Slo-Mo: Ionic 2 Alpha vs 1.1 Sliding Animation on iPhone
The Ionic team announced the alpha version of Ionic 2 yesterday. According to the article, Ionic 2 has a "new animation system" as well as "dramatically improved performance".
I recorded two videos in slow motion comparing the difference between sliding forward and back using the default templates for Ionic 1 and Ionic 2, as well as the built-in Settings app. on the iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 and the iPhone 4 running 7.1.2.
For each test app, I ran ionic run ios --device to install it onto the physical device.
The things I noticed in Ionic 2 are:
On the iPhone 6, the sliding animation seems to be less choppy than on Ionic 1.After tapping a list item there is a longer delay than in Ionic 1 before the new screen starts sliding into view.On the iPhone 4, there is a noticeable blank-out flicker before sliding in the new view. Watch my videos and see if you agree:
iPhone 6
iPhone 4
For reference, here is the ionic info output for each of the apps:
Ionic 1:
Cordova CLI: 5.3.3 …
