Hey, blog author here! The startup delay is the extra initialization time that React Native needs. Translating into our discord iOS app, it is the duration of the screen with spinning mascot and quote rather than the entire duration fully connect to our gateway socket.
 In our test case, its about 4s delay on iPhone SE.


Meanwhile, we keep working towards to improving our user experience on all the devices especially the lower-end ones (I personally use iPhone 6 as my go-to test device). For instance, we will add caching very soon to shorten the interaction waiting. Hopefully you will enjoy more using Discord on your SE then :)
