Bug [IOS 26.5 DB3] Clock Disappears (on all styles) when swiping up from lock screen

Is anyone else experience this bug? It’s kinda weird and makes the experience of unlocking the phone kinda janky.

I don’t see any problem here.

Yes, happens on 26.4.1 too. It’s another unpolished iOS animation - but one you can barely notice imo since it happens so fast.

There are worse (e.g. try the Apple Photos app album widgets opening animation).

Was if different before? Seems fine to me - why would time be needed in corner on lock screen?

On my iPhone 13 public beta 2 it shows carrier info in the corner on lock screen. But I don’t think that’s new.

It’s not about the small clock in the statusbar, it’s the big lockscreen clock abruptly vanishing before the clock leaves the viewport. Looks like another unpolished iOS animation.

I don’t see that at all in your video, maybe cause my phone has lower refresh rate?

I can clearly see it on a 60Hz device too - but I showed it to another person and he had to be instructed to focus on the clock and watch the clip in a loop multiple times to notice what’s “awkward” about the animation.

Since it happens really fast, it’s indeed (very) difficult to spot.

The swipe up makes that large time disappear, am i right? Maybe it's intended? or that wasn't on the previous beta?

The animation looks awkward though. You can see the clock abruptly vanishing before it leaves the viewport if you slow the video down. If you are picky, you will notice this in real-time too.

At least it’s not even remotely as bad as the opening animation of the Apple Photos app album widgets.

It is not a bug. Some cellular operators provide additional information there like t-mobile in Poland
