Apple's iOS 7 brought several new and much needed
features to the company's iPhone and iPad. But
something that didn't get a lot of attention was its
transition animations between the homescreen and the
individual apps.
It turns out the animations might be a bigger issue than
intended, since some Apple fans are claiming it literally
makes them sick.
Michelle Barna, 31, is hesitant to update to the newest
version of iOS because of those animations. "I played
around with iOS 7 on my girlfriend's phone and I felt
nauseous," she told ABC News. "I'm a huge Apple fan and
I haven't made the update yet because of it."
It's not just Barna who feels a little queasy. A message
thread on Apple's forums has become a venting ground
for queasy and frustrated users. One user says "It hurts
my eyes and makes me dizzy. So annoying that we can't
downgrade!!!!" Another writes, "I had severe vertigo the
minute I started using my ipad with ios 7. Lost the rest of
the day to it... And not happy at all. It's the transition
between the apps flying in and out." The thread was
first spotted by The Verge.
People have also flocked to Twitter saying that the new
iOS makes them motion sick.
