The real winner is microLED (can display as black as OLED and no burn in issue)SOunds like a winning technology. I really don’t like the OLED displays.
So excited about this.

I am happy with my OLED, but not sure I would really notice the difference in day to day usage. If the feature set is the same, I'd certainly consider this model. My gut tells me it won't be though.
so they convince a bunch of people that the iphone X was the future of smartphones by changing the form, the screen, the authentication system, removing the headphone jack, and charging a premium
and then a year later they remove useless features, change the screen to something even better, and charge $200 less for a better performing phone
It isn’t as good as OLED.whats so much better than oled seems this is better so why not do the flagship with this?
I think so. How can they blend bezal with screen since LCD can’t have true black.

This is enhanced LCD, that’s mean you can’t have true black like OLED and you still need backlight so it’ll thicker than OLED panel.
Erm:I'm interested to see how they handle this because my understanding is that the chin was eliminated by bending the OLED screen back on itself. I don't believe LCD's are capable of this.
I think we already can’t tell the difference between OLED and LCD when screen is off,what I tried to say is when you display black near bezel you can tell that LCD display isn’t as black as bezel but OLED actually is.I'll have to check the next time my girlfriend is over but I'm fairly certain when here Essential is off, you can't tell where the screen ends and the camera notch begins.

Not sure how many of us there are but you are not alone. I have always disliked the super bright cartoonish looking colors of co-workers Samsungs and Motorolas.Could not give a damn about OLED so I am fine with thatI am probably one of the few who do not like those „tint..ish oilfilm“ looking OLED screens at all
Sounds like a great upgrade from my 6+ as long as it has the A12 chip.

I can't tell a difference on any screen after Retina came out. My best friend is obsessed with screens and quality, but honestly I just don't get it. I'm a healthy 30 year old guy with perfect vision so it's not like I can't tell a difference medically. I think it's just a ploy to charge more for supposedly superior screens (I know they are technically superior but if I can't tell a difference, that's really all that matters).
Not true. There's a big difference between long pressing an icon on the home screen to make them wiggle and using 3D touch to access the app's shortcuts and widget. Long press and 3D touch are not the same gesture and produce different results.3D Touch is useless. I turned it off on my iPhone 7. A long press and hold gets the job done and works 100% of the time.
LCD is so bad compared to OLED it looks like the content is buried deep inside the phone while OLED is much more vibrant and sticking out. I don't understand this choice since Apple can color calibrate their OLED to look exactly the same as their LCD.

I don't know if I'd call it enhanced, if Sheza's post about replacing one of the pixels to include a white pixel is true. If that's the case, I'd call if modified LCD or a variant of LCD.
The single camera on my iPhone 8 does indeed bother me, knowing that Apple sells a better camera. I should have got the X.I would not want to go back to a single lens rear camera, though. Have used the 2X camera on my X more than I expected.
I'm really surprised by the indifference/negativity to OLED in this thread. I would easily continue to pay an extra $200 to get OLED on a phone, at least until microLED or another tech with perfect blacks comes along. My iPhone 7 had a great screen and rich color gamut, but when I upgraded to the X I knew I'd never go back to regular LCD. In fact it's so good I actually prefer watching HDR movies on the iPhone X to my HDR TV (w/ LED local dimming). I've never had a single issue with burn-in or anything else. It's quite simply the most beautiful screen I've ever owned.
All that said, I'm glad Apple is making the other features like FaceID available at a lower price.
Yeah the screens look the same because Apple color calibrated them the same way but what I meant is about the way the content sticks in.I have to disagree. I've had HTC phones with amazing quality LCD screens and even as recently as last week, I was able to compare a 7 Plus to my X, and the 7 Plus looked just as good as the X.
