iOS 9 bug that may drive you crazy

[mattyu007]

I disagree respectfully in this instance for my case in particular. Here is why, for me this issue is new to iOS 9. It was not present in any of the betas. It is apparent after the animations end, not durning which I understand was changed in iOS 7. My wife has an iPhone 6 that is not upgraded to iOS 9 and when doing a side by side comparison there is no "missed touch". I am very in tune with my devices and noticed this the very first time I unlocked my phone after the upgrade. Others may have had something similar in the past, I don't discount that however this was obviously apparent to me right away.

Hmm, I'm not sure if the behaviour was different during the betas, but it doesn't seem to have changed significantly across iOS 7/8/9 where any touches which begin before the unlock or app switcher animation end are ignored. I tested this on an iPad on iOS 8.3, and this video comparing iOS 8 to iOS 3 seems to show similar behaviour, albeit in the video he's mad swiping instead of just doing one long touch (like in cynics's video):

On iOS 7 this bug exists. But it was fixed on either 7.1 or 8, now it came again!! The great old days!

Things were sped up a bit in 7.1 compared to 7.0 but it was never "fixed" as that was basically the new design philosophy as of iOS 7 to not respond to interactions during animations or transitions.

pinch to close apps doesnt always work well (air and air2).

The unresponsive touch I notice is on my Air 2. When I select an app from the app switcher I start scrolling in the app before it's ready so the app won't respond.

i quess apps are still somehow closed in the background and you only see the latest screenshots until the app is launched/activated again. because if you do that with the browser, the browser will refresh and download the page again. so it is only "a fake multitasking" because apps needs to be woke up again. abit like "looking good without being exactly what you think it is"... for example when you shut down your ipad, it closed immediately but that is only faking, it shows you a black screen. if you wait a few seconds you see that it start closing it later.. to you it is looking good, everything is working really fast but in a reality now so fast...

Yes! I can't make a video of this because it can be interpreted as me doing it wrong but it used to work 99.9% of the time, now it takes a concerted effort for it to work 75% of the time. That drives me nuts.

Not exactly sure what is going on but it doesn't work as well as it did in iOS 8. Like I mentioned it's not that big of a deal but to be honest I have little patients for technology. If it's on the screen I expect it to be ready use.

OH. MY. GOSH. This is driving me nuts on iPhone 6s: iOS9 is missing my input like nuts as shown in the video above, but it's especially more evident when turning on 'reduce motion' which removes the fancy animations and only does fade-in fade-out.

There is a constant 1-2 second delay on every single multi-tasking operation, ie switching apps, or going from an app to home, input is ignored as shown in that video.

This is insane, I can't believe more people aren't complaining about it.
