Anyone using iPhone 7 or 7 plus can confirm if note from Apple is true about resolving the app closing animation (choppy) problem. I found it weird to see such a note if people say the choppy animation is still there.
The animation when closing an app is different and functions differently compared to previous iOS devices due to the home button not being an actual button. Don't expect this to change.
Aww, it was nice to be able to plug in the phone and know it's charging without looking at it.
I guess on the grand scale of things this is minor, but if you found the sound annoying I guess some others did too, and they asked for it to be removed.
Ah well, no big.
F****** FINALLY! I submitted that as a bug way back with 10.0 PB1. About damn time Apple!
Mail preview bug for notifications exists still. Checked on my device and friends device. Settings > Mail > Preview > None - results in HTML code being showed. Selecting '1 Line' for example, instead of 'None' will only show the 1st line of that email preview as it's supposed to. The 'None' setting isn't working and this was fine on iOS 9.

Not really since apple told me that the bug I submitted about that is under investigation. Moreover, the smooth normal animation happens if you close an app within a second after opening it so if animation would be different because of the new home button, it would be different all the time, not if you start playing open then close app without letting it open for a few seconds.
Under investigation is different than admitting its a bug. There is a huge thread about this topic. The animation when closing out apps on a 7/7Plus is a different animation than is being ran on previous iOS devices.

Here is a detailed explanation of the process. Credit to @Jayson A for writing this:
"Apple did this because they want the animation to start immediately on the first click, rather than waiting for a second click before returning home.
It's like this (for anyone that's interested)
iPhone 6s:
1. User clicks home button once
2. iPhone says to itself "Don't do anything yet! We don't know if the user is going to double click, so we don't know what action to take just yet!
3. After a second or so, the iPhone goes "False alarm! User just wanted to go home! Start the home animation!!"
4. The screen smoothly transforms into the size of its home screen icon.
iPhone 7 does things differently:
1. User clicks home button once
2. iPhone says to itself "Start the animation! We'll deal with a second click as it comes!"
3. The wallpaper however, cannot move yet because the iPhone doesn't know when you'll do the second click.
4. If a second click is detected during the initial animation, the iPhone says "Wait! The user clicked again! Interrupt the current animation and show them the multitasking screen!"
Because of the fact that the iPhone has to be prepared to show the multitasking screen, the way the app animates to the home screen is different. It starts off by shrinking the screen slowly, but keeping the same proportions of the app screen (16:9). Once it gets past the size of the multitasking window size, it starts to distort slightly and blend into it's icon on the home screen. However, since the zoom animation started off slow, it has to make up time by speeding up toward the end of the animation, but someone forgot to tell the wallpaper that, so it lags behind the rest of the animation.
That's why the iPhone 7's animation looks off-putting.
If they could just get the wallpaper to move at the same speed as the zoom animation, it wouldn't look so weird or delayed.
I hope this helped some people out"

Additionally here are videos that I have slowed down to show the different wallpaper animations between different devices.

The animation on an iPhone 7 is roughly 6 frames longer.

Very smooth animations on iPhone 7 specially in multitasking.
Edit: I have noticed a higher maximum brightness

Thanks, however I also have Beats Solo 2 Wireless headphones - not seen the headphone icon in status bar with these in previous versions. The inconsistently between icon/symbol use is really bugging me though... status icon battery symbol, control centre, music app & battery widget all use different Bluetooth icons
. Reminds me of the volume knob styling mess of iOS6 again haha - 3 different stylings with different animation affects.
This is also my understanding and I don't think we'll see much change on this.
Agreed. The fact that it is entirely a different animation should be a sign that its intended. A glitch or bug would not make a new animation.
I don't see them on mine. 6s+
Although I've had them saved into my photos for quite some time now.
About to add this one to the list as a "bug"...
The issue with a locked device not displaying notifications during an active call still exists. This issue has persisted since the iOS 10.0 betas.

I saw someone else say it's different so you're probably right.
Are you in the Developer program or public beta? If the latter, the beta has not been released yet.
Okay, so a few people have the ding still, some people don't.
Sounds like this may be a bug instead of a change.
