Another way to look at it from their reports is that the 6s was on the cold side. White point was little too much blue. This one is way more accurate white point.

Hmm, my 6s never once had a screen protector and was taken to the beach often - yet had no micro abrasions on the screen. Do you keep other things in your pocket?
I'll provide input for this, I don't carry anything else in my pocket but my phone still gets scratched without a screen protector.
People you do realize that Apple didn't make the display?
So the fact that is the best display ever is not a kudos to Apple.
It's a kudos to Samsung, Toshiba or someone else, but not Apple.
D65 is a Daylight 6500deg K light source (roughly midday sun in a mid/northern European latitude).
No, nothing, I was shocked.
Bad luck and OCD.
I've carried the iPhone 4 sans protector all the time and only used the bumper I got thanks to antenna gate and it looked fine
Now I also use the BookBook wallet case, so If I were to carry it without a protector the oleophobic coating would have rubbed off right away.
Shame they couldn't get the IPP 9.7's antireflective coatings... The low reflectance on iPP is what makes that display.
What I always notice about AMOLED is the blue-green shimmer when viewed at off-angles. To me that is worse than not having pure black (with LCD)
That's kinda the point. If you did have an anti-reflective coating on the 6s to bring it inline with the latest iPad Pro, you would have micro abrasions on the screen, or more accurately, in the anti-reflective coating. Without that coating, the display is much more resistant to abrasions of that sort.
Yep, the PWM dimming is a problem for me too. I'm actually surprised that most people don't see the flicker. In addition to actually picking up distinct low frequency flicker at the lower brightness settings, it makes the image on screen somewhat unstable if the phone is moved relative to your eyes. It's kind of the opposite of sample and hold motion blur, in which moving images on screen appear blurred because there is no flicker. The screen is constantly turning on and off, so when you move that screen through your field of vision the elements on screen (such as text) cannot be tracked easily. It kind of looks like the image is randomly broken up.
The Note 3 was the last Samsung OLED panel which didn't use PWM at 100% brightness; The modern panels flicker even in "boost" mode, though it's fast and much harder to detect.
No thanks.
I'll wait until the 7s with OLED.
You simply cannot go back to LCD panels after you see OLED panels.

I don't mind 326ppi too much in normal use but I do wish they would bump it to around 400ppi just because there are things you can notice easily. Such as in the new stopwatch screen which is white on black with large numbers, it looks a bit jagged. Also for when I don't have my contacts in and need to hold the phone a bit too close and can see pixels easily, especially on an iPad.
You keep screaming you're a photographer... and you care about accuracy. Then why aren't you using a phone that supports Adobe RGB Color Gamut? You know, the color gamut that is 17% larger than the Standard sRGB/Rec.709 Color Gamut. The same Adobe RGB Color Gamut used in higher end photography.
I mean a fussy photographer would care.
Why so angry and snarky?
The iPhone 7 supports the DCI-P3 color gamut. Which is wider than Adobe RGB in some areas and not in others. You lose some blues and greens, but gain in reds and yellows. Overall it is significantly wider than sRGB and roughly the area as Adobe RGB. That's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to an iPhone 7.
Are you a photographer?
Nope. Could not see any difference from my 6s. The screen quality is excellent on both phones.
It's warmer to me too. But it seems like it's the extra colors. Things are popping a bit more. Don't believe mine is not as bright though.
Make I ask why you are even here on these forums? You're quite obviously an Apple hater, so why spew forth your venom here?
In no way am I defending oled or Samsung here, but in betting this is a store display that has the same screen on 99% of the day. Is this a real world issue that people are facing? I doubt it.
Hope you can see it with your display. It's called OLED burn in.
The same was said about plasma. Because the store displays run the same damn thing for a dozen hours a day for months at a time.
I don't keep anything in my pocket, I never set phone face down, and have actually never even taken it to the beach (stayed in car) and have a few micro abrasions. I really have to look for them though. I mean really look for them.
Not at all a deal breaker. And I'm keeping this phone for another year to boot. I've never had a phone completely scratch free at the end of a year and I consider myself pretty careful with these phones. Not sure what else I can add. Something is obviously finding it's way in my pockets that's able to scratch the screen some.
Your emotion detector is broken as it relates to anger. Take solace in the fact that it's 100% operational in snark detection.
The snark stems from the fact that you keep reiterating you're a photographer as if it lends credence to your argument. It doesn't. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the DCI-P3 color gamut more about video content (4K and such) than photography? Isn't Adobe RGB more about photography? Afaik, the iP7 supports DCI-P3 and sRGB and uses color management to detect which color gamut to use based on what's being displayed. I haven't found any supporting information stating DCI-P3 will have any effect on photography. Maybe you have.Am I a photographer? I fail to see the relevance. Either I am presenting factual information or not. Neither my profession nor avocation changes facts.
