Many iPhone and iPad users have reported suffering vertigo, nausea, motion sickness and headaches after using their updated devices.
THe iOS 7 design, which features new icons and redesigned formats, also makes use of rapid movements and also has more commonly uses zoom-in and zoom-out mre than usual. It also has a 3D feature, which users have described to be nauseating. iOS 7 had been widel promoted as having revolutionary desgin, with multi-level funcitonalities that make usage easier as well as more aesthetically pleasing.
It may look streamlined and fluid and beautiful, but the beauty is now a major problem for most users.
"The zoom animations everywhere on the new iOS 7 are literally making me nauseous and giving me a headache," an iOS 7 user wrote on an Apple product forum. "It's exactly how I used to get car sick if I tried to read in the car. How do I turn them off? Do I have to revert to 6?"
However, the unfortunate users will have no way of reverting back to iOS 6. There are only ways to reduce the excessive motion of the new iOs 7, by going to Settings-General-Accessibility-Reduce Motion.
But this fix, however, may not be enough for the affected. What 'Reduce Motion' only does is to lessen the appearance of layers that iOS 7 is so engrossed with. It does not even deal with the zoom-in and zoom-out motion that has received so many negative reviews from people.
"I had severe vertigo the minute I started using my ipad [sic] with ios 7," another user said on Apple's product forum. "Lost the rest of the day to it... And not happy at all. It's the transition between the apps flying in and out."
Apple has yet to respond to these reviews, but application developers may have a solution for this problem. the creator of PCalc, the calculator app, James Thomson, has already made a function that disables the animation in his application. Now, if only the rest of the app developers could chip in as well.
