Nausea dizziness

Your taking your time here to share your story with us will not in any way get to the management at Apple, they aren't here. And encouraging others to post here won't help. You have to go here -> https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Since this is worse for you when scrolling you might want to try the Reduce Motion setting and see if that helps. If it doesn't your only recourse as far as phones is to buy one that does not have an OLED screen. This is not an Apple thing, if you buy an LG phone with an OLED screen you will have the same issue. In fact Samsung makes some of the iPhone OLED screens. And I strongly encourage you to quickly take your Mini to a visit with your doctor as this, and problems with 3D movies/glasses, can be a symptom of certain diseases.

The good new is that computer technology is moving towards miniLED for screens which may not trigger whatever is causing this. But make sure you try the screen before you buy it, hopefully by that time we will be out of the pandemic and you can do that.

It isn't just iPhones and Apple does not make OLED screens. They and other makers have tried to minimize this but if you are one of the people that has the issue it is best to avoid OLED screens of any kind (including TVs) and 3D movies. Anyone having this should really make an appointment with their doctor as these symptoms can also be related to brain damage and rare vision diseases.

I had the same feeling with vertigo

now I feel light headed and dizzy

Vertigo can be benign or it can be a symptom of something more serious. No one here can tell. What we can tell you, though, is that a user-to-user technical support forum is not where you should be getting medical advice. Make arrangements to see a doctor.

Also, sit down, have a snack and drink some water.

I purchased a 12 Pro 5 days ago and have been having low grade vertigo/nausea and headaches since then. I have been an iphpne/Mac and Ipad user for over a decade and have never had a similar issue. I am in perfect health with no other underlying issues so I am 100% confident that this is a 12 Pro issue. I read somewhere to turn the brightness all the way up in Settings and to turn the "True Tone" lighting format off in Settings, as well. I also turned on the "Reduce Motion" feature in "Accessibility". Although I can't say which of these actions have solved my issue and reduced the side effects, but they are much better and I have been using the phone with no ill effects for a day now. I am relieved. This is definitely something that Apple (and perhaps other phone manufacturers) need to look into. There are probably at least thousands of users who are having these problems and have not made the connection or figured out how to resolve the issue.

You need to immediately see your doctor and report this, it may just be an inner ear issue but it could be something far, far worse.

Omg this has happened to me too I got the iPhone 12 pro and started with dizziness and fuzzy in the head yes I’m on my phone ALOT I WENT TO er got a cat scan showed nothing went to a different er for another cat scan they found nothing put my SIM card in my old phone and it’s gone what in the **** is this ????

Yes to Q1. Yes I guess to Q2. And no to Q3 as I think the doctor will probably tell me to stop using the AirPods which I have done and I have therefore stopped feeling giddy. I just hope that iPhones will NOT do away completely with earphone jacks and only allow wireless earphones or headphones coz there are folks like me who can’t seem to take to wireless earphones.

OMG! Finally someone else. I just received my iPhone 13 Pro Max 256G from Apple today. Pre-ordered the day they came out. I am a business owner and very tech-savvy and have been a web designer since the nineties. I turned it on and switched from Chinese to English and connected it to my WiFi, and setting up my password.

All of a sudden this powerful wave came over me. I am falling out of my chair with dizziness, nausea, ears ringing, and the feeling of waves running through my head and brain, like I was being electrocuted. My head felt like it would explode. I thought I was experiencing a brain aneurysm or stroke! My heart went into super tachycardia. I had a stroke in my late 20s and something similar here but this was worse.

Needless to say, I did not proceed with transferring my info from iPhone 7 plus to iPhone 13 Max Pro.

I turned it off and put it in another room, to try it tomorrow again. Included in the instructions, the lithium batteries are included in the phone, and there are tons of warnings not on my other phone but this one regarding the hi-frequencies, powerful new camera warnings, medical warnings, and disclosures you must sign.

I have two iPhones, a wireless printer, two laptops, an iPad pro, an iPad air, Kindle 10, a router, and have on a FitBit watch all in the same room in my office. This is the worst experience ever.

I just called Apple and there have been other complaints filed. I decided to return it which cost me close to $1600.00 counting the Apple tech support care. I am waiting for a confirmation and return label from Apple. Please if anyone is experiencing the same, please call to report it as a known issue.

This is a serious issue and starting 8/26/21 I started having issues with iPhone 7 plus because it is 4 G and experiencing problems since I am in a 5G area. I was so excited to get this, but now, I have no other choice than to have a landline installed and go get a burner phone to use when out of my home office.

I feel like I am going back 20 years in time!

I am curious to see what others will say about this iPhone 13 Pro Max. I am not going to risk going through this daily.

Take care of yourself and keep me updated. Your health is more important than a phone.

Update: I just received my return label for Fed-Ex for a full refund of $1,565.86. I am not keeping this phone!

There really is nothing for Apple or any other company to look into or change. It is a long know fact that a small percentage of people clearly experience these issues with OLED displays. It is inherent in the OLED technology that if you’re susceptible to it any OLED display can be an issue for you.

As you know yourself, you did not have the issue with LED/LCD displays, so that is always an option to bear in mind when shopping for any electronic item with a color display. Although some people experience similar symptoms with LED/LCD displays too.

But these issue are not new or novel as they have been around forever with these technologies. Until or unless someone finds a better alternative to OLED or a completely new display technology, they will always be there.

At this point I'm just staying away from OLED screens (like the iphone 12 pro). I don't know much about the macbook/ipad situation, since they are LCD screens, but from what I've read the flicker there seems to be a bug, rather than a feature, if its happening. I did notice that the iphone 12 caused a halo effect for me that made it hard to use any screen at all for a while, that problem went away after I traded the 12 in for an SE. Good luck, it's not fun.

I went to my dr had every single blood tear taken 2 cat scans an mri and the phone IS THE CAUSE I CHANGED BACK TO MY OLD PHONE IT WENT AWAY !!!

Try the reduce motion option in the accessibility settings.

Look up “IPhone cyber sickness.”

Buying blue light glasses could help. Blue light is the addicting but extremely-bad-for-you light that any sort of screen gives off. If you wear glasses, most eyewear places allow you to get blue light protection in your glasses at your next appointment. This isn’t guaranteed but it can give me headaches and make me feel bad as well. Just a suggestion.

Yes, I have. A few. And a few neurologists. Everything looks good from a Western Medical point of view. There is general acknowledgement that this response to video games is known and maybe 20% of the population has it. [Search: first person video games motion sickness] That logically translates to AR and real estate 3D tours. The phone bit is more confusing to the doctors but they nod and agree I need to find one that works.

Recently I spoke with 2 neurologists on another topic and this came up. They both, separately, theorized that it was a migraine reaction using the newer definition of migraines as 'a brainstem storm' (vs. headache) - with sensation in my ears and sinuses. Not just from phone screens but maybe high tech screens in general (so a lot of my day).

As I was considering this I spoke with a women who has the type of migraines that paralyze one side of her body for days and her trigger is fluorescent lights. Awful but also that made me open to the idea that sure, ok, this might be triggering migraine responses. But I haven't yet figured out 'what' is triggering it in order to find a new phone.
