Q: Any way to turn off iOS 7 navigation animations?

iOS 7 isn't free- it is an OS you install on an expensive phone or laptop and then cannot remove. For those of us with a 5S, it has been a very expensive mistake.

"maybe all you vertigo sufferers should of went down and looked at the new ios7 like i did and see it before you blindly download something thats FREE and then complain about it"

I don't think any of us expected this to happen and I don't think Apple did which is understandable, but you have to remember that we are left with expensive devices that cause us problems. It has nothing to do with entitlement, it is to do with software that brings on bad symptoms for many people. 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 not bring dramatic about it, but until you experience the problem it is hard to judge how serious it really is.

"so you just sold your apple shares because of this?? wow....couldint wait or what......2 weeks in and you expect apple to just jump.....do you really think apple had talked to doctors to see if an app zooming out was going to cause vertigo to an extremely small amount of people?? whats with this sense of entitlement for something you get for free??? people are just so self absorbed in themselves and think everyone owes them something... its about time people take resposibility for their own lives... maybe all you vertigo sufferers should of went down and looked at the new ios7 like i did and see it before you blindly download something thats FREE and then complain about it!!! grow up people....stop making excuses for the crap that happens in your life... never in my 48 years of life have i seen such a swing in attitude that individuals are OWED somethng..... gonna go sell my burger king shares now because i dont like the taste of the coffee...cheers "

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.

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.

If the next update 7.03, is coming next week, I wonder if apple with give the option to turn this nonsense off?

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.

Haha damages like: "I thought it made my phone waterproof!"

Damages meants hospitalization, property damage, and consumer safety

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.

Please be fair.
