Reduce parallax, motion should be two different settings.

No I don't. I merely said that Apple is not a democracy. Which it is not.
Want something changed, complain loud enough to Apple.
no, you said you like it, so you're fine with itthat being your criterion for acceptability (never mind how anyone else feels).
and you're right about the complaining loudly parthas gotten me superb results.
1. I'm allowed to like the animations.
2. I never said you had to like them, and I never said you were wrong for wanting to disable them separately from parallax.
3. If you can get apple to implement a change you will be happy with, then go for it.
It seems like it was meant to control more than just parallax. It's called reduce motion, not disable parallax or something like that--they actually did rename it to that in one beta, but then changed it back. So, it's somewhat logical to say it was always meant to apply to more than just disabling parallax and reducing motion around the OS in general (where the animations more or less fall into that kind of category). So perhaps Apple corrected/enhanced a setting that was supposed to work that way to begin with, or at least in the end.
You said (and I quote) "I'm fine with it being a single toggle" which I took to literally mean "I like it, and would leave it the way it is based on that". If I misunderstood you, I apologize.
And I really believe that during the beta process this forum's discussions shaped the final version of iOS 7. That's part of what makes me think the whole motion sickness thing was boguswould've been addressed during that process. We got it nearly perfectthat was the point of the beta!

to call two things one does not make it so
You understood me correctly. I like both the animations and parallax so I'm fine with them being controlled by single toggle. so what. My interaction with iOS has bearing on one person in this world, me. It doesn't mean that you should do things the way I do. It doesn't mean you should like the things that I do.
It most certainly does not mean that I am trying to control either the way you interact with your device or feature you might want.
It can make it so if the one thing involves more than one thing. The setting is for reducing motion, and therefore by its name/definition it should reduce motion, whatever that motion might be--as parallax involves motion, it should reduce that, and as animations involve motion, it should do that as well.
That said, if you saw my earlier replies, I do agree that having separate controls would be better, but given the single control that is there now, the behavior that applies to it now in 7.0.3 is more consistent with that control vs. the behavior that applied to it before 7.0.3 (where it was really just treated as a parallax on/off setting, and not a general reduce motion setting as its name implied).
As for the whole beta process--in theory it is as you described it, but in practice it doesn't work out that way more often than not unfortunately. So nothing surprising there (again, unfortunately).
So if he doesn't like it and doesn't care that other peoples preferences it's ok and if you like it and don't care about other peoples preferences it's not ok...
So in short if he doesn't like it you shouldn't and it shouldn't be the other way round... Funny people man... ###
I sent Apple feedback, and I hope they consider making two separate toggles.
Where did you post it? Seems feedback site has forum for everything except iOS. iPhone and iPad seem closest.
I too am not a fan of parallax but I like the zooming animation. It doesn't make me sick at all.
Now, I'm stuck using parallax if I want the zoom animation? This is lame!
Why didn't they just add another toggle?

Well, animation is a motion! And so is the parallax! Toggle does exactly what it says when ON. It reduces these motions.
And personally I will never have it ON.
Yes, there's no feedback for iOS itself, so I submitted my feedback through the iPad link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
