Apple is presently checking iOS 26, which it’s anticipated to launch next month together with the iPhone 17 household. The brand-new OS variation features modified animations, and this makes the whole experience feel much quicker.
Surprisingly, the real modification in animation timing is rather little – around 150 milliseconds quicker. There is a much larger distinction in the pacing, and that impacts how quickly it feels. This, in turn, makes the whole OS feel quicker regardless of the truth that absolutely nothing has actually altered performance-wise.

If you’re a die-hard Android fan you’ve most likely scoffed a couple of times reading this – a great deal of skins let you fine-tune the animations (which are typically faster than Apple’s to start with), and you can go an action even more through Developer Options if you’re cautious not to touch anything else, making all animations much shorter by default at the OS level.
This carries out in reality make whatever feel quicker, although absolutely nothing altered aside from the animations, so Apple is plainly onto something here, it’s simply amusing for how long it takes the Cupertino business often to “discover” such “revolutionary” tweaks that have actually been offered from its rivals for many years.
