Make sure you update to 7.0.3 first.

Settings -> General ->Accessibility -> Reduce Motion -> On

Instead of the slow fancy animations, its just a quick fade-in. way more snappy imo, and its excellent for people with older hardware.

Quick vine showing how it looks.

Isnt it on by default? Was on my 5c

Samurai_Heart · Oct 23, 2013

Does it improve battery life? Might turn it on if it does.

I have no problem with the current "slow" animations but I'd turn them off if it saved battery life.

That just disables the parallax effect of the icons and background. I still get the animations when opening stuff.

This actually makes the phone speed up some.

Not after the 7.0.3 update.

Symphonia · Oct 23, 2013

Its had this since the beta, hasn't it?

smokeandmirrors · Oct 23, 2013

Mine update and had the fade in already. I did the whole 'reduce motion' thing so I thought the fade ins were standard

it is a lot better though. A lot.

Derp de derp. If I paid attention to the title I would have realized that. Double dumb ass on me for not noticing that. Thanks. I have had the reduce motion stuff off since launch, but don't know if I am on 7.0.3 or not. Shall double check now.

Lima · Oct 23, 2013

Holy shit this is good. Makes the phone a lot faster too (I'm on a 5)

Not the fade in effect, it was just introduced in 7.0.3

iOS 7 feels a lot nicer with all those fancy motions disabled, especially on my phone.

I might leave them on for my iPad.

reilo · Oct 23, 2013

The improved Touch ID to desktop unlock is also noteworthy.

Aurongel · Oct 23, 2013

The animation for multitasking still exists but the latency between double click and animation start is back to iOS 6 speeds. The fading effect also feels a bit snappier as well. I hope Apple gives us some more ways to decrease the GUI complexity for those of us on older devices.

It only took them 7 full iOS revisions to finally make a firmware that IMPROVES performance over the prior one.

Trojita · Oct 23, 2013

I don't even see much of a parallax effect except for my wallpaper moving which is annoying when it lags and realizes it needs to get to a different place. It kind of just snaps there.

Yep yep. It's a marked improvement over how well it worked before the update.

Combined with the removal of the animations and the whole experience feels a lot snappier.

ToxicAdam · Oct 23, 2013

I appreciate the heads up, but I'm still waiting until 7.1 until I upgrade.

Err .. actually 7.1.1 ... when they fix all the fuck ups from that release.

apieceofstrange · Oct 23, 2013

Does this benefit the iPad3 in a significant way? I still haven't updated mine to iOS7 due to all the horror stories I've read on here...

CyReN · Oct 23, 2013

Changed this afternoon, so much fast now.

Uno Venova · Oct 23, 2013

Wow IOS 7 is finally a full improvement.

Unless I only use one finger to type (on my ipad 4) I get all sorts of keyboard issues. I can't type on it like a real keyboard.

Say what? I'm pulling my iPad 3 out of the drawer!

Adam Scott Aukerman · Oct 23, 2013

The fades don't really feel all that snappy to me, but I'm never turning reduce motion off as long as it's the only way to disable parallax. That load of bollocks can bollocks right off.

Fades seem to take same time to me. But, like you, I am keeping motion off just to stop the parallax effect.

magnetic · Oct 23, 2013

So glad I can disable it now, I will never turn it back on. Really makes me wonder why Ive hates skeumorphic design, and on the other hand introduces these dumb little effects that reduce usability and don't even look good.

Pretty surprised Apple reacted that quickly, though. Usually they tend to just stick to exactly one specific way of doing things.

A darker theme would be brilliant as well, but I don't think that will ever come. So much white everywhere.

Megasoum · Oct 23, 2013

This is a gamechanger on my old crappy iPhone 4.

I doneish they would fix the keyboard lag too tho.

It's not the end of the world but it's definitely noticeable from time to time.

Enco · Oct 23, 2013

Great change but not for me.

Love the movement on my 5S.

The fade kinda makes it feel slow though. Should be quicker in my opinion. Why have any animation at all?

see5harp · Oct 23, 2013

Wow, this did make my iPad 3 work nearly as fast as it did on iOS6. The keyboard lag is all but gone completely. I did think it was pretty cool having all of the effects but it really makes no sense if it makes everything hitch (works fine on my iPhone 5).

Yeah, this prompted me to update. Was sick of how slow everything had gotten.

Meatfist · Oct 24, 2013

I wish I could turn off JUST the parallax, I like the animations on my 5 :/

Sorry, I'm a noob to the terms but what is the parallax feature?

jediyoshi · Oct 24, 2013

It's the phone using its gyro to detect when you're angling your phone and it shifting the background slightly to give a bit of a 3D effect.

AllIsOneIsNone · Oct 24, 2013

Good, thanks OP. It was feeling pretty slow to me.

killertofu · Oct 24, 2013

I feel like the fades are slower....

Hcoregamer00 · Oct 24, 2013

Yay, my iPad 2 is faster again.

Hurrah!!

Bgamer90 · Oct 24, 2013

I'm vice versa. I like the parallax feature with my wallpaper but I could do without the "zoom-in/out" menu transitions.

PGamer · Oct 24, 2013

Does this help with third gen iPads? I've avoided updating largely due to reports of terrible performance with iOS7.

Hatty · Oct 24, 2013

Takes the same amount of time it seems
Placebo effect?

wenis · Oct 24, 2013

I'd rather have the animation than the parallax, losing the animation for this fade is lame.

PSA: iOS7 users hating the slower animations. 7.0.3 allows you to disable them.
