iPhone 6 Plus Display Judged 'Best Smartphone LCD Ever Tested', iPhone 6 Also Solid

[MentalFloss]

It implys quite simply, Apple's PR structure requires their consumers remain in a state of selective intelligence. If they were to become too aware and fully understand the technology, the terminology or applications within, facts would be demanded and positive spin would become much more unlikely.

I don't know. I fully understand the technology. Probably more than 99.9% of the most common customers, because I actually work in the mobile business. No, not as a mobile phone salesman, but in baseband development. Understanding the internals of a mobile phone is a prerequisite for my job, and I have been doing it for over 15 years now.

I still don't see what I am supposed to question or where Apple is tricking me into anything. In fact, I sometimes feel that I understand much better why some Apple product feature is "magical" (sorry!) than laymen do. I have found myself explaining to my wife many times why a certain feature is actually special.

This is not to suggest there aren't incredibly well versed Apple fans, and incredibly ignorant Android fans.

Actually, this is exactly what you suggested with your statement above, where you stated that selective intelligence is a requirement.

I don't think you understood my statement, I wasn't asking about the tech specific info about 2k/4k (by the way.. true 2k isn't iPhone 6 plus's 1080p… the usual 1080p people talk about is HDTV 1080p , not native 2k…). My statement was about what people is gonna say when Apple puts 1080p on their iPhone 7, cuz currently the "fans" are saying what apple did is correct, they don't need 1080p on smaller 4.7… but what are they gonna say when they get 1080p on 4.7 model? lol get it? these fanboys doesn't care about the "contents" you are talking about… I was just making a sarcastic statement about these fanboys just liking and agreeing to everything apple does XD

No no... I got it man. I was trying to answer the question you asked about "what will people say when such and such happens." Specifically, what happens if 4k comes to an iPhone. My response is solely that, hopefully when it happens there will actually be stuff to use on a 4k display... apps that would utilize it, content made for it (movies, for example)... as opposed to just being thrown on the thing to check a box.

Narrowing it down to 1080p on the 4.7, I get it. A 1080p screen would be nice. It still will be if it comes in the future. But, like televisions... my Sony 720p tv is leaps and bounds better than someone's Vizio 1080p tv. So, again, I hope they don't do it just to check a box. Quality matters.

OLED screens are great if you like blown out cartoon colors and don't need to use the phone outside

Wrong and wrong again. Same old crap being peddled out by know nothing types. 101% sRGB accuracy - Displaymate. I hate to keep repeating myself but one last time for you. Galaxy Note 4 is objectively and subjectively the BEST DISPLAY ON THE PLANET.

1080 is 2K resolution.

Interesting discussion in the thread.

Yeah it's 2 million pixels roughly but it's still 1080p. Somehow 1440p got the term 2k for some odd reason.

 

[BuffaloTF]

your definition of lines of resolution is flawed. nobody is going by the measurement you're stating. except for you.

that being said, higher resolution doesn't necessarily mean its better. you can have a high resolution display but if the brightness is bad, unnatural colors, with bad uniformity its not worth it.

To try and bridge the gap here... They're changing the way they market these things as they go. So, really... nobody has been wrong.

640x480 -- SDTV, later shown as 480i, counting the vertical
1280x720 -- marketed as 720p, counting the vertical
1920x1080 -- marketed as 1080i or 1080p, counting the vertical

Then we now get:

3840x2160 -- marketed as 4k, counting the horizontal suddenly.
7680x4320 -- this is what 8k will be, counting the horizontal as well.

So if we count the horizontal... 1080p suddenly becomes 2k.

If we use LG's 2k display, actually a Quad HD display, the resolution is 2560x1440. Also called 1440p. It's a computer monitor resolution.

Tdream, THE NOTE 3 IS LAST YEAR. Someone mentioned it in this god damn thread. I know you have your own blinkers on, but come on. And no, this had still not improved enough to say they solved it. Its better than before, no question, but it is not solved.

It was solved with the 1080p resolution. I have to backtrack a bit on the Galaxy Note 2, I incorrectly remembered it was pentile but actually that was the S3 I was thinking of and the reason for buying the Galaxy Note 2 was because it had an RGB arrangement.

Again 1080p resolution solved this. I'm not sure if you've seen the Note 3 but the screen is stunning and I'm sure the Galaxy Note 4 screen will be even better, empirically proven of course

Apparently from the Displaymate article, the Note 4 screen is the best and better than the iPhone's best. And it was rated highest in almost all categories.

The Best Smartphone Display
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are the current Best Mobile LCD Displays and the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 4 are the current Best Mobile OLEDs Displays. Both are impressive and excellent displays with great state-of-the-art display technology. We recently gave the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 our overall Best Smartphone Display award, and for the time being that continues for all of the reasons originally mentioned there. In particular, for implementing Color Management to provide multiple Color Gamuts, and then using the Color Management to provide the Highest Absolute Color Accuracy for Standard (sRGB/Rec.709) consumer content of any Smartphone or Tablet display that we have ever measured (in one of its four available screen modes, which many reviewers seem to overlook). As we discuss next, dynamic Color Management is something that every display will need to provide in the future.

Yawn.

iFail.

iPhone 8 will hail the return of sensible devices and not this ridiculous, hand-bag using, suit wearing nonsense.

 

[tdream]

Well, there has been a theory that a significant number of the forum members is being paid by Samsung. While I usually don't subscribe to the idea that someone who does not share my opinion must have been paid by someone, it is known that Samsung has done this before, and you do have to wonder why someone spends his time on an Apple forum, writing 260 posts of which about 255 are complaining about how terrible Apple and Apple products are (including BS like the idea that Steve Jobs died due to his disappointment about the iPhone 4S). Yes, not everything Apple does is perfect, and criticism is often very justified, but spending three years actively contributing to a forum for a company that one hates? Weird.

