speed4evr Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 http://news.yahoo.com/new-iphone-users-report-feeling--nausea--and--headaches--101841690.html I haven't updated my iPod Touch to iOS7 yet, so I don't know if this is true, but is anyone feeling these type of side-effects? I've had iOS 7 for a few weeks on my iPhone 5 and don't have nausea or side effects lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyallcubes Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Just because you do not feal the effects of these others does not mean its non existent. Everyone reacts different to different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuffinman Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 One of my best friends suffers from extreme motion sickness. Anything from playing first person shooters to air travel or riding in a car that he isn't driving makes him sick as hell. He does have an iphone 5, not sure if he updated his or not but I will ask him and see if it bothers him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotmeterf64 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I puked my brains out when I got my 5S. But it may be because I ate at Waffle House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dstar2002 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I never even notice my background moving, unless I'm concentrating on it to watch it move. As for making me sick to my stomach. I call BS. Never had problems with such things, and I get sick from roller coasters. Fail troll fails. Apple needs to educate the average user more so they can shut these things off easily. That's the fix. Whether people think it's a real issue or not, doesnt matter, it has merit. Moving things on a screen that move in ways you dont expect are exactly what cause motion sickness. I can deep-sea fish in 20 foot seas all day with people puking around me, but ask me to read a book in a car for 20 minutes and I nearly pass out I get so dizzy and sick.

Fraydog Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Accessibility settings are easy to find, and Apple has more of them with more accessibility options than any other mobile OS to my knowledge. If the parallax makes you queasy, you can shut off animations and the effect is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A454nova Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I don't know what you all are talking about... live wallpaper is awesome. You just need the right app and gif pic. Now, what happens when your wife finds your using a live gif background and sees the best part of the gif bouncing... that's the bad part.

hescominsoon Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 ok, so how many people have you seen experience this? me and my wife turned off this parallax garbage BEFORE it made us sick enough to vomit. She told me to either revert back to 6 or turn the "wiggly desktop" off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For you its easy, for my 57 year old mother, it wasn't easy, she had to ask me, and it actually took me more than just a few seconds. After finding it, i shut if off on my iPad too, so it was worth my time. Most of us have tech easy, the majority of people are not like us.

SpenceSouth Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I've seen a couple of FB posts from my friends who complain about sickness after using their phones for awhile. I haven't played with iOS 7 myself so I don't have any personal experience on the matter myself.However, it's important to keep in mind that people react differently to different things. These people can very well be feeling uncomfortable or sick because of it. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't make it any less real.I'm going to find a good article on how to turn off the setting in question and spread it around. At least it's an easy fix. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic13 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) The Parallax effect doesn't bother me at all, but I have it turned off, along with other battery intensive features, like "background app refresh". iOS 7 itself is more battery intensive than iOS 6, and when coupled with a 2 year old device and poor network conditions my 4S's battery just gets annihilated within 3-4 hours. It looks way better though, our 1st gen iPad on iOS 5 just looks so clunky now. If only the battery life remained the same.

The Dave Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Even newer devices don't last as long. My relatively new iPad 3 WiFi only doesn't last nearly as long as it did with iOS 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
