You can't revert.
As for why, I have heard reports that some people are having issues with the "zoom in" / "zoom out" features and the fact that they now happen from the icon tapped, not always from a constant location on the screen. This may be causing your "visual overstimulation". I know this happened to me many, many years ago when I used to play games on my PC. The 3D rendering engine started impacting my eyes, and I would get the same way within a few minutes of playing those games.
Turn off the parallax effect:
Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion = On
Hi I did this yesterday and now that I am using it again I am still having the same nausea and dizzy feeling. What else can I do please.
Nothing. The minimalist design is overdone. Too white, to little contrast, to unrealistic interface for people. Maybe for the select group of artsy people it's fine. For most it's ridiculous.
Nothing!
You'll have to wait until Apple come up with an official solution.
I have read that many people are complaining about dizziness and nausea.
Do you have this effect only when using the iPad's home screen?
I just called Apple support and thy are working on an upgrade that should be out within the week? It's not necessarily for this problem but the tech said that unless people tell Apple about these issues, they have no way of knowing of them. Please tell everyone you know who is experiencing dizzy spells and Nassau on their iPhone or iPads, to notify apple so they can work on a fix!!!
Not sure if it's only the home screen, I think it's from flipping back and forth to all screens? I love the newer brighter icons on the apps but the tech guy at the apple store told me that the movement of them is what seems to be the problem. Grrrr
You can notify Apple yourself:
I guess that I must be lucky, because I feel absolutely nothing.
I have opened and closed apps endlessly, going through all screens, tilting the screen with parallax effect on many times in all directions.
I don't feel any dizziness nor nausea.
That's great, you are fortunate to not be sensitive to this problem. I am mad that I can't use my ipad now but can't do anything about it either. I was told I have to wait until enough complaints come in to apple and then they will put out another upgrade. Grrrr frustrating to say the least.
There are complaints, you bet!
The whole world's press is talking about it...
This may sound silly, but would it help, if you only use one eye?
I will try anything and thanks for the suggestions. have a great weekend.
OK, you too!
The following is from user RandomName42, who provides lots of ideas. It seems much of this may have come from this article:
At any rate, RandomName42's post follows ---------------------------------------------------
The font size doesn't affect the font size of the icons, which the new folder layout makes even harder to read than it is against a regular background.
I deal with migraines and avoid bright light where I can, so figuring out how to work around Apple's design on this one is going to be huge. I'm encountering (and working on finding a way to avoid) huge unbroken bright spaces in the OS. I've known for a while that, at work, my monitors will eventually give me headaches but my iPad wouldn't. I'd been using the iPad as a break from monitor glare to stop them from kicking in full-blast. I didn't realize until yesterday that it was because so much of my iPad screen is darker - deeper greys, for example, in the settings menu, than the blue of my menus in Outlook. I had the new iOS for about 10 minutes before the first migraine started. I love Apple's attention to aesthetics and design mentality, but goodness they use migraine triggers a lot in this design.
Potentially useful ideas:
We'll probably just have to deal with the big fuzzy bar across the bottom of the screen and having to look more carefully at the big fuzzy squares behind folders now. It helps to think of them as Monet menus.
