APPLE's latest iPhone and iPad operating system, iOS 7, has been the focus of many complaints since it was released on September 18.
One of the strangest yet: the operating system is giving some users motion sickness.
Hundreds of users have taken to the message boards across the Internet to complain about the operating system's use of parallax and zoom animations, reports The Verge.
"I thought I was going crazy today after I updated my phone and I noticed I was feeling queasy every time I used it,"a user named knphoto10, wrote on a thread of the company’s support message board.
"Now I see I am not alone! I just used my phone for about 20 minutes and now I feel like I’m going to vomit."
The operating system features a "Reduce Motion" option, but that doesn’t seem to effect the zoom animations - the issue most frequently cited in the cyber complaints.
Some posters even resorted to calling
Apple's helpline, but were told there’s nothing they can do about the
effects other than to engage the "Reduce Motion" setting.
Message board denizens aren’t the only ones taking issue with the operating system’s too-fast transitions.
Actress
Eliza Dushku, who starred in the television series Dollhouse, was one
of many users to complain about the issue on Twitter and other social
media platforms.
Apple released an update to the operating system on Friday but it does nothing to address the motion sickness-causing features.
