iPhone 11 Pro Max Outperforms Competing Smartphones to Earn DisplayMate's Highest Ever A+ Grade

No it's not .its samsungs amoled screen and 100% made and designed by them. Apple just got there latest screen tech before there phone did because of the launch timing.

Just wait until the gs11 comes out and it will win back the throne and then the note 11 to take the next throne etc.

Samsung spent 15 years designing these and u think out the blue apple designed it over night? Where are all the lawsuits against samsung for stealing there designs with there OLED screens?

Show me some patents to there oled screen that they designed and had samsung manufacture it.

I'll be waiting

Oh boy. I mean, I get it, iPhone already beats Samsung in performance and app ecosystem, now in cameras and screen too? Ouch.

Anyway, I don’t need to show you patents. I don’t need to prove anything - it is you who is claiming Apple is lying when they say they designed the screen (they even say they applied the tech they used in their XDR pro display). So it is you who needs to provide proof they are lying, not the other way around.

What needs no proof is the fact that display is controlled by a display driver chip, by software, by custom controllers, etc. These were definitely designed by Apple and they allow the panel to get super-bright. Panels are just one part of the story.

With Pro XDR display, Apple managed to make a screen that has sustained 1200 nits on 100% area. That is almost unheard of. No other monitor or TV does that, even though the panel is probably made by LG. Does LG have 1200 nit @ 100% area indefinitely sustained monitors? Nope.

Same with this screen.

I’m sure Samsung will come up with a great screen in their next phone that will probably take the crown. But that won’t change the fact that this is an Apple display. And yup, they didn’t need 15 years to do it. They got it in 3 generations.

I am an iPhone fan but I compared scores between 11 Pro Max and Note 10 plus . Note 10 plus has better scores for most categories and set some other records that iPhone 11 Pro Max cannot be compared with like highest image contrast accuracy and smallest shift in image contrast accuracy and so on

So I think Note 10 plus display is better per displaymate article.

Apple has numerous OLED patents.

Interesting so for Apple there are aprox 2000 results vs Samsung's 62000 results. That's 3000% more in Samsung's favour.
And there were some users on this thread claiming that Samsung is just a manufacturer, they only provide a factory or something like that.

Interesting that so many here claim Apple’s contribution to the quality of their OLED displays is limited to submitting a spec sheet and purchase order to Samsung.

Honestly that's not an unlikely scenario.
In the end objectively speaking all we have is Apple's marketing where they state that they "designed" the screen, but they never actually gave any detail about what does that mean exactly.
 
i dont care the screen when there is a fuggly notch around. it could even give me a better life, but still the notch will ruin that too. looks like a batman phone and a cheap design. (and i still dont get that line on bottom either - who wants that?)
 
In April the same company - Display mates gave OnePlus 7 Pro there "highest ever rating of A+" (https://www.androidcentral.com/oneplus-7-pro-receives-displaymates-highest-ever-rating) sound familiar? And the OnePlus Phone has no notch, a popup front camera that automatically receeds when the phone is dropped, face ID an in screen fingerprint sensor and starts at only $669 USD. Apple's iPhones are woefully overpriced and behind the curve. It is pathetic and laughable. That is why I stopped buying them a few years back. SMH
 
My Note 10+ looks super dim compared to the 11 Pro Max at the Apple Store. I was shocked! I tried every setting to get the brightness up to match the iPhone but couldn’t.

Was very embarrassed cause I was telling my friends with me the Note would be brighter but it looks dull and dim next to the iPhone.

The One+ also doesn't have face id (like the iphone) and the pop-up flash is worse than the notch. The iphone will get guaranteed five years of updates, etc. All in all I would rather have a iphone. "Woefully overpriced and behind the curve" is a personal, subjective judgement call. YMMV.

Well, it’s obviously better when it comes to brightness. I figured they’d be close, but the Note looks terrible compared to the iPhone.

That's quite an amateurish and misleading video. He was mainly talking about manual brightess and the difference in this case is that Note 10 is not optimised to get super bright when it doesn't need to. Like most other Samsung phones the best is just to leave auto brightness on and use it like that. The phone will automatically get as bright as it needs to when it needs to.
Also with the iPhone, even if manual brightess in full white screen is higher than the Note's, as you use the phone and it gets hotter it will dim down the display anyway. From what I've read the 11 Pro Max dims down the display faster than the Xs Max.

Well yea, I am sure most people with a either phone just use auto brightness, but it is good to see much better brightness in the iPhone than the Note. That was one of the improvements Apple mentioned.
 
It's not brighter in direct sun light which is the scenario where you actually need your screen to be super bright.
In a dim room or indors in general there's no purpose for such high brightess, it will only hurt your eyes.
Also again with the iPhone, as it's internal temp builds up, brightness will automatically ramp down and there will be no way to bring it back up until the phone cools down.

Except it isn't brighter, they both have similar peak brightness levels of around 1200 nits. Samsung only applies full brightness when needed on hdr videos or under direct sunlight.

What is impressive about the new iPhone is they finally put a decent size battery in them and that camera system is awesome. Overall the new iPhone has me wishing I could stand iOS because Apple nailed it in the hardware. I'm the first to say well done to Apple.

Strange, I don't know. Looks brighter and from what I have read, it gets brighter. Yea I am actually surprised a bit coming from an XS Max to the 11 Pro, how good the new hardware and software is. Everything feels so much faster and smoother, and the camera and battery is great.

And the note doesn’t do this? It just lets the battery temperature build up destroying the battery chemistry?

Maybe subjective on your part my friend, since you haven't owned both, thus the uninformed statement about the popup camera being worse than the notch. But you missed the part where I said I stopped buying iPhones. I exclusively owned iPhones until Apple just started raising the prices without any innovation (we miss you Steve), I had to switch to an Android phone for new innovation and wound up with the OnePlus 7 Pro. Once I switched I realized just how bad Apple had slid with the iPhone. It reminded me of when I switch from Windows to a Mac OS for the first time many years ago and realized just how bad the Windows OS was in comparison at the time.

Well my friend, I’d say there is some confusion with a statement of fact vs opinion. A statement of fact is the one+ has a pop up flash. The opinion, it’s worse than the notch.

Glad you found the platform that suits you.

The number of sacrifices you make for "new innovation" on a OnePlus Android phone isn't worth the "innovation".

iOS is, at worst, on parity with Android, but in most cases, including the Android running on the OnePlus, iOS runs circles around Android.

It does not. Remember, its display does not get that bright in a first place :) Samsung does what's reasonable. Apple decided to go brighter for a marketing win but it's just a misleading gimmick.

So pick your poison. Can’t see the screen or screen auto dims? I’ll take auto dims, ymmv.
