K-Moss Are you convinced 10 bit without dithering does not cause eye strain? Because I suspect the billions of colors will in itself cause eye strain issues for many. Apple could make a product line that isn't intended to be a kiddie toy for the masses and instead focuses on serious productivity for demanding professionals. For those people, myself included, we aren't in any way benefited by billions of colors using OLED technology requiring a significant brightness dip every time the screen refreshes. Every single OLED phone screen is at best plagued by the same issue.
It’s really hard to tell. I’m not a fan of P3 colors either but I suppose my opinion on the matter is whatever screen utilizes less flicker-based methods to render color is going to give someone a better shot of not dealing with symptoms. I think what is likely the most beneficial with OLED iPhone screens is the very fast response time. It’s probably why I have my iPhone 13 on stock settings and utilize True Tone and Night Shift with no problems, yet I really dislike True Tone on the MacBook Pro LCD screens because of how slow the response time is. I think the insane brightness of the new iPhone (3000 nits peak with HDR content) is probably going to be the biggest roadblock for me personally even with the alleged PWM-free mode.
The Pro machines used to be those productivity machines you mentioned…but they haven’t been since the Steve Jobs era. They’re more pro-sumer products nowadays.
Regarding EMF. Yeah, I had a visit with a top neuro ophthalmologist recently who brought up EMF sensitivity to me (I didn’t broach the subject as I haven’t researched it) based on my symptoms. So this is apparently a real thing in the upper echelons of established modern medicine within this speciality that affects a very small subset of people. Fun, right? But honestly I don’t even know how to begin to untangle that web. PWM and dithering are the low-hanging fruit and you can’t really deal with anything else until you deal with flicker, IMO.
