Apple is set to release iOS 26 next month, along with the latest iPhone 17 models. One of the key improvements in the new operating system is the tweaked animations, which make the overall user experience feel much faster.
Despite only a small change in animation timing - around 150 milliseconds quicker - the pacing adjustment creates a significant difference in how fast the OS appears to operate. This subtle tweak gives the impression of increased speed, even though there are no actual performance enhancements.
While Android devices offer similar animation customization options, Apple's refinement highlights the impact of such adjustments on user perception. Although these tweaks have been available on other platforms for years, Apple's attention to detail in enhancing user experience is evident in iOS 26.
