Is it possible to go back to iOS 6 from iOS 7?

I downloaded ios7 to my iPhone 5 and I really don't like it,the animation on the home screen makes me dizzy every time it's unlocked or I open an app and I just want to go back to the software it came already on it?

iPhone 5, iOS 7

Apple please listen to us .


IOS 6 look was far better .

give two options if you want : one for the 5-13 yr oldswith your current cartoon like fascia ,

and

one developed and nurtured over a long time .

We over 13's like the way the iphone looked in IOS 6.

You didnt need to change that .

As far as all the upgrading you have done to the camera and airplay etc, that is very welcome , that is what we expect from forward moving technology. Well done and thank you for trying

Do not destroy the classy ,classical appearence of the iphone fora very superficial , nondescript screen!


My 13 yr old daughter loves it, but i hate it . i pay for it , so if you dont listen i will have to think :-)

I got the message that an update was available. I selected yes without going to the web to look at the new features. I assumed that Apple would not change the graphic interface to reassemble a phone from a cartoon. Your right my bad for not looking. However, why leave millions of users with the inability to change the appearence to one that is more user friendly. Give us the option to use iOS6 graphics and fonts would be one huge step forward. I for one am having a had time with the light grey font, the grey folders, and the inability to change the font to bold in anything other then messages, emails, selecting bold or increase fonts only applies to text within an app not wallpaper / desktop features.


Just my 2 cents to this response blaming everyone who like me assumed that Apple was leading edge.

I've turned on BOLD TEXT and turned on REDUCE MOTION but for me it feels like more than just the zooms in and out... I'm getting sick just reading emails and texts or just glancing at the lock screen. It's intant nausea. The only thing I can think of is that it's something to do with refresh rate or frequency of the screen.


I thought I'd just get used to it but it has not subsided. I only hope I don't have to resort to backgrading to iOS 6 or worse, moving to a different brand of phone.

I just noticed, on the lock screen they have just put the words EMERGENCY and DELETE on the bottom? They are just word stuck there with no indication they are buttons, whats wrong with making them buttons?


And the calender app, why has Apple concluded it's more usable for you to NOT be able to select the month or year direct, let alone day, instead you have to endlessly scroll through the hours of every day and month uless I'm missing something?


What was Ive and his team thinking? I can see the reason why Jobs insisted the iOS and iPhone design teams never spoke to each other.

Agreed. The flying icons are the problem. Seriously make me dizzy too. Will try to go back to ios 6. If that does not work will be moving to a new phone 100% for sure. They need a way to turn off the the silly icon flying. This is going to be a disaster for Apple and a HUGE win for Android and Microsoft. Can't believe they blew it this bad.

My solutiuon: yesterday I went to the AT&T store near me and traded in my iOS 7 infected iPhone 5 for a new iPhone 5 with (old) iOS 6 on it.


The nausea went away IMMEDIATLY. I really didnt want to believe my beloved iPhone was making me this sick but there's the proof for me.


It goes way beyond the zooming and the paralaxing, it seemed to be something with a buzz or vibration (for lack of a better description) coming off the screen because even when I looked at the lock screen it made me feel awful.

Is it possible to go back to iOS 6 from iOS 7?
