Do you guys remember how an app instantly closes midway during opening animation if we quickly press Home Button on iOS 10? But on iOS 11, it takes 1 second to complete the opening animation. Then 1 second it blocks any input or home button press and then closes.

At first I thought that this is just OS optimisation issue. But when you take iPhone X into consideration which does not have a Home Button, things are clear. Apple wants to show the world that swipe up to close and return to home screen is faster.

Planned Obsolesence exists. Hence proved.

No they haven't. It's a bug, will be fixed and your "planned obsolescence" nonsense will be shown for the tinfoil hat crap that it is. There are problems like this every year in the .0 releases and they always get fixed.

Is it good that this happens every year? Clearly not. Complain to Apple because it really shouldn't.

I am beginning to see a pattern. The problem is Apple underestimated the cleverness and the razor sharp instincts of us forum members. Once again we see past their schemes, and conspiracies to get to the truth. You can't fool us Apple, we are too smart and see right through your attempts to slow down the home button time delay thingy, in order to force us to buy iPhone X.

Never surrender my fellow crusaders.

But I think Apple should not be worried about any conspiracy theories as long as they have defenders who will hand over their soul to Timmy on a golden platter.. no questions asked.

who are these defenders? i love my apple products, but not unconditionally. there's lots i'd like different...

the problem with a conspiracy theory is... it's something someone makes up to 'explain' to themselves something they don't understand. then they choose to believe what they made up.

and a belief is not the same thing as a fact.

3-4 people have confirmed the home button lag in this thread, besides I am seeing people complain about it in other threads. Apple hasn't changed home button animation then why this sudden introduction of lag? To be specific it is not there anywhere. It is only at one place which will put iPhone X ahead of all the iDevices which are having Home Button.

Home Button is on it's way out. I won't be surprised that by next year it will be completely phased out and termed as legacy device.

It’s a new OS. There’s always some degree of lag in the beginning, and then it improves.
