Well, the 16 Pro is being resold.

I posted a while back about how the 16 Pro, out of all the iOS devices I tried, ended up being the most comfortable to use for me. All was ok until about a week past my return policy. That final day was last Saturday.

The bags under my eyes are back, swollen and puffy.

I went back to my base 13 this morning and felt instant relief. I didn’t realize just how badly the 16 Pro was affecting me. My vision was slightly blurry, I had trouble focusing on things, and I’d mostly gotten used to it until I picked up my 13 again.

I can now cross off the 14 Pro and Pro Max, the 15 Plus and every version of the 16 sans the 16e.

The 13 has a PWM rate of 610hz. None of the other iPhones have that, except for the 14 and the 14 Pro, and the Pro was supposed to be 880hz. It started to affect me after a while as well.

I guess at this point I’m just gonna replace the battery in my 13 and call it a day, and eat the cost on a phone I can’t use.

The new panel used in the 16 pro are also being used in the entire 17 series. Apple displays are only getting worse for many of us. It’s not just the display. Their GPU algorithms are terrible for sensitive people.

The 16 base model uses a previous gen panel.

So I'm currently using the 13 Pro "fairly" comfortably. Is it as easy on my eyes as the 8 Plus was? No, but it's much newer. I was contemplating jumping up to a 15 Pro - which my wife has - but after reading some of this I've decided I need to spend some time surfing the web on her phone to see how I'd do.
