Any way to turn off iOS 7 navigation animations?

The zoom animations everywhere on the new iOS 7 are literally making me nauseous and giving me a headache. It's exactly how I used to get car sick if I tried to read in the car.


How do I turn them off? Do I have to revert to 6?

iPhone 4

What you fail to understand is that people will never get true sense of ios 7 from testing it at the store for 5 minutes.

For a lot of users it's prolonged use that causes the problem. People sell stocks because the feel that Apple is not doing their job during beta testing phase, hence the company is not what it used to be when Steve was around.


No one demands immediate changes from apple in 2 weeks, people want an option to downgrade. Is this too much to ask for???


As far as "free" OS upgrades from apple comments... Believe me if google wasn't around we would be paying for every upgrade. Apple is not doing you or us any favors. Apple, inc. is the richest company in the world in case you did not know.

Is Apple at fault? I don't believe the company is, but I do expect the situation to be fixed because I for one cannot use my iPhone or iPad currently.

I am puzzled that it is apparently legal for Apple to make irreversible changes to our expensive devices. Many of the changes that they have made were NOT ANNOUNCED on their website, so customers were not fully informed before accepting the upgrade. I would like to see their decision to make the upgrade irreversible challenged in court.

I didn't sell my shares because of the changes that they made per se (though I don't like them). I sold them because I think Apple are badly mishandling this so-called upgrade.

There are different levels of customer dissatisfaction:

1. Style & Preference - I hate the colors, It's taking too long to load, I hate the taste of coffee

2. Temporary Incapacitation - Nausea, dizziness, vertigo, illness & inability to function

3. Damages - which I won't go further


And responses to these levels of dissatisfaction are handled and should be escalated differently as well.

Yeah I know, I haven't heard of anyone having to be hospitalized due to ios 7, which is good and I also have not heard of consumer safety issues thus far. The only damages ive heard of is actual cases of people thinking their phones were waterproof and... Well the rest is history.


On another note: has anyone here had an instance where the vertigo, headaches, nauseousness etc actually developed later on after using ios 7 for, say, a week? Without using the device more than usual?

Same here, as well. Sick, dizzy, nauseous. I don't normally get migranies - EVER - but suddnely I feel like I'm stabbing myself between the eyes every time I use my phone for all of a minute. I used to use (and stay on) my apps constantly all day (Instagram especially, as well as NY Times, TD Ameritrade, etc), now when I leave the house I ask myself if I really want to bring my phone with me because it's no longer a device I enjoy using to access some of my hobbies and interests, it's merely an instrument of torture.


Maybe the 12 year old girls are impressed with some of iOS 7's gimmicks, but I feel like I'm on the verge of a seizure.


Spoke with someone in Customer Service, all they could recommend is sending a message to the feedback section here. Another option, I suppose, is to switch to a Samsung S4. Nothing resonates more for Apple than an ever dwindling customer base.

Yes they were announced back in June when iOS7 was announced. They have had it on their main page along with the video showing what the new ios was going to look like. Do not even lie and say it was not announced. You are just an uninformed consumer.

Really. I don't think so. I think you and everyone else claiming nausia is making it up because they want to force apple to change the GUI on the phone.

I've never seen such a swing either. Since when did somebody exercising their FREE SPEECH to criticize a company's change in direction and then exercising their RIGHT as a consumer to threaten to take their business elsewhere or their RIGHT as a shareholder to sell their shares in protest become ENTITLEMENT?


I liked the capitalists and libertarians better when they were saying "cavet emptor" instead of this new thing of claiming that even daring to complain about corporations is demonstrating a "sense of entitlement".


Take your corporate welfare crap somewhere else; billionaires and billion dollar companies don't need you to defend them.
