I am a heavy user and can't use the iphone 16 for that long. I use my 16 for calling, texting, webbrowsing and e-mailing. Otherwise i get headeache and eye strain on my left eye. I am using my 11 for videos, games and social media. this works pretty well. However it bothers me that i have to use 2 different cables to charge my phones now. I might try the X14t pro or I am thinking to use a LCD Android phone 6.7 inch for videos etc. Then i can use 1 cable to charge my phones.
I haven't noticed eye strain when using an iPhone, but I used the 16 Pro for a couple of weeks and it gave me motion sickness. I don't get it with the standard iPhone 16. My theory (could be wrong) is that it's due to way the ProMotion adapts the hz of the screen depending on the situation, whereas the 60hz of the standard 16 remains consistent.
Good luck!
While I'm away in the EU, I decided to put an incell LCD on a 12 Mini, via a store. Not sure which model it is; it might be a Repart brand.
In any case, it didn't work out. It hurt my eyes very quickly. Also added a bottom lip to the phone, so it wasn't exactly the right measurements.
That’s what I said. I ended up with an iPhone 6S Plus — had to go waaaaaay back.
I had a 15 pro max before but had serious eye strain, it may be a long shot thinking the normal 15 pro version will be a different experience , will give you guys updates as the phone arrives tomorrow.
I have very high hopes for 2025. I hear positives rumours about OP, Honor and Xiaomi. I hope they will be truth. Eventually Apple will follow 2-3 years later like they alwasy do
"The OnePlus 13 will use the BOE X2 panel. It will have "2K" resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and is of course LTPO."
😟
The moment i switched back to my 15 PRO my eyes felt relieved. Both Samsung panels so quality of it was topnotch. I wouldnt say the 15 pro screen is perfect but i can look at my phone again. Lets see what the 17 series brings.
Be happy you can use the 15p. It’s a good phone. Almost no difference with the 16. I got headaches from it
I tried the iPhone 16 today in a store and I think that unfortunately I will need to choose something else.. after less than 10 minutes I started to get the usual tingling in the forehead and eyes; it was 100 brightness and I did not try the reduce white point option but basically it gives me the same feeling of my wife's 13 so... lcd for me from now on, maybe even on a more recent iPhone with a third party replacement but I will keep avoiding oleds.
So have been using 15 pro for past 10-15 minutes and surprisingly no symptoms yet..will keep you guys updated.
Wow. The 16 Pro charts look vastly different than previous years.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro smartphone review - The small Pro phone with the big display
The Apple iPhone 16 Pro is a 6.3-inch smartphone with 8 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of storage. Its display (OLED) has a resolution of 2622 x 1206 pixels, runs at 120 Hz and is said to achieve a brightness of up to 2000 nits. Other features include iOS 18, a 48 MP main camera, a 48 MP...
Update: So occasional tightness from the back of my head that seems to go away right away and eye strain on left side of the eye..nothing too intense yet
Update: As some of you might have already expected it’s the same song and dance with the 15 pro and I will be returning as well..will stick it out with 13 pro may consider regular 16 but very disappointed.
Back then did you search for EK Pro LCD incells? It seems they are the best.

I didn't get on with the One Plus 12. Honor Magic 5 and 6 pro have been the only ones I've been comfortable with.
It depends which iPhone model you are trying to replace. I used Elekworld's EBR panel, when I was trying incell displays.

Are they better or worse, I read the review and was trying to figure out if it was a good or bad screen on the 16 Pro from what they were saying, at one point they were saying it shouldn’t effect sensitive viewers but under the charts they seem to be saying the screen would effect some?
