Other Eye-strain while using iPhone X and up

[Evilxardas]

Is there not a risk of negative effect build-up? Examples:- I could use an iPhone 13 for nearly a week before my eye muscles strained so much that I had headaches. The iPhone 16 Pro Max was symptom-free for 2 days and nights until the third day when my eyes felt punched and I had a skull-splitting migraine! If your eyes and brain start to hurt, it"s your body telling you to stop.


I can't help but feel that screen protectors are just snake oil.......

I don't think anyone has a definite answer. In my experience if a device gives me a migraine in 15 to 30 minutes there is no way to use it for long periods. I once tried using a gaming PC that gave me migraine problems two days in a row during covid lockdown and I was with migraine for 2 weeks and couldn't use any device anymore.

The company notebook was causing me headaches after a couple of hours but I noticed that with a 30/60 minute break the headache would go away. So I insisted and managed to adapt and now I can work 8 hours with a slight headache after several hours but that goes away with breaks.

Back to the topic, we are talking about phones so if using it 30/40 minutes in a row doesn't cause problems, I would keep the phone and try to reduce the hours of use.

Another thing to mention specially felt on Galaxy. Why the f those OLEDs have colors glowing and popping like Christmas lights. I hate that. I tried natural too but it was still soooo punchy for my taste.

I just used an Oneplus 12. I can’t say about eye comfort. I still don’t like android and i will not keep using it. But let me tell you this: screen is more natural and more crystal clear than s24…… love it

I don’t like Samsung devices either. And I rather keep using iOS. But android manufacturers from china are trying to fix this issue. Did you notice any improvement from the OP regarding PWM?

Oneplus was also more smooth on scrolling and more natural on touch. S24 was super fast on reactions…. in a way my finger couldn’t follow….. still 3rd party apps on Oneplus not good looking….. like web pages!

I didn’t use it for long to judge. But screen colors and text clarity was perfect unlike over saturated and over glowing S24. Also a lot more pleasant to hold while S24 is like a mini tablet.

So, are you done with the S24U trial? I have always felt the Samsung OS is a little too Fisher Price in design compared with iOS, but you could heavily modify it to your taste. Are you bailing early because you don't like Android VS iOS - or because you cannot comfortably use the phone?

Speaking for myself, I reeeeeeally don't want to switch to Android. I've been with the iPhone since launch, and despite its weird ways with settings and locked down approach, I appreciate the perceived security, Face ID, iCloud, smoothness, being able to visit stores for repairs, etc. But Apple isn't changing for our benefit, in fact, they are moving further away from any chance of solutions for us sensitive folk - so I/we cannot stay.

Yeah I already got discomfort from day one. Blurry vision and few head irritations here and there. I will try a 16 plus somewhere down the road. Now i ordered watch series 10 because my 7 is out of battery…..
