They’ve been marketed as Super Retina XDR displays for a few generations. I have a theory this will be one of the most tolerable PWM rates, but that’s just blind speculation.
I haven’t found a catch yet, obviously I’d like a top of the range camera, but I can live with that given looking at the screen does not produce an adverse effect. I will cover myself by saying I haven’t been shopping to use it yet, however, it has let me enable ‘Use NFC’ and set up a default credit card for contactless payments.
Phones mainly but it's interesting. I have an iPad 11" that doesn't bother me but the 12.5 I got first did and had to send it back. Every phone I've tried bothered me but they didn't have the same OLED that the 16E does. I ordered a 65" Samsung TV with OLED and it killed me in 2 hours. Sent it back and got a 55", same TV just smaller and has never bothered me.
Sorry to hear that, it is frustrating.
Is your 11” iPad the latest generation with a super advanced OLED display?
This is the one and only thing that gives me hope about it.
Let’s just say Chinese seems to care more for our eyes. It’s just that in this topic some people had more success with BOE oleds. More tolerable not 100% fixed. Samsung the worst and LG in the middle.
Possibly none at all. Apple has very recently cut back on its orders from BOE due to quality issues.
I can now confirm that NFC does work, no issues paying with my G75 this morning.
What was your previous phone and which oled iPhones did you try ?
I was using an iPhone 8 previously. Tried an X and didn’t get on with it, so didn’t try again until the 14 came out. That had to go back. Tried a refurbished 11 but it had iOS 16 already installed and it messed with my head. So stuck with my 8. That began to die so tried 16PM, 16 Pro and 16 all without success. Had to update my 8 to iOS 16 due to a banking app I used and it made it unusable for more than 30 seconds at a time. So some issues are definitely software related as well as hardware, as could use it without issue for hours prior to updating to iOS16.whatever.
This was me. The regular 14 worked for some reason. I’m now on a 16 pro (LG screen) which also somehow works for me.
Have you every tried to correspond with Apple about this issue? I had the same thing happened to me on older LCD iPhones and also the iPhone SE2 and SE3. Depending on the phone/iPad I can use up to late versions of iOS 15 and on some up to iOS 16.1.1. I wrote to their accessibility group last year and got a response that they would look into it but never really heard anything else.
