iOS 8.4 was launched for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch on Tuesday, Apple officially offering us Apple Music and Beats 1 Radio, plus a new Music application through which we can access these services.
Apart from these important news, the Apple company also slightly modified the way iOS 8.4 works, so that some users reported various performance problems after installing the update, some terminals working more difficult than in the case of using iOS 8.3.
We are mainly talking about old iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches that have not very powerful hardware, they have some problems running smoothly all the menus and functions available in iOS 8.4, enough users complain about this even on the Apple forums.
Based on what various users have reported and based on what I've tested, disabling certain operating system animations can dramatically improve iOS 8.4 performance for terminals with old hardware, but this implies giving up certain functions.
How do I solve the performance problems of iOS 8.4?
Menu Settings > General > Accessibility, Settings > General > Accessibility you will find all the options for the changes you are going to make, some of them including a respring for the user interface in order to activate or deactivate.
To improve the performance of old iPhones, iPads or iPod Touches in iOS 8.4, you will need to activate the option Discount Move, Reduce Motion, and activate the option Transparent Discount, Reduce Transparency, disabling animations that generate high data consumption.
Apart from these, another option that you have to disable is called PerspectiveZoom, it being displayed in the case of applying certain wallpapers, the deactivation being done before applying that wallpaper through the menu Settings > Wallpaper, Settings > Wallpaper.
By making these changes you will be able to use a iOS 8.4 much faster on your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touches.
