations to complete.
Generally, it's not a big deal IMO. But sometimes you really are in a hurry, on the run, needing to get at something on your phone...why add unnecessary time for users to be able to use their phone?
The first couple of sarcastic examples of getting hit by a truck or attacked by a bear were kinda funny, but not really necessary any more.
This would be nice.

Because it's how this stuff gets fixed, by people so called "b!tching."
If no one ever said anything and just treated betas by how you want them to then most stuff would never get fixed. That's how bugs and issues in Betas get fixed most of the time in software...
