Ask HN: why does Apple always have better animations?

I have always wanted to keep using android for technical backend reasons. But I just find myself “captured” by the smoothness of the animations and transitions on iPhone, and I always come back. And this hyped assessment is on a fully updated iPhone 7 ,usually with motion effects turned off.<p>I know I could be deluded by marketing but it just seems to me something about the UI and transitions make the phone signinifcantly more appealing and addictive to my impulsive lizard brain.<p>And I wonder whether this factor is underrated in making sense of its dominance. Ecosystem and branding is the obvious likely most important factors, but I think some overlook how appealing the interface is, not just plainly visual, but the response the animation flow gives.<p>Does anyone have a plausible hypothesis for how they do this? Have I been hijacked by marketing? Does anyone else find apple default apps are just always more smooth? I really want to use obsidian and standard notes,,, but apple notes always seems to be a couple milliseconds faster or smoother, I just don’t know.
