iPhone 6 Plus Polarized Glasses - Excellent!

Just wanted to share that the iPhone 6 is much easier/nicer to use with polarized glasses. No funky colors or image drop outs. If anyone cares.

I remember them mentioning that in the keynote while talking about creating the screens.

This is interesting to hear. I have polarized sunglasses, and often have to take them off to see my phone.

Even if you rotate to landscape?

Exactly! These are the features that keep me in the Apple camp. I love my Ray Bans and always hated having to pop mine up to read my phone. I'm glad someone else noticed and included that in the design.

Yep. I can confirm this too, it really does help a lot with visibility. It's an awesome little change.

same with the 6. wearing my polarized Oakley's, there is no problem looking at the screen and getting the rainbow effect.

SUCCESS!!

From Apple:

Improved polarizer
Your iPhone goes everywhere you do. And sometimes that’s outdoors in the sun. With that in mind, the Retina HD display has an improved polarizer so you get a clearer view when you’re wearing sunglasses.

It's actually better in landscape (at least with my glasses). Brighter. Portrait looks good but there is a fairly significant dimming.

When Phil mentioned it in the keynote, I was like, YES!!

Ditto. This is a change, but not a great one considering portrait is the main mode.

It was uglier previously (colour tinting) but more readable.
