Hey y’all,
I definitely noticed some differences in color between my Xs Max and the 11 Pro Max in the Apple Store with True Tone off but I had to share some of these findings.
“The iPhone 11 Pro Max has a Record calibrated Full White Screen Brightness of 770 nits for the sRGB/Rec.709 and DCI-P3 Color Gamuts. But for typical applications with a typical Average Picture Level of 50% the measured Screen Brightness is 820 nits, which is roughly double of most high-end Smartphones, and also exceeds Apple’s Brightness spec. For Low Average Picture Levels, such as in the Dark Mode display setting, the Screen Brightness climbs to a very impressive 905 nits. On its Home Screen the iPhone 11 Pro Max produces an impressively bright 902 nits (which varies with the Wallpaper selected). See the Screen Brightness section for the measurements and details.”
“In order to provide Mobile HDR, the iPhone 11 Pro Max has the required Digital Cinema DCI-P3 Wide Color Gamut, High Peak Luminance, plus perfect Blacks and an Infinite Contrast Ratio from its OLED display. Using an HDR video we measured an HDR Peak Brightness of 1,290 nits for standard HDR 20% APL, also 1,205 nits for 50% APL, and 1,090 nits for a Full Screen White with 100% APL, all of which are all very impressive, and exceed Apple’s HDR spec
“For iOS 13 Apple has introduced a new Dark Mode display setting that inverts the typical White Background with Black Text to a Black Background with White Text. This significantly reduces the overall Brightness of the entire display for most applications, and should reduce eye strain when viewing the display in low to dark ambient light. An additional bonus is that switching to a Black Background will in most cases significantly reduce the battery power used by the OLED display. For example, for the Calendar application, at the Maximum Brightness setting, switching to the Dark Mode from the Light Mode reduces the Display Power from 4.2 watts down to 0.2 watts, which will significantly increase the Running Time on Battery.”

I can’t imagine how much the panel draws with an all white background in HDR at 1,090 nits! 😱 Job well done Apple and Samsung Display!