Man, you are full of theories. What other logical reasoning could there be. I mean this is a place of worship and any non believers shall be condemned and stoned.

He doesn't really own a macbook does he? Yes I do. It's the best laptop on the market bar none. Does the iPhone have the best display on the market, nope. That's why I decided to post.

 

[D.T.]

Yeah it's 2 million pixels roughly but it's still 1080p. Somehow 1440p got the term 2k for some odd reason.

It’s not total pixels, it’s horizontal resolution of ~2,000 pixels. So 1080 with 1920 (~2K), and 1440P (with a bit more at 2.5K, but still < 3K) have been lumped into the 2K term.

I will say this I have had android and the iphone and will have the iphone 6+ soon.. I have the lg g3 and compared it to my friends iphone 6+ and it comes close to the lg g3 but it is no way possible that the iphone 6 screen is at the top of the cell phone list...If anyone with eyes and has seen a lg g3 would say the same

 

[sblemmy]

Although I find the iPhone 6 barely useable with one-hand, it is the best phone Apple has ever shipped. The text in Safari is incredibly sharp even when viewing the app in multitasking mode. The new design is a bolder distinction from the previous generation than the iPhone 4 was compared to the 3GS. I'm still amazed at how much thinner and lighter the 6 is than the 5s.

 

[Keirasplace]

What's this supposed to imply? I mean, come on... There are people who don't know technology on both sides of the aisle, it's hardly Apple's ~demographic~. The idea that Android users are more 'aware' is a myth.



Samsung only has themselves to blame for people worrying about that - they paid people to post fake reviews criticizing HTC, so of course people are going to wonder if they'd do the same but targeting Apple.

Astroturfing does exist 100% sure. Its obviously hard to prove unless someone internally leaks info.

But, I don't think Samsungites are the ones posting on Apple sites in general, just the normal trolls. The funny thing, they may or may not have an Android phones... Doesn't matter. Trolls are NOT about the subject matter at all.

Trolls are there to create a response and often don't really believe anything they say. Any subject to which a person may have a strong emotional or logical attachment and has a big public profile can be the subject of trolls.

Other favorites subjects, newly released high profile movies, popular TV series, button political issues (any women's issue, any issue related to immigrants or race, any religion vs science issue, etc).

 

[rsocal]

I agree!

Hopefully, if/when there's a 4k display (2k is 1080p, using the same axis 4k does for that measurement), there will be far more content than there is today to make it worthwhile. As a separate product entirely, we can all go out an buy a 4k TV today... but what exactly are we going to do with it?

The same holds true to screen sizes; with an app catalog the size of theirs, what was the benefit at the time to increase from 3.5"? When Android narrowed the app gap, there was more content available and use-case scenarios to justify the increase to at least 16:9. Sometimes it's cool to be the leader, but others it's just better to be the follower. Being a follower often allows for a mastery of function and execution.

I agree 100%!

My iPhone 6 Plus is awesome, the LCD screen is awesome and helps with battery life! Even though its not quite as good as OLED/AMOLED "overall", It's an iPhone, and the best "overall" smartphone!

I've held my iPhone 6 Plus next to a friends S3 Note and can't see any real difference with the 2 displays. To be very honest, I would say that, iPhone 6 Plus display looks better! I'll check out the Note 4 when I get a chance to see how much better the OLED/AMOLED display is???

 

[DCJ001]

the 6+S...now that just sounds terrible. I am thinking they may do some different naming.

Of course Apple will not use that name.

iPhone 6s Plus.

Funny, the plurality of reviewers actually said the G3 looked worse than other non Apple phones... Its only win : resolution. Considering the massive compromise in battery and performance, it would still be a loss even if it was the "best", which it is not.

There are other factors than resolution in a screen BTW.

Oh, and I've seen the G3 screen.,,

So we have a solid display, kick ass battery, now we just need the lag/ios 8 glitches smoothed out.

As for Samsung, hah... if you don't believe the internet is full of paid reviews for every brand/product on the market, with or without real user experiences, facts, etc. then I have a bridge to sell you.

If Apple was doing it, it would be all over the news like stink on ****! Apple is scrutinzed like no other, and anything even remotley close to paying people for fake reviews would have been all over the news already!

...um, I thought everyone here was am "Apple-Fanboy" why else would you come here, create a profile then bother to comment on a new apple product?????

Teste is clearly the left gonad of sami and has yet to recognise that trollsareus is a completely different site. Maybe an OLED display has caused partial blindness. #

Haters are absolutely LIVID!!!

BAM!!!! iPhone 6 Plus is by far the best handset in the world. I flipping' love this phone. So glad I went for the big boy. It is gorgeous and feels awesome in hand. Everything runs so smooth and snappy. I made my Samsung S5 into a surveillance video cam mounted on a shelf.

You got an image of how big the phone is your hand gripped? Too ill to go see for myself. I'm suspecting the iPhone 6+ will be too big for my tiny head.

So, WHY are you are if your not a "fanboy", love to talk about things you don't realy like for sheer fun? That doesn't seem healthy at all.

It's still OLED. The only thing keeping it from being the normal Samsung cartoonish screen is the Available screen modes. I still prefer lcd just like I prefer lcd over plasma

I think I made a cock up when I added Teste's comment RE fanboy. However the following is my post:

Yes, because the entire community here is one homogeneous like-minded individual that has changed its mind.
