Whenever my apple wallet connects to my phone, It plays a totally useless animation that feels like it takes forever, and covers the entire screen. In that time, you cant see or do anything on the phone. So annoying, and for no reason. Just give me a little haptic when it connects.

This enrages me so fucking much.

When does my wallet slide slightly from the magnetic center and then back into place most often? When I’m getting it out of my pocket.

When am I trying to just use my goddamn phone the most? When I get it out of my pocket.

So, it ends up being that ~50% of the time I need to use my phone, I have to wait for that goddamn 3 second animation first.

If some engineer introduced a 3 second regression in the time for Face ID to unlock your phone 50% of the time, it would be noticed and fixed immediately. But call that 3 second regression a “surprise and delight animation” and suddenly Apple designers love it and force it on you.

same when attaching a locked phone to a magsafe charger. it seems like a small thing but i actually interact with my locked phone enough for that to get on my nerves. i'd prefer the haptic feedback but i would even settle for being able to swipe it away - nope. not an option.
