“world’s most advanced operating system” claimed Apple when they launched iOS 7 earlier this fall.

But now it turns out that the new animations and motion effects that come with the update, simply may be too advanced. Many Apple users claim namely that the nauseous and dizzy after they updated to iOS 7

Will “carsick”

“zoom animations everywhere makes me literally nauseous and gives me headaches. It feels just like when I get car sick, “claims an Apple user on a forum online.

But the iPhone can make you nauseous? It would “TV 2 helps you” know and went to plant science to figure it out. This is probably the world’s first measurement of iOS 7-sickness, and the result surprises expert.

– I had not actually thought we were going to get any effect, but it got surprisingly enough, says Karl Fredrik Nord Falk, one of the foremost experts on dizziness.

Unsuspecting test people

To find out if you actually get sick of iOS 7, we Hanks four unsuspecting test subjects aged 9 to 66 years. They did not know what would be involved in, they only got told to meet at the National Hospital in Oslo.

– None of the subjects have a clue what this is about. For purely research purposes, it is better if you do not know what kind of effort you are exposed to, says Karl Fredrik Nord Falk at Rikshospitalet in Oslo.

He is PhD Candidate and has researched the damage to the balance system and dizziness in seven years. Before the trial, he was skeptical:

– I think very few people get dizzy and nausea of ??using the iPhone. Although the new operating system has a lot of movement animations I think only very sensitive people will notice something. But it will be interesting to see this test, it has never been done anything like this before, says North Falk.


Advanced device

To find out if you can actually get sick of the new OS had our four test subjects stand on an advanced platform balance. The device measures the tiny movements that show how shaky the body are in different situations.

– The more unstable the device measures your body is, the more likely it is to be sick, explains Northern Falk.

All test subjects were first stand on the device without the phone that their center of gravity should be recorded. Then they got an iPhone with the old operating system, iOS 6 They should enter the code 1234 to open the phone, open an app, scroll a bit and close it, open another app, scroll a bit and close it.

Then they would do exactly the same with an iPhone with the new operating system, iOS 7

were measured how shaky the subjects were when they kept the phone close to your face and far away.

Surprising Results

– Yes, I’m a bit surprised. I did not think we’d see any difference, says Karl Fredrik Nord Falk at the hospital when he summarizes the results of the test.

Test results show that three out of four test subjects became more unstable when the pressure on the iPhone with iOS 7 on long distance, compared with when they pressed the iPhone with iOS 6

– The machine detects more unsteadiness when people tested with iOS 7 On two of the people, there is little effect, but one of them is clearly reflected, so it is an interesting finding, said North Falk.

Five times as shaky with iOS 7

that was most unsteady with iOS 7 was Elias Borge (9). He was over five times as shaky with iOS 7, compared with iOS 6, when he held the phone far away from him.

Also Roger Meltoft became more unsteady by iOS 7

– I noticed that I actually swayed a little more in the body, he said.

When test subjects held phones closer to him, were two of the four that were more unstable with iOS 7, compared with iOS 6 In this test, Ann C. Elseth most shaky, she was twice as shaky with the new operating system, compared to the old one.

balance system responds

With the new iOS 7 update comes with many new animations and motion effects. Among other moves wallpapers to match how you hold the phone in addition zoomed all the apps in and out each time they are opened and closed.

– There are many reasons why a person gets sick, and one of the reasons is the one that makes you get car sick. It happens to the balance system behind the ear, which obtains information from both vision and body. For example, reading a book in the car, so get your eyes the impression that you’re sitting still, but the balance system detects movement, which makes you nauseous, explains Karl Fredrik Nord Falk.

Since

eyes in most situations will perceive what is happening around you as you press on your phone, so the expert believes that some would experience dizziness.

Advice to those who get dizzy

Our testing iOS 7 dizziness suggests that one can actually get shaky and dizzy from the new OS.

– Based on these data, I can not drag a safe conclusion which states that it is iOS 7 causes dizziness and nausea, but the machine has noted that our test subjects became more unsteady. It’s definitely interesting findings, saying the North Falkland.

iPhone and iPad, you can activate “reduce movements” in the settings, but the function will only make the moving background images less clear, do not remove all the animations.

people who are poor by iOS 7 has vertigo following expert advice:

– It may be that this is a habit, that in the beginning so you experience more nausea. But the more you use it, the more the nausea subsides. In the same way that sailors can experience seasickness first time they are out at sea, the iPhone can be improved gradually, Nordalk says and continues:

– But if it gets too bad, then maybe you will acquire Samsung, he laughs.

For several weeks “TV 2 help» tried to get a comment from Apple, but we have not succeeded.
