Does Apple finally fix the animation "bug"?

I can do that on iOS 8.4 betas just not with task switcher. iOS 9 I tested that you could t at all.
For example you unlock your iPhone, the apps will fly in. (sorry, I am not a native speaker).
Or maybe another example you can try:
If you open Safari and see a link you wanna "Open in background", there will be a small animation where the link will jump to the upper right corner.
in iOS 8.3 during this animation you cannot do anything else (like scrolling through the page).
What about iOS 9?
I see what you mean. For the Safari test, do you mean holding down on a link and tapping "add to reading list"? If so, its not possible to scroll when the small text animation happens. As for the 'apps jumping in', the animations finish before I could swipe to the left or right so I couldn't test that. I've also tried coming out of an app and swiping - you can't swipe or interact until animation finishes.
Hope that helps.
To be fair, that's hardly much of an issue unless you're device is really slow with the animations.
You're not being very clear here, to my understanding these issues should be fixed by doing the following in Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion On
Ah so the issue is solved, you just don't like the solution. If there's an option called "Reduce Motion" solely added to do exactly what you're asking for. Do you think it's realistic to think that apple has done something about an issue they already gave us a solution for?
It doesn't resolve the phone not reacting to user input while transitions (be they animated or not) are performed. Unlike it was before iOS 7 where the phone would react to user input even in the middle of a transition.
Nope, reduce motion just changes the animation from zoom in/out to fade in/out, it's still the same speed. In iOS 6 you could interact while animations were in motion while iOS 7 and up makes you wait.
Wait what? I thought this was solved. Is it with non-6 devices only then? because there's no waiting period for me at all. The "fade in" animation isn't hindering anything at all. As soon as I see icons I can press whatever app and it'll respond.
Still there. For example, when loading the home screen after unlocking the phone I can swipe a few times on the screen before anything responds to my swipes.
