Why is this topic still going on? They’ve made an entire device for you guys! The Xr. If you eyes can’t handle OLED then use that. This issue does not affect everyone so I would be hard pressed to call it a “defect”. Just like some people are affected by flashing images and warnings are posted. Does that mean that they should remove any form of flashing imagery from cinematography just for the percentile that are affected??
Honestly, I could see your reasons for upset when the X was launched but they’ve now released an LCD version. If you wanna whine about the resolution and pretend you notice a deal breaking difference then move on over to Android. I’m sure there’s a device that will satisfy you. Otherwise grab a Xr and be done with it.
If people are claiming to suffer headaches from the Xr also then it could be something in the FaceID technology in which case I advise to either just use your pin and turn off FaceID or otherwise move on cause you’re outta luck.
I don’t think Apple has done anything wrong here. If your complaint is for them not including an appropriate health warning with their product (I’ve no idea) then by all means bring this to their attention as that IS an issue (I should note that a thread on a random discussion forum does not count as bringing it to their attention), although if said warning does already exist then the responsibility lies solely with you.
Long story short. Report it to Apple already, return your devices for now and stop beating a dead horse.
There are alternatives, just not alternatives people want to use. There's a difference. It's fine if they want to use Apple and all that, just don't talk out the side of your mouth while doing it.
You can support a company and be critical but don't say you're going to vote with your wallet when you're really not.
Agreed - In my case, I have an iPhone 8 Plus, 2nd Gen iPad Pro and 2015 MacBook Pro. I am clearly not happy with subsequent models, but my current devices fit the bill for me and Apple's software and ecosystem is unparalleled, in particular iMessage. Android is not an option for me. I also have an Apple Watch 4 which has made a huge difference in my life and 3 Apple TVs. Respectfully, I think Apple missed the mark with their XS, XR and 3rd Gen iPads for varying reasons focusing specifically on the way they implemented their display technology. (Probably that's a minority view.) Also noteworthy are the nosebleed prices Apple is charging for these new devices. It's pretty clear from the supply chain that in particular the XR will not meet sales expectations and the stock is tanking. It's recently lost over $100B in value.

Your conclusion is that eye strain is caused by the Liquid Retina technology and not FaceID, as far as i understand.
That would be actually quite good, as i feel FaceID will last longer than the current display technology
Not sure. But I do have an issues with both new LCD/Liquid Retina and OLED displays. The faceID is creepy to me when it logs you into sites, but most people probably don't feel that way. I don't hold out much hope Apple will materially change their display technology. Between iPhone 6/S/7/S/8 and Plus variants, they hardly changed the basic screen or design. That's 5 years. Apple is also very stubborn. They know what's best for the customer, PERIOD. The butterfly keyboard design introduced on the 2016 MacBook/MBPs has been panned as having little or no key travel and Apple has been skewered by even some its most ardent fanboys. Yet in subsequent interactions, they have merely tweaked it.

"Butterfly keyswitches are a design failure that should be abandoned. They’ve been controversial, fatally unreliable, and expensive to repair since their introduction on the first 12” MacBook in early 2015. Their flaws were evident immediately, yet Apple brought them to the entire MacBook Pro lineup in late 2016.
After three significant revisions, Apple’s butterfly keyswitches remain as controversial and unreliable as ever. At best, they’re a compromise acceptable only on the ultra-thin 12” MacBook, and only if nothing else fits. They have no place in Apple’s mainstream or pro computers."

Your snarky, disagreeable, take it leave it reply is disrespectful to the hundreds who have posted on this thread and the thousands that have viewed and perhaps been aided in their buying decisions. Who made you the presiding judge of this forum? "Long story short" - if you don't like this thread, take your nasty rants elsewhere or start your own thread.
