Holy. The way the title remains “suspended” over the animation is horrendous. How does something like this come out of Apple’s design team?

Books also often put some or all of that info at the top of every page or every other page, while many reader apps hide it most of the time, I suppose to save space for body text.
Such a tiny feature, but since I've turned it on it has nudged me to read hours more each week.
Apple doesn't even allow this kind of transition in their own slide decks, at least they didn't when I worked there.
But then the window doesn't move with the card that it was cut from, so I realize I was mistaken. There is no window or magical scissors. Instead, I have momentarily acquired x-ray vision but it only works on part of the card.
This new animation breaks even the basic the mental model of a “page”. If the goal is to do away with skeuomorphism, I’d much rather have a simple push/slide animation without any shadow or fancy transition . Want the title permanently in view, put it in a top bar or floating element.
