This headline acts as if iPhones do not already use Samsung panels.
Why not QD OLED like on their TVs? Any particular reason for that?
Yeah I mean Pixel 8 Pro had the Samsung E7 display which was brighter and more efficient.
The problem with efficiency is that it doesn’t always translate to massive power savings. Most component manufacturers and phone makers translate those power savings into brighter screens. So if you ran the Pixel 8 Pro at a max of 1000-1100 nits like the iPhone, it would be incredibly efficient. The problem is they put those savings into pushing the display to 1500 nits. At those max power settings you end up consuming roughly just as much power as before.
I do think this past 2 years of displays was some sort of megapixel/nits war. The Pixel 7 Pro used the same old E4 OLED and pushed higher brightness at a huge expense of power consumption. The iPhone has been going year by year increases in brightness (thankfully Apple usually uses the latest display tech). The Pixel 8 Pro was really a star and its 2000 nits peak brightness is insane in outdoor conditions. OnePlus is out their touting their foldable with 2800 nits and promises more with the next gen of BOE display tech.
Like at some point does it really matter how much more we get? A solid 1200 nits display that sips 2W power is probably far more beneficial than a 2500 nits 10W monster.
I just want 120hz (or 90hz) on base models. That’s it.
Really hope that high frequency display rumor was true.
If they do that there’s no reason to buy the pro anymore
That’s good for consumers. It forces Apple to find other features to add to make the Pro worth the purchase.
Won’t ever happen because it would cannibalize into the pro models
Not if the Pros have a 240hz display.
New features always roll downhill when the next new big thing hits the pro stuff. Happens in all of their product categories.
I think they’d do it once they have something else to upsell the Pro displays on, like microLED
I just want 240hz on the pro. 120 is great but could be smoother.
120 Hz is plenty smooth, the software needs to catch up I’d say. iOS hasn’t been performing as well as one would expect with the quality of hardware we’ve had in recent years.
Just hoping it won’t make it worse for people with PWM sensitivity.
The main reason I didn’t move to the iPhone 15 Pro is the terrible PWM of the display. It’s literally giving me headache after watching it for 5 minutes in the store. I hope the 16’s display will be much better in that regard.
I thought they said there won’t be any major hardware improvements
Know what would save power? A nice 5.4” display.
Me who recently bought iPhone 15 pro max : Okay 👍 😊
I came from the 11 normal to 15 Pro Max, such an upgrade, I couldn’t care less what the 16 is I’m happy with what I got
I got there from regular 12 so I understand but these rumours just hurt sometimes 😂
I’ll have to wait for the iPhone 20 for my next upgrade
Just like the schedule for OLED display on handheld gaming: PS Vita 2011 Switch OLED 2021
iPhone XX you mean. 19 will be skipped like the 9
Iphone next, will have make shit up inside.
Tim: “Our best iPhone ever”
Technically they’re not lying.
Every year lol
But it’s true!
„Good Morning 👱🏻♂️🍏“
And we think you’re going to love it!
Imagine Tim made an iPhone “it’s marginally worse than last years model, but that’s okay, we think you’ll sort of like it”
If they make it cheaper, I say go for it
I’ll upgrade when the PWM of the display doesn’t fry my eyeballs 😵💫
Is that a confusing way to say refresh rate? Or are you talking a about brightness, that‘s probably controlled with a pwm signal?
If it‘s the latter I‘m sorry to tell you apple won‘t release dimmer phones in the future. But you can always dim the brightness to levels that do not ‚fry your eyes‘.
/r/PWM_Sensitive
What?
I’ll upgrade when they add promotion to base models
by that time the base would cost 999 bucks anyways
Whatever come to iPhone display I hope it was worth it
