I'm simply stating my experience. When PwmMen posts that he is using his 15 Pro Max with no symptoms, I don't see him getting a reaction of trying to just find a way to live with PWM.
Besides, even though you take a lot of measurements, it still doesn't qualify you to predict when or how someone is going to react to different screens. However, I do think Apple can do more with OLED screens, and I wish they offered an LCD version besides just the SE.
For some reason, I feel singled out, and have in the past, in reporting having some success with a model. I'm not the only one that can use one of these phones and have had issues with some of the other old OLEDs. I certainly can't explain it, but neither can you.
A disclaimer I have been a long time reader of this thread and I did saw your post before. So I created an account to respond your post.
There is a reason why when other users posted their success with a particular model, they received warm response.
It was because how you said it, and what you are suggesting from it.
When other members posted about their success with a model, they are specifically referring to only themselves.
For your feedback, what you often suggested is that if a particular model worked for you, then it ought to have worked for everyone else.
What you may have unintentionally done is to have put "yourself in the center of the universe".
Unless you have a way to scientifically project how your own personal brainwaves/ neurons function and then transfer to each and everyone of us to become an exact replicate of you, whatever that you are suggesting and trying to push upon other members are of little help.
Instead, what you have been doing was to dismiss measurements and claiming that it is to be invalidated.
Your action is like encouraging someone that is extremely heat intolerance to move to a country with a daily climate of 35 degrees Celsius / 91.4
°F, and with a humidity of over 80%. Then, you make the claim that climate measurements does not matter and it is to be dismissed for it does not predict any thing for you.
Since according to your claim, 91.4
°F w/ humidity of over 80% has worked for you. So it is still better to move to the country to find out for oneself if it is suitable for them.
This is like setting the person that is already suffering from extreme heat intolerance up for failure.
Granted, with PWM/ TLM there might be conflicting results presented at times but I hope you can understand things are not as linear as climate where nature only has temperature and humidity %.
For instance, the Apple mini-LED panels has not 1, but 3 different PWM frequencies.
15khz base flicker
6000 additional flickering on top of it
~80 hertz flickering triggered only in lower brightness
Each of us individuals can be affected by any one of the above.
The iphone 15/15 plus has 2 different frequencies that happens simultaneously.
60 hertz sine wave with low modulation
480 hertz with higher modulation
May I ask then ~ does nature have all these weird figures with temperature climate? Do we have a base 65
°F reading with an additional 91.4
°F on top of it? No. Does our climate have a dry humidity of 40% with an additional wet humidity of 80% on top on it? No again. If it really does, many of us who are sensitive will fall ill and sick.
Does screen panels today have all these weird figures? Yes. Why? Was it because of nature? Or, because of man-made engineering?
If it is the latter, can we, as a community, do something about it? Yes. By presenting and sharing measurements and figures to show why it affects us the way they do.
