Never realized how much of a difference P3 wide color gamut makes

[xxray]

I’ve been using my old 6+ lately when I want a larger screen but don’t want to get out my iPad, and you can really tell the difference between the iPhone 7’s wide color gamut screen vs the 6+’s screen without it. All the colors look so much more dull on the 6+. Also, I don’t know if this is caused by the addition of wide color gamut or it was just apple’s tweaking, but the warmer tone of the screen on newer iPhones looks way better imo. This 6+ looks too cool for my taste and reminds me of old computer screens that would hurt your eyes. I still can’t see the wide color gamut on the iPhone 7 when I’m using it, but it’s definitely noticeable when switching to a diplay without it. Anyone else notice this too?

Put it this way, I work in the film industry, and we’ve used DCI-P3 space to colour most vfx shots and final colour correction done in feature films. There are other standard now which I won’t get into, but big budget features are at least P3 (or other standards) colour space (on the production side), some cinemas don’t have P3 projectors though, so for me, this has me excited as I’m happy that people on phones are able to see our hard work in the production houses (although after excessive compression, most colour info is lost, unless you watch the 10gig a min raw files haha)

It’s exciting, things will look accurate, hours of colour correction work will be encoded to accuracy to deliver the best intended experience.

while I'm aware of the differences, I've seen them exclusively on a small sample of images supplied mostly by apple. I've never seen it in 'the wild', in apps or web.

i cant even find p3 wallpapers. would probably beat the purpose considering apple heavily compresses the wallpaper you're using, severely degrading colors and detail.

disappointing experience, really.
