Reduce motion isn't making it faster... it just reduces the motion so that people don't get dizzy.
Do you Reduce Motion or not?
It actually does make a couple of things slightly faster, namely interacting with the springboard after an unlock and swiping to the second page of folders when first selecting them. There was a long discussion in a previous thread about this when reduce motion first began changing the animations. All other device interactions are the same though.

I love the effects but I had to turn it on. I got tired of waiting for the animations to finish before I could use my phone.
Since there's nothing to watch, it feels much slower. So I don't like Reduce motion.
I personally like the animations. I was just pointing out that there was some testing done on the matter and it seemed like a couple of things were slightly faster with reduce motion on.
I'd really love for there to be actually nothing to watch and just get to want I want instantly without any animation of one kind or another. I'm not using my phone to look at animations of things opening or closing, in use it to use those things that I'm opening or closing.
disabled it, not cause it gives me motion sickness but because its a stupid addition that really didn't need to be added.
I prefer the animations because without them it just seems too stiff and boring. Like MSDOS.
It's supposed to be intuitive, intelligent and fast.
Yup, none of that requires any animation, or certainly animation that someone actually catches and thinks about looking at rather than simply having it there to enhance things without even consciously registering (which would actually be something that is designed well--when you don't really notice it, yet it's there enhancing the experience).
Well animation has been part of iOS for a long time. It's not like it's overly animated or anything. I mean, the windows open and close, the apps move into place. That's about it.
True, but clearly something changed for the worse with iOS 7 as many more people started noticing the animations and disliking them as they are implemented. They were subtle as I described in earlier versions but not so much to many more people in iOS 7. iOS 7.1 seems to improve on that finally, but they are still noticeable now unlike before where most didn't pay attention to them because they were done at the right balance of form and function, rather than mostly form over function.
As with much of IOS 7 I think people are highly sensitised to it and are simply noticing "different", not worse. There were just as many animations in IOS 6 and below but they'd been there for so long (and were emulated by so many other systems) that they just became invisible through familiarity, IMO.
Is it me or the Parallax effect is choppy ?
Even on the new devices (5, 5c, 5s) it seems a little bit wonky.

My iPad works better with reduce motion on and I keep the reduce motion toggle off on the iPhone.
