Help! Motion of user interface is nauseating iOS 7

I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 7 yesterday. It is certainly very bright! But my main problem is with the motion of the Icons on the Home screen, even after toggling to "Reduce Motion of user interface, including the parallax effect on icons and alerts" the speed at which they zoom in is visually disturbing.


I wish there was a way to revert to the way in which they appeared in iOS 6 which did not have this wince making motion sickness inducing feeling.

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1, Upgraded to iOS 7

sur4dye,


Thank you. I got an email notification from the above trendy guy and responded as I never have or have had the need to. Just now I read yours. I hope you set him straight. I get the impression that he is clearly not on your professional level.


He was cruel to be cool and completely ignorant. And I hated that. Too many have gotten on this thread (and there are others like it) with real issues who were apologizing!!! and he had no right to make people feel stupid.


Thank you for setting him straight and making all of these people understand that 'it's not just me."

As the person who started this whole discussion, I have to say, appleuser1322, I really appreciated your response to that "trendy" person.


It is all well and good being trendy, but for goodness sake the OS of the iPhone and iPad is something that will be used by a wide variety of people, with varying physical capabilities and afflictions, and therefore the design should cater for these.


OK if Apple now want the default interface of iOS 7 to be fluid, mobile, very white, bright and difficult to read with thinned down text, poor definition of keyboard and keypad and App commands that are like a gossamer thread fair enough. But, and this is a very BIG but ~ the Accessibility feature should have been enhanced so that people who become nauseous when viewing the icons zooming across the screen, or the Apps closing by whizzing to the side, again with a rapid zoom effect, would give an option to stop this and select a zoom from the centre of the screen or fade option.


I would also suggest that the Accessibility menu should offer a choice of fonts and the option to select the 3D effects and colour scheme that made iOS 6 so much easier to see in bright light conditions than iOS 7


The "trendy" person is fortunate not to be affected by motion sickness or other problems triggered by visual stimuli. I can assure him it is a most unpleasant experience.


I am surprised at Apple ever passing iOS 7 through the beta testing phase in its present form. I cannot imagine these problems arising if Steve Jobs was still at the helm.

I just read in the news that Apple's 7.03 update now available will supposedly eliminate the problem with motion sickness that so many have been experiencing after updating when ios 7 came out.

If you google it, there are many articles addressing this issue. Let's hope it works!
