iOS 7 Motion Sickness And Headaches Affects iPhone 5S, iPad 5, Other Models

iOS 7 motion sickness is on the rise, with iPhone 5S users being affected by the new iOS7 animations and flat look.

As previously reported by The Inquisitr , when the iPhone 5S is compared the iPhone 5, 5C, and iPhone 6 rumors the new iphone 5S comes up wanting.

While Apple iPhone 5S reviews have been lukewarm , most Apple fans seem to love the new iOS7 upgrade for their iPhone or iPad. The iOS7 upgrade has reportedly been installed over 200 million times as of this writing.

But not all iOS 7 users are happy. Some iPhone 5S and iPad owners have complained about iOS7 motion sickness , vertigo, and headaches resulting from watching iOS 7 animations where they zoom in and out:

“I had severe vertigo the minute I started using my iPad with iOS 7. I thought I was going crazy today after I updated my iPhone and I noticed I was feeling queasy every time I used it. Now I see I am not alone! I just used my phone for about 20 minutes and now I feel like I’m going to vomit. There has to be a way to turn this off!”

Some iOS7 users claim they have been left sick for days. People have attempted to contact Apple support about the problem because there is not any way to turn off iOS7 animations. Apple does provide an option to “reduce motion” in the iOS 7 settings (general->accessibility->reduce motion) but it apparently only affects depth-based effects, not the zooming animations giving people iOS 7 motion sickness .

If you are suffering from iOS 7 motion sickness after an upgrade then the good news is that it’s technically possible to uninstall the iOS 7 upgrade, although it’s said to be extremely difficult. But the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C as well as the upcoming iPad 5 being released in October will always suffer from iOS7 motion sickness woes because there’s no way to uninstall it.

Fortunately, any iOS 7 motion sickness is likely to be short-lived. Although nothing has been officially announced, Apple will probably patch iOS 7 to include an option to remove these headache-inducing animations.
