What needs to happen is zipping in and out of apps should be fast.

And how exactly is that "by the same thinking" as me? It looks to me like you mean "by the complete opposite thinking".

Now I see the error of my ways!I assumed your thinking was about not rushing through life and enjoying it, so it would seem like enjoying the meaningful moments of life would fit into that thinking, meaning that it would be better not to spend more time on anything that's essentially meaningless (in order to have more time for meaningful things), which in turn fits in with that thinking.And how exactly is that "by the same thinking" as me? It looks to me like you mean "by the complete opposite thinking".

Now, if that thinking is purely about enjoying any part of life, no matter how meaningless it is, then, no, it doesn't fit into that, but I don't think anyone would really want to "enjoy" spending more time on meaningless things (nor would there be any enjoyment to gain from that really), at least it certainly would make little to no sense to the vast majority of people when it comes to that.
Totally agree. I've never even noticed this until now. I guess I don't start swiping like a psycho the millisecond after I come out of sleep or switch apps as shown in the videos.
Scenario:
You are at home eating breakfast buritos when a news report comes on A LOCAL PSYCHO has broken out of CRAZY PERSON PRISON!
Just then a man with a AX breaks down your door! You try and unlock your iPhone to see if this man is the Psycho but THE ANIMATIONS ARE TOO SLOW.
He knocks over your plate and AXES YOU TIL YOU DIE. It was the Psycho (!!!) but now you're DEAD AND YOU HAVE EGG ON YOUR FACE.
Change your mind yet!!! APPLE is playing with our lives. Let's go to Cupertino and pass out flyers!
I think I saw this on Sesame Street this morning...
Elmo was also unhappy with the animations.

I'm kinda psycho and even I don't swipe that fast...

If these arguments haven't convinced everyone, nothing will.
Well, in order for something to be considered art it must have no purpose other than itself, no function. And this has quite literally has no function whatsoever for .8 seconds, but then again, it's Jony Ive's work we're talking about here.
It's not a bug, it's
Art and OS functionality/usability really shouldn't be related, at the very least certainly not when something like art would come at some cost of essentially intrinsic and inherent OS concepts like functionality and usability.
Apple don't read these forums. They don't take feedback from these forums infact that couldnt care less about these forums. You want to let Apple know about an issue (bugs or whatever) send them a bug report where they will actually read it!!
I dont think if some psycho axed your door your gonna unlock ur iPhone and check if hes the psycho as a matter of fact your going to run like a little girl or face him like a man not unlock ur device.....
Wrong! Most people would try to take a nice picture of him and Instagram it.
"Me and the Axe psycho, gonna die xoxoxoxoxo" :-(
Wow that actually makes sense how could i have forgotten, instagram and social networking comes first we gotta share the moment, let the world know iam going to get slaughtered
This actually does drive me nuts, and has since beta 1. I hate that I have to wait for the animation to finish.
Speaking of animations, I also hate the "fade in/out" animation when waking/sleeping the device. I very much preferred the instant on and off of previous iOS. It fits much better with the solid click of the Power button. Now it just feels delayed and slow.

Ha HA. You think everything is games and dancing, but I didn't tell you the whole story.
Scenario (appendex):
You are BETA testing the new iOS but something is wrong. The slow animations are MAKING FUN WITH YOUR MIND!!!
It eventually drives you CRAZY! That's right! YOU are the PSYCHO. ORIGIN STORY!!!!!
You escaped from CRAZY PERSON JAIL when the guard tried to unlock his phone. HE just wanted to check Facebook but now he is FACEDEAD.
Phil Schiller is laughing. This serious matter is costing us lives! Maybe BUG REPORT it?
SEE!!!!!!!!!
See, I love all the new color, animations, and special fx. iOS seemed too DOS like before. I understand wanting to get crap done, but live a little people...Humans are all artistic to some degree. iOS 7 looks ALIVE!
Longer animations don't really make it look alive, nor is it something that's actually useful for a mobile device. The vast majority of people don't have and use a mobile device for some sort of pretty looks it provides while using it to actually do something (and if they are, while it's certainly up to them, it's not the primary or even the secondary use for such devices anyway).
Link to your sources please?
I'm guessing you don't dress to impress, do you?
Edit: tell that to the car industry.
Yes, function over form. The fact that it's form over function when it comes to various other things, doesn't mean that it's actually good or better, does it? That said, if the form doesn't really interfere with the function, then by all means.
Hmm...What IF, the majority of iOS users ARENT hindered by this "lag" and DO appreciate the glitter?
I do agree that if Apple can easily allow you to "skip" the animation, then they should.
I guess it doesn't impact those people, but it still doesn't mean that it's actually good/better. Just because some (even a majority) aren't bothered by something, doesn't mean it's actually good or at least could (and probably still should) be better, right? So, yeah, maybe not a widespread issue or something people would really care about, but it is there and it can definitely be better in general (and of course for those who would care about it).
Scenario:
You are on the International Space Station (ISS!!) watching Community reruns on Hulu. Suddenly you see a MASSIVE SPACE ASTEROID heading for Earth!!!
You grab your iPhone to warn the President but UH-OH those animations!!! Too slow. And now the asteroid has DESTROYED THE PLANET. You could have been the SAVIOR OF MANKIND, but thanks to Tim Cook's ego you will DIE ALONE in the HORRIBLE DARKNESS.
Still think this is funny? Thanks to people like you the humans are dead and Hulu isn't working. No more COMMUNITY!!!!
Let's DO SOMETHING!!! Kickstarter?
