iPhone 7's 'Best LCD Display Ever' Marks 'Major Upgrade Over iPhone 6'

Yes, get the newer Samsung devices. They keep the best amoled screens for themselves. The Note 7 has a max brightness of 1,050 nits according to DisplayMate.
Where have you been? That really hasn't been an OLED issue for a while now.
I used Waze about 20-30 mins in a week, within few months, the burn in is already there and pretty obvious.
I also got few friends who played games a lot, and all got UI burn-in in matter of few months.
It's more nasty and common than you think it is.
Lol, that's what I was thinking. He must be thinking about the old OLED screens. Even the whole OLED "burn-in" issue is nearly non-existence now a days.
Burn in after 30 minutes a week? That is indeed terrible. As much time as I spend on mobile phone forums (I have an android phone for work plus t also interests me), I would think I should see this topic creep up daily. Not sure what else to add. Unfortunate your burnin in, though.
I'd be interested to see your screen burn in if you want to share. Because that is indeed unacceptable.
but it's not OLED
I'm not a big fan of OLED's oversaturation. I think Apple is in the right direction staying away from that.
perfect is a weird word, yes, but, that said, there are precisely defined definitions of color and colorspace reproduction standards that are very measurable and these measurement are used in determining a display's accuracy. apple has long been the leader in out of the box accuracy across all their devices and this latest milestone is no surprise. they know what they are doing with color. in pro circles many photographers and cinematographers use iPads as reference displays for color editing. for a reason.
All parts that go into Apple products must meet minimum specifications defined by Apple. They only accept the best / most reliable while meeting a balance with cost and profit. The much-discussed situation of 5400 RPM hard drives placed into recent Macs is an example of where they did sacrifice performance without sacrificing reliability in order to meet target profit margins.
So while Apple may get screens from a third-party, you can be assured that they have not been purchased blindly ("oh, you have displays? Okay, we'll take a million!"). No... each part goes through rigorous testing first.
For a very comprehensive overview of work that Apple does directly on display technology, go here:

They do a lot of work that contributes directly and indirectly to finished products, and the industry as a whole.
I've no flipping idea
it's still stuck in processing order... if it takes any longer I may cancel it from Apple if I can get it from somewhere else, my iPhone 6S goes on Friday, I'll have to use me backup Nexus 5 in the interim.As for display mate:
The Best Smartphone Display
The Galaxy Note7 provides many major and important state-of-the-art display enhancements, with mobile OLED display technology now advancing faster than ever. The Galaxy Note7 is the most innovative and high performance Smartphone display that we have ever tested. It leapfrogs the displays on the Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S7 to become the Best Performing Smartphone Display ever.

Hope you can see it with your display. It's called OLED burn in.
Any idea why I have that on my iPhone 5s as well? If I'm typing for a while, then switch to a other screen, the keyboard is still (barely) visible, just like on this Samsung above.
Your emotion detector is broken as it relates to anger. Take solace in the fact that it's 100% operational in snark detection.
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.
What you characterize as snark is rooted in anger, as evidenced by the fact that me being a photographer lends a point of view based on real life experience (rather than internet searches) that is relevant when it comes to photography, cameras, displays, etc. And that clearly bothers you.
P3 is a wide color gamut, as is Adobe RGB. Is one better than the other? I guess it depends. I don't know the reason Apple made that choice, but I suspect it has to do with their view of the future being more about "film"/video - it is a standard for the film industry. An Adobe RGB panel could have been chosen just as well. There is no downside both having wide gamuts and convertible on output. The point is they're both much wider than sRGB, allowing colors to be viewed and processed that sRGB couldn't handle.
"Am I a photographer? I fail to see the relevance."
It's relevant to me because I give more weight to people who speak from direct experience rather than internet searches. From your questions it appears you have little knowledge about P3 other than from a cursory internet search.
I have no problem with you not placing value on people who speak from direct experience. I'm certain google serves you well in tech forum conversations.
Certainly the brightest. Probably a slightly more yellow white balance than iPhone 7, though.
Who are you going to believe? The trollers on this forum or your lying eyes? The trollers or the expert reviewers? The trollers or the independent testing outfits? Face it, the screen sucks.
Saw the new screen on the 7 in Best Buy over the weekend and it is indeed very accurate, wish I had that on my 6S. Kudos to Apple for getting the excellent display tech from the iPad Pro 9.7 in a small device like the iPhone.
OLED 'oversaturation' is entirely dependent on what the manufacturer wants to calibrate the display to. There is no reason Apple cannot have accurate colors with an OLED display.
This misconception needs to end. OLED does not automatically mean 'oversaturated color'. Samsung's OLED displays on the Galaxy line are all very, very accurate (look at the DisplayMate tests) and they've been that way for the last couple generations of phones.

Just reporting real world experience. It's part of being an Apple customer. No company is perfect, with Apple there's never a dull moment...
So says the Note 7 user and notorious anti - Apple troll. Your history belies your claim of objectivity.

"Long time Apple customer" LOL. Sorry, you've been outed. Your history betrays you as a most active anti-Apple troll.
I can't understand why there is such a push for Amoled. The grainy looking pentile displays on the Samsung devices I have used are far inferior with a visible screen door look.
Personally I hope Apple continues on the path to LCD perfection.
When's the last time you used a Samsung OLED phone? That 'grainy' effect of Pentile has not been an issue for quite awhile (partly due to improved pixel arrangement over prior Pentile displays, as well as the very high resolution that Samsung uses). I'm very critical of displays and there's really no comparison, the 1440p Samsung displays are much sharper and clearer than what Apple uses. No 'screen door effect' to be found.
The Apple Watch is amoled. Do you find it to have a grainy screen door look? I do not, but in deliberately asking because you may see something I can't.
