These are the most power efficient screens we've ever released, and we think you're going to love it.

So Samsung developing new oled panel specifically for Apple while we are led to believe that Apples microLED is just around the corner…
Sure, Samsung will take Apples money but if there is any truth to this, microLED is 5+ years away from iPhone…
 
Hopefully this technology appears in the iPhone 16 and it’s not put off till iPhone 17
Battery life definitely needs improvement

I don’t think anyone is led to believe that, given that the current predictions for micro-LED on the Watch Ultra are for late 2025 or 2026 at the earliest, and probably at least two more years for the iPhone.

Only the 10+ articles in the past year that move the goal out further and further … and yes, I made the number up, but it continues to move out…

Yeah, but it was never “just around the corner”. It was always “at least n years away”.
 
My upgrade year, I am so looking forward to it. The iPhone X is starting to show signs of age, camera app is glitchy, apps like MS Teams take forever to open and authenticate. Lets not even go there regarding the battery life. I can't wait to upgrade, its gonna feel like I am on a completely different planet.

I just hope the new iPhone displays do not use PWM or have TLM (temporal light modulation). Many of us cannot use the OLED iPhones because the screens cause severe eye-strain and make us feel sick. I seriously hope they fix that instead of worrying about saving a few more mAh of battery.

Here is concrete evidence of this issue: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/eye-strain-while-using-iphone-x-and-up.2085427/post-32709834

I’m in this camp.
I will not update any phones or tablets or computer screens until it’s all Mini LED or something that doesn’t cause headaches and blurry vision.
