Feeling dizzy or nausea after using iPad

I'm sorry to say I just sold my beautiful iPad because it was giving me nausea. I was fine for a couple of months but then I found I couldn't use it for more than a few seconds without feeling sick. The 'reduce motion' settings didn't help. My wife's iPhone does the same to me, it would appear to be down to the high resolution of the retina display.

I'm honestly baffled why they don't have a "use in low resolution mode" setting like they have for their computer retina displays. That would have allowed me to keep it and would've probably also tempted me to buy an iPhone.

It's the backlight, I don't know what they use for the backlight, but it's making me sick. Watching my iPad for 10 minutes gives me migraines for 24h. There must me some kind of flickering somewhere, or interference between the backlight refreshment rate and the lcd.

The worst is they know use the same retina screens in all their products, they must come from LG and they're all awfull. How this stuff does even pass the tests?. They managed to make the thunderbolt display right, but everything else is know just a pure nightmare. We don't want thinner screens, we want screens that doesn't give us nauseas.

Get your **** together Apple, making people sick, even if we're a small minority, is not acceptable.

I have to use a retina screen or I get dizzy and nauseous within minutes. Also I can't watch LED backlit TV's without getting very sick. Unfortunately I have to stick with the old LCD's. Hoping mine last a while because I want to keep watching TV! That said, I had to return my brand new iPad Pro the same day I bought it because it made me a little bit sick an hour into using it, not as bad a using a computer that doesn't have a retina screen but not good. I had a second iPad Pro motion sickness experience a couple months later when I took took an iPad drawing workshop at my local Apple Store; it was given on the store's demo iPad Pro's. This time it took about 45 min to again become mildly motion sick. Previous to getting the iPad Pro that I returned I had a Gen. 4 iPad (with retina screen) for over 3 years and now I'm using an iPad Air 2, both without any motion sickness. I've had iPhones since the 4 came out and now I have a 6S, all without motion sickness. I have the Apple Watch and no motion sickness there. I bought a Mac Book Pro almost 4 years ago (switched from my dinosaur HP laptop) and literally almost cried when I had to return it because by the end of the set up (basically just minutes) I was extremely nauseous and dizzy. Two weeks later the first Mac Book Pro Retina was in stores. I've been using a Mac Book Pro Retina since it was first introduced and had no motion sickness problem with that at all, until the screen needed to be replaced (a coating peeling-off problem inherent to the original Mac Book Pro Retinas). The replacement screen made me sick, so I returned it immediately and the put my old screen back on it. I finally gave replacement another try a few months ago (it was a free replacement to correct the peeling problem) and this time the replacement screen is fine, no motion sickness. My Apple Store said two different companies produce the Mac Book Pro Retina screens and they speculated that the two screens I was fine with were probably both made by the same company.

Anyone have any ideas whats different about the iPad Pro that is making me sick when (almost) all other retina screens don't? Hopefully Apple will work out these issues with the screens that cause motion sickness.

I have a similiar problem. If I'm on any electronic for more than 20 minutes, when I try to get up I get dizzy, I fall, and I feel like a can't control my body. I don't know if it's me but my body just kinda shakes as well.

I feel sick just holding the iPad, without even using it. When i hold a mobile phone next to my ear, it scrambles my brain. My children think I am making it up and gave me an iPhone to use. That is worse - when I just hold it, it makes my hand fizz. The iPhone also makes me sick. I don't see how it can be motion sickness as it comes on just holding it in my hand. anyone have any so;unions to this please?

Hi janeyflippit. Definitely, turn off Bluetooth. If you have iOS 11, be sure to do it in Settings, not Control Center. Not much anyone can do about the cell radio you need to communicate. If it turns out it's the cell radio that bothers you, try a Bluetooth headset (turn Bluetooth on) and keep the phone away from your head; pocket or handbag maybe. The best thing would be to get evaluation by a medical practitioner, who could tell you exactly where you stand with these different radios (frequencies).
