"If the animations were sped up I think it would not only help the phone seem more responsive, but would also help with the motion sickness issues. At their current speed, its just slow enough for your eyes to track the movement which I think is what is causing all the naseau. Any faster and it would just zip by without your eyes trying to follow the icon movement. As has been noted, there were animations with iOS6, but they were much faster.
I'm no developer, but I would think from a programming standpoint it would be much easier to increase the speed of the animations already in place, rather than rewrite a new button to "disable animation" and work it in to all areas of the OS."
Could not agree more. Why do I have to disable all "eye candy" effects? Speeding them up will do the trick. Even zooming to a particular icon on the screen should not be a problem once speed/smoothness of animations are tweaked.
What makes me really wonder is how come a freaking richest company in the world did not test this????!!!!
Who are their QAs????
How come nothing like this happened when Steve was around.
I am forever grateful to Apple for changing our lives forever in the way we did not know was possible, but come on!!!!
Get your **** together Apple!
I'd rather switch to android and customize it to my liking :)
