hey all,

so I finally got my iPhone 12 mini and my previous iPhone was the XR. So got the iPhone yesterday delivered.

love the 12 so far. However what I have noticed is that my left eye tend to get a bit tired now looking at the screen. I mean I do wear glasses and it seems this happens to happen with glasses on and off. At first it seems it’s okay then later on I notice this. I did a little test yesterday too. I was reading some text on my iPhone covered my right eye and noticed the text was clearer on my XR compared to my 12. I am not getting any headaches or anything else. Just a tired eye I guess you can call it a strain on the eye. I am really annoyed if this is due to pwm. Man I really love this iPhone but i need to think of long term if I am just going to try and adjust to this iPhone or get the SE 2020 as I want a smaller iPhone. Appreciate some thoughts on this from everyone.

thanks

Miyagi
 
Go to your optometrist for a new prescription.

Or try a privacy filter screen overlay like the Belkin - they reduce the angle of light and polarizes it.

I might do that. As thinking after I wrote this post. My eye is still feeling tired and heavy even when not looking at my iPhone 12. Maybe it’s not pwm related then. Thanks
