iPhone iOS 7 Fade Effect

No they changed this in 7.0.3

 

The reduce motion switch now turns off parallax, and the zoom effect when opening/closing apps. So you either have parallax with zoom, or not, you can't separate the two. I like both the parallax effect, and zoom animations, so I leave them on, however it would be nice if You could turn those two things off separately.

 

Some people said the zooming made them dizzy so Apple made the zooms optional.

Follow ra4oasis's advice to turn them back on if you want them. I have, I think the fades look crappy.

 

It's a poor solution from Apple.

The zooming effect is duration more than anything. Though I changed my wallpaper recently and never realised when you open a folder, the wallpaper zooms too. It's a little too arty farty all this zooming and slow animations, but at the same time, I'd like a tiny bit.

 

While it would be good to have separate options for that, it would seem that the reduce option effect likely meant to do both all along (since if it really was just for parallax only it would have simply been named a parallax option rather than anything else).
