Apple's iOS 7.1 update cures motion sickness problem

 While motion sickness is a feeling normally reserved for long car journeys and boat trips, when iOS 7 was launched on the iPhone and iPad some users complained of dizziness and physical illness from looking at their screens.

 The symptoms were apparently caused by Apple's heavy use of "screen motion" - animations and zooming - in the operating system's user interface.

 The main cause for complaint was "parallax" - an effect used to create a perception of depth on the iPhone's home screen. "Wallpaper, icons and alerts shift slightly as you move your phone," according to Apple's website.

 There has always been a “Reduce Motion” button to switch parallax off, but users complained about losing the much-loved zooming effect, which was replaced with a crossfade when the option was enabled.

 But, as goes the famous saying, an Apple update a day keeps motion sickness at bay (or thereabouts).
