Isn't that just ridiculously slow animations for the most part? I still use an ancient OnePlusX that I got when it came out and I've disabled all UI animations, toggling most settings (with legitimate exceptions like activating the wifi hotspot feature) feels almost instant, certainly nothing close to 300 ms. Admittedly, I haven't used any iPhone in many years, so I can't really compare.

Agreed, and as the recent example with the iPhone calculator proved, Apple aren't exactly immune to this either.

Can you just disable animations on Apple devices the way you can on Android?

[gitgud]

Yes, I think low power mode disables almost all animations on apple

[keldaris]

Wouldn't that also disable other features as well (push notifications, maybe?)? Animations are something I disable permanently just to have a better user experience, I wouldn't like to sacrifice anything else.

Yes it would. But you can only reduce effects:

Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion.

The only thing I dislike is the slightly counter-intuitive quick fading effect when minimizing or switching between apps. Outside of that though, any iDevice feels snappier with that option enabled (== effects reduced).
