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.
