The Verge is reporting that some users of iOS 7 have started to complain about motion sickness that is traced to the zoom and parallax effects that the OS brings to the table:
Apple’s new design style in iOS 7 has had plenty of detractors, but some may have genuine cause for complaint: the zooming and parallax animations across the new operating system have been giving some users bad cases of motion sickness. “The zoom animations … are literally making me nauseous and giving me a headache,” Apple forum user Ensorceled writes. “It’s exactly how I used to get car sick if I tried to read in the car.” Other forum users are reporting feelings of illness, eye pain, and dizziness as well.
Now I haven’t noticed this in my use of my iPhone with iOS 7 and neither has my wife. But I can see this happening with an iPad or iPad Mini running iOS 7. I’ll also note that I did find the parallax effect annoying and I documented how to turn it off. But you can’t do anything about the zooming.
Apple hasn’t responded to this at this time. But it would be interesting to see what they say if they do.
