Thanks mate, those scrolling lines don't fill me with extreme confidence, but the lack of persistent flicker compared to the 13 makes me think we just might get away with it, my hands are slowly gravitating towards my wallet
Got a tip for us?

Thanks for that.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but it seems like an improvement from prior years?
Sigh. Only one way to know for sure and that's try it when it gets here.
Could be another six hours before UPS gets to my location.
Is there any chance @badger1212 you could do the same but in 240fps to see if it picks up anymore severe flicker?
And now I have just placed my wallet firmly back in the drawer, turning the key, and proceeding to throw it out the window.
Might have been transcoded - video info is showing 24fps - the 120fps one is fine
I have found that sometimes promotion will cause this, maybe try it with 120hz disabled if it doesn't resolve on its own in a few days?
Do you turn brightness up to near 100% and then use reduce white point to make it the most tolerable, or do you find that even when lowering brightness, you have no problems?
I’m setting mine up right now. 14 Pro Max. I could definitely “sense” the pwm. I won’t know if it’s going to be a problem yet. I do have to remember to put my eye drops in.
First impression = wish I'd got the Pro Max. The camera module is so large I've got nowhere to place my index finger! 🤦♂️
The warmer display is the first adjustment phase. I've got a warm reddish, tilting to green oled. Already missing cool blue lcd.
(I'll try to stop moaning, if I can keep this phone I will be getting an iPad Pro 12.9 - so a smaller phone will have its advantages).

Great, even more doubt - didn't think of that jimmy, the camera modules are huge, have you got it in a case?
Zollotech's iPhone 14 Pro Max review out - PWM no flicker at 240fps

That's encouraging. I wish he would test it with a white background because that seems to be more informative. My phone is still not here yet so I have nothing to add.
I’ve only been using it a few minutes now but I’ve got a bit of a headache. Hopefully just coincidence because I am prone to headaches anyway. I feel a bit “swimmy” but I’m also excited and it’s hard for me to not pay way too much attention trying to figure out if it’s messing with my head… results inconclusive so far…
My eyes do feel strained… hmmm… I can’t keep using this crappy old 11 though…
Hopefully I’m just overanalyzing the situation right now.
I’m gonna restore from my iCloud backup so I can play with it more consistently.

I had a bit of a sweeping brain tingle at first and my right eye is a little strained + my contact lens are feeling dry (got to blink more). As always, Friday is not a great day for iphone release as it's been along and tiring work week which doesn't help. So far not bad, best result for a Pro iphone for me.
Some positivity:
Sweeping gestures are already like second nature.
Speakers are awesome.
Reachability is a God send.
120hz looks better than real life.
Black metal band is so much better than silver. 👍

Just got it. My plan is to not transfer my Sim and data from my iPhone 11 because I'm very skeptical.
Instead I'm just setting up as a new phone. Haven't played much with it because there's a stupid update to run first.
If after a day or so I have no problems then I'll erase the phone and transfer over my Sim and data from my 11.
Will report back!

That’s what I’m doing but I was wondering… can I just activate the esim on the 14PM and if it doesn’t work transfer the esim back to my 11?
Not too bad. I could pick up on the PWM during setup and it bothered me a bit in the beginning. Thus far it’s been at least as usable as iPhone 13 Mini, on a larger display.
In retrospect this is a significant improvement over iPhone 12 Pro Max where I got constant throbbing just from staring at the keyboard—which I just got the slightest hint of before posting this. Still not perfect, but this generation shows some promise.
I’m fairly nonchalant at this point where I could give this iPhone up if it’s causing headaches.
