This is one thing Apple really 'got right' in iOS. You can especially see it in any app that allows you to zoom or pan the view. If you change the perspective, it will always redraw the screen according to your input. Sometimes it has to fill in the new area with a temporary texture while it runs off to load the right one, but the response is instantaneous.

As an Android user, this is one of my biggest gripes. Android just hasn't figured this out, yet, or doesn't care.

I think that Android started off the wrong way with something aimed at the existing competition at that time (so the first Blackberry, WP and Nokia smartphones). Now it is very hard to revamp Android in order to accomplish this.

I just hope that the experiments made by the Dart team (they are aiming at a 120 fps lag free framework on Android) are also conducted internally in the Android team (not necessarily with Dart, but preferably not with Java).

Unfortunately, apple seems to have regressed with the apple watch. It really feels laggy and unresponsive at times.
