Other Eye-strain while using iPhone X and up

How fluent it is has nothing to do with PWM symptoms. Statistically more pros are worse for users. To me and for many users 16 plus was the most tolerable.

Thank you, How does 15 plus fare w.r.t these compared to 16 plus ?

We need more influencers on social media bringing attention to this issue. Apple has no way to even gather feedback. When you return a device because of eyestrain or headaches, they just mark it as "buyer's remorse".

I tried all iPhones and pro versions. 16 plus the most tolerable. At least for me.

I have had the same with my Macbook Pro M3 Pro 14 inch. I corrected monitor settings (factory settings gave headache) and installed an app called Stillcolor which now made the screen comfortable to watch. So in this case for some people there is a solution. On iPhones it's another story.

Glad to hear Stillcolor works for you. There's this caveat on the Stillcolor page:

"Note that while Stillcolor is 100% confirmed to remove GPU/DCP-generated temporal dithering, which is applied directly to the pixel framebuffer right before it's sent to the external/embedded display, the display panel's timing contoller (TCON) may still apply its own dithering/FRC to achieve advertised color bit depth. Whether or not Apple displays actively use TCON dithering in addition to DCP/GPU dithering is under investigation."

Yeah, it's still a russian roulette and no guarantee for everyone. But better then nothing I guess.

What makes it even worse is that it could change with an update, so even if works today, there's no guarantee it will continue to work.

I got tired of returning laptops, so I just switched to Windows. Hate Windows, but my eyes are much happier.
