Sci/Tech Apple iOS 7 makes some users literally SICK. As in puking, not upset

Forging new frontiers in fanboi fragility, some members of the iDevice community have taken to Apple's discussion forum to complain that iOS 7 makes them want to puke.

No, their nausea isn't being caused by mere aesthetic revulsion. Rather, the source is iOS 7's many zoom animations along with the slight parallax effect that iOS 7 uses to create the illusion of 3D display layers – home-screen backgrounds, for example, can be seen to shift slightly behind icons as a user rotates their phone.

These bits of UI trickery make some people sick.

"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," wrote the initial poster in an Apple forum entitled "Any way to turn off iOS 7 navigation animations?"

"I have the same problem," writes another. "After using it for two minutes, I felt nauseous."

Do me a favor and do tell me what other news you do like to read. Then I will get the lowest common denominator from all of you and post the news that follows the LCD.

Anything that is bad publicity to big companies or countries in general. And when something very controversial happens. It also makes for great discussions and trolling.

something very controversial happens

• anything in violation of basic human rights
• genetic modification
• nuclear bombs 'n stuff
• random people suffering because of silly stuff (i.e. this thread)

I just got an iPad 3, mostly for web dev, and I have to say: I love iOS 7. It's so slick and flat, it really has a great feeling to it. And I'm not nauseous because of it, which is good .

I don't have a problem with it and have had it for a few days. I cannot see what would cause that and everyone at my job has an Iphone with IOS 7 and nothing wrong with them.

 

[Varine]

I just hate iOS in general.

I hate change too but my youngest daughter forced it on me I like IOS 7 but I am completely new to Apple and really do not see a difference except for having to enter a code to access my stuff

Next moment, I see TH puking with his beer in his hand. He would say, "Dang iOS, made me puke my best homemade beer."

And it stops working whenever the fuck it wants.

 

[The Helper]

Mine doesn't but I have the IPhone 5

 

[Varine]

Just wait until the new one is about out and it patches itself.

 

[The Helper]

I am on 7.2 already last time i checked

 

[Varine]

And iPhone 6 is still not out, making the point null.

Some people are just more susceptible to moving things and get dizzy more quickly.
My girlfriend for example cant even play 3D first person video games or she gets a headache.

Trick statement; your girlfriend can't play video games at all because she's plastic.
