I am once again asking why Apple prevents me from using my iPhone at all for a few seconds while it displays a full-screen, uninterruptible, modal animation whenever you connect it to a MagSafe charger.

There’s many time sensitive things I might need to do with my phone that this animation interrupts, including:
• Answering a phone call
• Pausing audio
• Ending a timer

These sorts of things require my immediate attention, especially when audio is playing like in a notification and interacting with my phone stops that audio. Why punish me for docking my phone on a MagSafe charger? No sense can be made here.

@louie The animation happens for MagSafe wallets, too. When I grab my wallet and stick it to the back of my phone, I regularly then check my screen for any missed notifications — only for that animation to block everything.
