Other Eye-strain while using iPhone X and up

You live in America. Go buy the Motorola Stylus 2025 and enjoy AMOLED without any eye issues. (2026 Stylus and 2026 Edge 2026 should also work).

The issue here is the OS. I have never used Android. Of course, I am now an unhappy Windows user after being a Mac user from 2010-2022 just so I could resolve the dithering issue. So I may be forced to do the same with phone, but unlike Windows which I have used for work all along, I have zero experience with Android.

Switching to Android also means I will have to toss my HomePod, learn to use Android Auto in the car (I use CarPlay exclusively foregoing the car's OS), cancel my Apple Music & iCloud subscriptions, and figure out what to do for music in terms of a speaker and streaming service. That's a lot. 🙁

Rushed to my local Costco because they hadn’t updated the in-store price of the iPad 11 to match Apple’s crazy price hikes. I’ve been using it for a day now with no issues at all - just turned on Reduce Motion and kept the brightness at 50% or lower.

I’m more than happy with the £299 price and honestly feel stupid for not buying one sooner. The FOMO will be a lot weaker once the iPad 12 launches later this year due to the new prices.

Fingers crossed no eye strain ahead.

I’ve been following this thread since the iPhone X because I couldn’t use it due to PWM sensitivity. Two days ago, I got a base-model iPhone 17, and honestly, it wasn’t that bad. I do experience some eye strain, but it’s tolerable.


For the past eight years, I’ve been using the iPhone XR and iPhone 11. They are incredibly solid phones and have served me well.


In case anyone is interested, my iPhone 17 has an LG display, and it seems to be more eye-friendly than the Samsung display.
