iOS 7 has many snazzy effects and cool new animations, but it's not for everyone: Some users have reported feeling dizzy from the operating system's motion effects, while others (my father included) are having issues reading the system's default text. But you don't have to deal with feeling ill every time you look at your iPhone—there's another way. Here's how to de-animate and re-boldify iOS 7.
Reduce motion in iOS 7
If the dynamic wallpaper movement on iOS 7 has you feeling seasick, don't panic: There's no need to throw your iPhone overboard. You can disable this animation and iOS 7's other more drastic shifts by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion.
After you flick this switch, your home screen wallpaper should once again be as still as it was in iOS 6.
Make the text larger and bolder
Having trouble reading text in your apps? There are two solutions hidden away in Settings > General > Accessibility. The first, Larger Type, hooks into iOS 7's Text Kit framework and lets you set a predefined text size for apps to use; you can make that text even bigger by flipping the Larger Dynamic Type toggle. Currently, Larger Type only works for apps that support it—this includes any built-in app on your device, but your third-party programs may not yet have implemented this feature.
