This is not a placebo. The screen protector below helps….. not by that much but it definitely contributes with all the other settings like double invert, RWP etc. I have almost fully switched to iPhone 16e. I only don’t like that it’s matte which is firm when scrolling but i can live with that.


Only seems to be available in the US.

So I’ve been experimenting with phones again lately.

I pushed, and pushed, and pushed to use a 15PM and make it work. Despite some good days a week or two in, I’d be lying to myself if I said it didn’t give me major headaches.

Also have a 17 Pro from work because it was my renewal period and I figured nothing to lose. I haven’t used that much because it’s sim locked and I need T-Mobile and Verizon so I plan on experimenting more with that later. But early signs were not good.

Then I tried an SE3. While that is better, it’s still not perfect.

Then back to the XR. So, so much better than the others.

Looking at my old SE2, the XR and SE3, the XR and SE2 look very similar. The SE3 is much warmer toned, but it’s also practically neon looking. The best example is the health icon. The heart is so bright on the SE3 but looks much more muted on the XR and SE2.

What is this?! Temporal dithering? It’s insane.
This was my experience too. The last phones that worked for me with no issues at all were SE 2020 and XR. 11 and SE 2022 are barely acceptable. Everything else has been unusable.
