iOS 7 users reporting motion sickness, one in four of them

iOS 7 comes with some impressive new features, but for one in four iOS 7 users, it may also come with a motion sickness side effect.

According to a poll from uSwitch, 27 percent of iOS 7 users have reported experiencing motion sickness due to the animations present in the OS. The problem was first reported last month on Apple’s online support forums, with the zooming in animations making people  nauseous. The slight parrallax effect is also being blamed for the issue.

We’re not sure if we can quite call this a flaw of the iOS 7 operating system, given it will be down to personal preference — although iOS 7 has had many other problems, including but not limited to an iMessage bug rendering it unusable.
