Turn off iOS Animations with Reduce Motion.

[+Warwagon MVC]

Enabling Reduced Motion

Starting with iOS7 they have an new toggle called "reduced motion". Reduced motion turns off all of the animations, so when you open something up instead of seeing the in out in out animation, the screen gradually fades in and gradually fades out.

Some people thinks this speeds up the phone (or gives the impression). Other people think it does not. I think it's just a personal preference. In my case Its the first thing I enable on all of my iOS devices, I think it just feels smoother.

How to Turn on Reduced Motion

Settings/General/accessibility/reduced motion

 

Try it out, see if it makes your iOS device feel more responsive. If not you can always go in and turn reduced motion back off.

Alternatively if you have a jailbroken device there's software such as springtomize which can be used to change the speed/duration of animations making them all slower or faster.

NoSlowAnimations exists purely for this, no need to use a large tweak like Springtomize to do this (unless you need the other features).
