Lol! Ummmm...who do you think manufactures OLED screens for Apple?Every iPhone X screen that I've seen looks dingy and dirty! Apple has a long way to go before they even get close to the mastery of OLED like Samsung.

Uh, I guess I should point that the iPhone X with OLED was the most accurate display for colour that DisplayMate had ever measured when they tested it.I'm in that club also.
Can't stand the oversaturated, unnatural colors from AMOLED/OLED.
Make it bright and accurate and I really don't care about the technology behind it.
While it's exceptional for TVs, OLED can have image retention and smartphone OSes tend to have very static UIs and app icons.

Image retention has not been a problem on my current phone or even my previous S6 Edge Plus I owned for 2.5 years.
OLED on small devices is nothing but joy and makes the blacks on my iPad Pro look washed out.
You can choose colour profile on many phone e.g natural, saturated or boosted.
I can't stand the PenTile subpixel matrix... Galaxy S9 is OK for me at 570ppi, but iPhone X really **** the bed. I can see that white isn't white, it just doesn't look right. I guess I won't like this matrix arrangement either.
Seems like I'll be sticking with the iPhone 8 and will skip buying the next one until they implement MircoLED. For the first time since the iPhone 3GS.
The camera on the iPhone x is already subpar , I don't care about the second camera, but they need to increase their sensor size and also have a great hdr mode like Google does !I really would be fine with a LCD screen, but don't want a substandard camera which is exactly why Apple will reserve that for the flagship model(s).
Likely the 2017 X would get discontinued although some stores and carriers would still have stock for a short period.After historically sticking to the top flagship iPhones, it seems I may have a wider choice then normal when I come to upgrade later in the year.
The 2018 Model X if Apple reduce the price point, the 2017 Model X at a discounted rate, or the phone on this thread or the full screen SE2 (if that becomes a reality).

Am I getting this right: You prefer LCD screens on phones because you think that retention will be issue on the OLED screens Apple is using in the iPhone X at some point in the future? And because most OLEDs are not as bright as most LCDs (disregarding that the LCDs in the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have the same brightness as the OLED in the iPhone X)?I've never understood OLED making sense for small displays like those found in smartphones. While it's exceptional for TVs, OLED can have image retention and smartphone OSes tend to have very static UIs and app icons. OLED is also less bright than LED-LCD (at the moment), and you want as much brightness as you can get for things like phones and tablets which people use outside in broad daylight.
OLED used to have the color gamut advantage, but with quantum dots and other workarounds, LCD can now output the same size gamut (DCI-P3). About the only thing which OLED trumps LCD is black levels, which for a phone isn't really a big deal IMO.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm not hating on OLED. I love OLED, and I own an LG C7 TV which is absolutely amazing. OLED is an incredible technology. It's just not suited for certain devices and use cases IMO. For phones at this current time, I'd rather have a non-OLED screen.
Corrected this for you.I'm in that club also.
Can't stand the oversaturated, unnatural colors from (all the) AMOLED/OLED (before the release of the iPhone X).
I am 6 months into an iPhone X, and there is definitely no burn in yet. Apple clearly said that they reduced burn-in compared to previous OLED phone screens. I think to remember tests that tried really hard to produce burn in and the iPhone X was maybe 2x better than other OLED phones (meaning the same burn-in took twice as long to appear). We'll know more as time progresses but there definitely aren't many (if any at all) of iPhone X burn-in reports yet.I am 10 months into a Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) & definetely have a burn in on the status bar at top.
I probably can list you a dozen features of iPhones that people use less than 3D Touch. Does this mean Apple should can all those features too?They've already given 3D Touch several years, and it's still an abysmal failure. It's time for Apple to give up on 3D Touch already.
Maybe yes for some of them (excluding accessibility options). Feel free to list.I probably can list you a dozen features of iPhones that people use less than 3D Touch. Does this mean Apple should can all those features too?
Probably yes for at least some them. Feel free to list.
I think what was meant was when you display something with a black background, not when the screen is switched off. The problem of LCDs is the backlight bleeding through (the pixels and often the edge). With the phone off, there naturally is no backlight.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.
What were the chances of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus getting the same chip generation as the iPhone X? Compared to the iPhone X, they both are 'budget' phones.Apple pretty much ALWAYS puts an older chip in their budget devices, which of course is understandable. It seems however a lot of people don’t expect this for some odd reason.
I’d expect an A11 chip in this device, but wouldn’t be too surprised if it gets and A10 like the “new” iPad.
The chances of it getting an A12 like the pricey X models is pretty much zero, as few would pay much more just to get an OLED screen.
1. What does that do? It does nothing for me. It is software only though anyway.
- Triple click on the home button (side button on iPhone X)
- Triple click on headphone remote to skip backwards
- Emergency SOS
- Connecting an iOS device to Ethernet via a Lightning to USB and USB to Ethernet adaptor
- Time-lapse movies
- Portrait lighting
- Shake to undo
- Screen recording
- Raise to listen
- Animoji
- Game Center
- Siri
You can argue that 3D Touch is a waste of hardware space (and cost). But you can also argue that using it adds to software complexity of the UI. My examples mostly also add UI complexity (ie, you might accidentally trigger them while trying to do something else or vice versa).1. What does that do? It does nothing for me.

A lot of the features rely on hardware but the hardware is there already for other reasons anyway so those features effectively only require additional software. In contrast, 3D Touch needs hardware that is specifically a requirement for it.
Yes, which is why I shut off 3D Touch. In contrast, it’s difficult to accidentally turn on screen recording or make a time lapse movie.You can argue that 3D Touch is a waste of hardware space (and cost).

The random list of items is not how everybody views things. I love time lapse movies. Dont use ANY digital assistants. Use shake to undo when typing long posts responding to MR. And you can pry 3dt out of my cold dead hands. (Lord forbid)You can argue that 3D Touch is a waste of hardware space (and cost).

P.S.: 3D Touch relies on two related components: 1) pressure sensors and 2) haptic feedback engine. If I had to guess, I'd say the haptic feedback engine adds more volume to the phone. And haptic feedback is used in areas beyond 3D Touch and doesn't require explicit usage or knowledge.
Which pretty much makes my point. There are a number of iPhone features that only a small minority might use, but that minority might really like them and most importantly different people will like different features. Thus even if every feature from such a list is only used by a small minority, removing every feature only used by less than x% can actually easily affect a majority of users, each of which of which might use only a few of those features (regularly).The random list of items is not how everybody views things.

No it doesn’t make your point because you don’t know, out of the hundreds of millions of devices, what percentage use what features of iOS. You can’t deduce it from forum posts. And what you believe is a minority may be a majority.Which pretty much makes my point.

I am running with somebody else's argument that it is a minority. I am pointing out that even if it is only used by a minority, this is not necessarily a reason to remove a feature. You are right, I don't know whether a feature is used by a minority or a majority (though I can compare the number of people explicitly saying whether they use a given feature or not as a rough indicator). When somebody claims a feature is used only by a minority, instead of arguing a point that cannot be proven (whether it is a minority or not), I make a point that even if only a minority used, that is far from enough a reason to remove a feature.No it doesn’t make your point because you don’t know, out of the hundreds of millions of devices, what percentage use what features of iOS.

I guess what I’m saying is how can you or anyone else know if a software/hardware feature/function is used by a “minority”.I am running with somebody else's argument that it is a minority.
