I know how to get the contentOffset on movement for a UIScrollView, can someone explain to me how I can get an actual number that represents the current speed of a UIScrollView while it is tracking, or decelerating?
There's an easier way: check the UISCrollview's pan gesture recognizer. With it, you can get the velocity like so:
CGPoint scrollVelocity = [[_scrollView panGestureRecognizer] velocityInView:self];
