I’ve been using iOS 7, the redesigned operating system for iPhones and iPads, since it first became available to developers in June.
My biggest beef with iOS 7 in those early days was the animated effects I saw whenever I opened a folder or new app. Those animations were noticeably slower than the ones in older versions of iOS, which made it feel like I was waiting an eternity to access my stuff. I was also bothered by Apple’s “parallax” effect in iOS 7, which taps into the iPhone’s built-in motion sensors and lets your background move with you as you twist the device in your hands. It was super distracting.
