Another point i think its worth to share, is that “healthy” screens will make workers more productive, so we should have companies also fighting for this screens to be available.
For example good eink screens could improve productivity a lot for workers who don't need color screens.
Just imagine apple working to improve eink screens, how good they would be now.
JTL If there's one thing I've learned after 10 years with a chronic illness, it's that there's no money in cures. There is no money in effective cures for Crohn's disease. As a result, there are 15+ extremely expensive, immunosuppressing drugs I can take, and more researched and marketed every year. The disease was first described in 1932, but there is still very little research into the actual cause of Crohn's disease. This will never change. There is no money in cures. There is no money in improving people's lives, because happy people take care of themselves and don't buy all kinds of products and services trying to feel better. Complaining that taking action is a mistake because there is a lack of research is fine, but you will be saying the same thing in 10 years, and probably 20 years, unless we push for change. However, if we get enough press, if we initiate change of some sort, make it clear that there are more and more of us, the money will be found. If you prefer not to sign, please by all means do not sign. But I, and apparently many others with me, am going to try and raise awareness. Once we do so, the money to do the research will be a mere afterthought.
lougro I had completely slipped on this thread. I would be handy if it were pinned to the top of the list. Signed now.
Many thanks for your initiative. I totally agree with you. We need to start from somewhere. And yes, @eyestrainsolutions, I could definitely live with an e-ink screen but OS-induced dithering worries me.
lougro I'm not here to argue if there is money in conducting research or not, more so laying out a plan on how one would get closer to conducting research for "this issue" assuming they could obtain the proper laboratory equipment rather than the usual "throwing of the darts" we're all used to.
As for "no money in cures", I can't comment on Chron's disease specifically but for a counter example a certain US president got cancer within the past 10 years and was an early trial participant in immunotherapy drugs that ended up resolving his cancer. Also there is early research that certain drug targets are conductive in repairing damage caused by multiple sclerosis in clinical trials. So it's not black and white as that.
JTL a certain US president got cancer within the past 10 years and was an early trial participant in immunotherapy drugs that ended up resolving his cancer
So all we need to hope for is that a future or former US president has or gets our issues 
It was meant in jest really and as a partial retort to other comments
It seems we stopped on this one. The petition got 700+ as of today, that is surprisingly low in number. Let’s share it to more people.
At the same time, can we reach the influencers and make them aware of this issue? Now I see more and more reviewers measuring PWM of devices, that is a good sign for movement like this to move forward.
Signed
Bumping this back up. Signatures are slowly piling up and can't hurt to sign!
I feel like this only makes a different if we get above 10k signatures and even then… so please share. Long road ahead!
Yes and no.
Firstly the yes - I also believe that in order for Apple to entertain a look at this, a six-figure sum of signatures is required.
Then the no - You have to start somewhere. If this petition (or another similar one) reaches 10,000 signatures then I would be a lot more motivated to share with my friends, family etc. We would have 10,000 people who can share to 2-3 of their closest friends etc.
So in conclusion, we need to start somewhere, and the time to reach 100,000 when you already have 10,000 signature might actually be faster than the journey from 0 to 10,000 signatures.
