iPhone 14 & 14 Pro PWM Megathread
[deleted]
14 pro was not OK in the end, but it was better than the 14 and previous models for me. With the 14 pro the headache creeps in after about 10 mins, which I think is pretty long for sensitive eyes of mine, but ofc it is not good enough for normal use.
Guess I’ll continue to wait then.
[deleted] did you try 10 mate pro. It is a near perfect device for me although it is 4 y old. Just saying.
markdotpeters5 mi 11 and mi 11 ultra have same display E4 Samsumg
Vaggbaba then it must be configured differently somehow because the PWM is not the same on those two devices.
I can use the Mi11 all day without any problems, couldn't last an hour with the 11 Ultra
markdotpeters5 how did make that?

markdotpeters5 Can you tell me if the settings were the same? Such as anti-flickering, resolution, refresh rate? I found that anti- flickering is cause me more fatigue.
markdotpeters5 how did measure pwm iPhone 14?
Vaggbaba yes, the same.
Vaggbaba I used an Opple Light master which measures flicker rates and other display characteristics.

It's Xiomi Mi11? It's relatively new phone, right? Release February 8, 2021.
Would you recommend it?
gety9 it’s still great, I would definitely recommend it. Pretty much the only OLED phone I can use now.
Thanks to everyone who has replied. Ive found the 14 to be unusable even in the store. its annoying Apple isn't letting 100% brightness be DC dimming with the newer phones.
I came across this site today. My iPhone 11 is failing, so I was browsing the web.
I went to Verizon today, took a slow mo of each iPhone 14 (10 seconds each). So roughly 30-60 seconds looking at the 3 of them. I could barely walk out of the store and drive home. My eyes felt full of pressure, my face got hot, I was nauseous, headache.

imthescott welcome to the club
So I am thinking about buying an iPhone 14 and replacing the screen with an LCD from Mobile Sentrix.
Has anyone done something similar? Did it help?
I just got off the phone with Apple, had a lengthy chat with them discussing all of this, the effects, the community etc.
They want "us" to go to https://www.apple.com/feedback/ and list out all of the facts, stats, and reasoning for an LCD variant of their phones moving forward. Even possibly the 14 if the push is overwhelming.
I think it would be best if we had someone make up a template that we could all send ourselves listing the requested information, but just change our name on each one.
It would also be good to get this out to every forum/subreddit that this community hangs out in.
Can we make this happen?
I am one of the affected users , i had iphone X for a year when it was launched , had headaches and migraines for few months didn’t realize it was oled pwm, now i have permanent migraine and dizziness, i am on iPhone 11 , did try iPhone 14 pro and same problem, i am really worried for future since it will be all OLED and iPhone 11 won’t last long , i hope apple fixes this
