ios 7 zooming induces nausea + motion sickness

I just wanted to add to the forums and to the Apple atmosphere - that ios7 has a glaring flaw. The zooming from different points in the screen when opening and closing apps is causing nausea and motion sickness for me and my wife, and I'm sure for many others.

This is a big usability problem which needs to be addressed!

The previous ios zoomed, but it would fade and zoom in and out from the same point every time. Now it zooms depending on where the icon was located.

PLEASE Apple support and community, help fix this issue in iOS 7.

PS - The lime green colors are way too bright as well. What happened to the taste for design?

iPhone 5, iOS 7

Ummm Apples ARE PCs now!! Lol! Have you been living under a rock? No more Motorola CPU (which was the main difference). Intel / nvidia / and now.

Apple desktops, laptops, servers, are 98% identical now to windows PCs except for the Apple BIOS, casing, and MINOR things.. Oh and the over inflated price is different ;)

I just boot Win 8 / OSX on my Dell PC. All apple computers can also natively boot OS X and windows. No emulation. Why? It's a PC! It just has an apple case, apple bios, and about 25% more expensive for the apple brand. You can build a PC far cheaper than an Apple, and install OSX, windows, or Linux, etc.

The days of Apple vs PC are LONG GONE. Have been for years.

Don't get me wrong. I love my Mac mini. But it's a but dated. Why? I built a 3500$ PC far cheaper than an apple brand (would have cost me 5k via apple and 4k via Dell) and dual boot win/OSX.

... But back on track.... disabling motion in 7.0.3 solves the issues. Opening and closing apps will still zoom... But OSX is built that way... And ios is just a mini, modified version of OSX. If zooming bothers anyone, use feedback, or look away. I'm not being insensitive. Just real. Ios 7 made my mom physicall vomit until I turned on reduce motion. That stopped her from puking, but 7.0.3 took 99% of it away from her

I have no issues with motion in ios7 - LUCKLY.

Whoops. Darn ipad auto correct. Above should read: Intel / nVidia / AMD now...

This case is now closed since the iOS 7.0.3 update allows changing the zoom transition from home screen to app and app to home screen to a fade transition. No more motion sickness. Funny how Apple never made any public statement about this, but they quietly released a fix. Weird.
