The next big thing in the tech world is already causing headaches. No, really. iOS7 is literally
causing headaches and worse.
The iPhone's new operating system does so much zooming when opening and closing apps
that some people complain it gives them motion sickness. (Via The Verge, video via KHOU)
Users posted more than 100 messages in an Apple discussion page saying, "I'm now going
on day 3 of total nausea," and, "SO DIZZY. I thought I was going to pass out today!"
(Via Apple)
Many of those users wrote they contacted Apple Support only to be told for now, there's no
way to fully turn off the zooming effects. Okay, so go back to iOS6, right?
Not an option anymore. Thursday morning, the International Business Times reported Apple
stopped authorizing iOS6, so you can't downgrade to the old system.
This comes just after a widely distributed hoax that iOS7 made your phone waterproof,
which some people on Twitter admitted they fell for. (Via WXYZ)
Ready for some well-timed irony? iOS7 debuted during Balance Awareness Week. Stuff reports
the group promoting motion sickness awareness, Vestibular Disorders Association, encourages
suffering iOS7 users to "rise up" and email Apple. (Via Stuff)
