We're similar. I mean, I don't want to use the OCD definition lightly because there are people diagnosed with it with real and worse issues, but I think it's a spectrum and we might be a little bit. What I noticed is that some techniques work to lessen it. Like don't indulge or enforce the thoughts, and don't "check" the defect every time it pops in your mind. The wabi sabi Japanese philosophy also works, trying to let go of the quest for perfection, accepting instead the beauty in life's imperfections. What I'm saying is that I experienced that trying not to care eventually works. There's nothing to gain worrying and thinking about it, even if we're predisposed to it. Not giving a f is hard but it's really the key to happiness..
Yeah I was able to see it with my eyes really forcing it in a completly dark room with a dark grey image (was looking for signs of early burn in, as I have seen some people having issues with that), but I have a hard time seeing it even in the same dark room scrolling through websites with dark mode enabled.
Me too, I get you. Especially for a premium device, I do nitpick. But with OLED I guess it's more that unless it's horribly obvious in normal conditions (like a general yellow tint, dead pixels), you can't do much. It's never going to be perfect. A dead pixel I wouldn't take and thankfully I've never had one, but I much prefer having a screen that's got a slight green tint on gray backgrounds when I look at it at night and focus on that specifically but that has perfect blacks, is energy-efficient and has no issues with blooming, goes as dim and as bright as I'd ever need it to, and is super color-accurate. Hardware will always be a lottery, what they can do is have stronger QC as some of the issues we've been seeing with the 15 series just looks like neglect in that department if anything.
I feel like a lot of this forum genuinely has undiagnosed OCD hahaha. Funny enough I actually do, so that doesn’t help 😅
This is basically what mine looks like too. Lightness spot is even in the same place, which leads me to believe this is probably expected behavior on these large OLED panels. Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself so I don’t make myself crazy lol so thank you for sharing!
All the 15 Pro's I bought and returned had this so I concluded it's pretty much standard for the current set of phones.
Dannnnng, I just sat and checked my phone in the weather app and couldn't see anything like this. That's gotta be some insane luck if its really 3 in a row!
Might be dust too but yeah…it’s still under the glass 🤣 omw to the Apple store rn 💀 I think Apple doesn’t want me to upgrade from my 7 plus 😅
Damn 🥲 well at least you have an Apple Store close by. For me it would be a 200km round trip every time or shipping it back and waiting for a replacement..
I returned it…unfortunately they didn’t have a replacement device…welp
That is so rare to get stuck with 3 phones that all have dead pixels / dust. Happened to me before, I 100% get it. Sorry man, really stinks.
first one was a preorder and directly delivered to my house, second one was a pick up and last one was another pick up but from another store. Battery date : july, august, august so i think it might be 3 different batch...idk...I guess im just hella unlucky lol
