Inausea cybersickness, an effect being reported by some users of the new iphone 5s The new iphone has been out for about a week. I was due for an update and I got one and think it is great, with improved batter life, etc. Some people are reporting another non reported feature which includes dissiness, nausea and headaches, which are symptoms often associated with 3D movies with some people. Apparently, some of the newest features may have an adverse effect on some people, however, those features can be turned off. Check out this blog. Your New iPhone Can Cause “Cyber-Sickness”, iNausea, Dizziness, Headaches, Literally Following the release of Apple’s iOS7, users complained of dizziness and headaches. Initially, the complaints were dismissed, but closer scrutiny reveals the complaints are valid.

It’s exactly how I used to get car sick if I tried to read in the car,” wrote another. Just like motion sickness, cybersickness is caused by disagreement between your eyes and the movement perceived by your balance system (the vestibular system in your inner ear).
