This image is only visible on iPhone 7 and iPad Pro

I'm wondering if cheap displays can also display the image, but not in the way that it's supposed to.

The iPhone 7 has a wide gamut display meaning it has an expanded color palette.

Your display may be adjusted so the image appears, but that does not technically mean your display can display every color that the iPhone 7 can.

and what use do you have anyway, are you going to professionally edit photos in lightroom or photoshop on an iPhone ? no, so it doesnt even matter. you're not going to notice anything different anyway

7/7+ take photos in P3, and render P3 quite well

for non P3 content, it maps properly to sRGB,

the difference is visible, beyond a red square from an enjoyment perspective, never mind professional editing

its one reason in addition to portability I ditched my 12.9,

9.7 Pro just to clarify, 7/7+, 2016 rMBP and the later versions of RiMac

DCI-P3

nice displays that cannot render the differences in red here, are probably sRGB

I can see it on my monitor even when set to sRGB mode (I have a high end BenQ monitor for photo editing). BUT ONLY IN CERTAIN BROWSERS - that's another consideration because different browsers display color differently!

EDIT - I can see in Firefox but not in Edge or IE. Also, if I save the image and open in Photoshop, it's not visible in the default 16-bit RGB rendering or in 32-bit. I have to down sample to 8 bit to see it.

I made this thread to show that the iPhone 7 screen has a wider range of color than the iPhones before it.

I thought it was pretty cool proof and I thought it was cool how my iPad, iPhone 6 and ASUS PB278Q IPS display couldn't show the subtle differences in the 2 reds.

I guess I just wanted to share that one little trick. There are other wide gamut images out there to look at, but the red square was more of a proof thing instead of just relying on ones perception of what it should look like.

I just don't believe the people saying they can see it on their older iPhones and iPads.

I can see the image just fine on my iPhone 7. Even checked it on my dad's. But it doesn't show up at all on my iPhone SE, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4, or late 2013 retina MacBook Pro.

Agreed. Can't see it on my Air 2. But can in my 7Plus.

If you are able to see it, it means one of two things:

1) You are using an OS or browser that properly supports color management AND you have a display that supports the P3 wide color gamut.

OR

2) You are using an OS or browser that DOES NOT properly support color management. If your OS or browser does not support color management (Android), you will see it regardless of whether or not your display supports P3 wide gamut.

This is why people using Android phones and even really old computers are saying they see it. It's because the OS or browser they are using does not support color management.

Samsung OLED displays see the images just fine. Galaxy S7 and Galaxy Tab S2 had zero issues. I wonder if the IPS displays used by LG phones can see the diff?

Sorry guys!!!! It looks like I posted the wrong image! So sorry! I posted it from my computer so all I saw was red.

I've uploaded the correct photo now (from my iPhone to be sure)

If you see an image inside the red square then you have a wide gamut display (like an iPhone 7 or iPad Pro)

Sorry for the confusion!!!

lol it's the same as the first picture you've uploaded, which is a circle with some pattern inside.

Post 1 was originally just a red square with no image for anyone to see.

Not sure how they accidentally posted this image unless they had it on hand (a true red box with no image in it) to mess with us. I'm on to you OP.

Actually, a few days ago I found the image while looking up the wide gamut capabilities of the iPhone 7 and I saved it to my phone. Then, I wanted to post the picture for you all to see (or not see), but I did it from a computer and had to relocate the image. I thought I had the right one, but I was wrong.

Check it out guys!

If you only see a red square, then you do not have an iPhone 7/7+ or iPad Pro.

This is due to the wide color gamut (DCI-P3) display of the iPhone 7 models and iPad Pro.

I've got a very expensive IPS monitor at work that can't even display this image correctly.

Cool! I can't see it on my 12.9 inch iPad Pro or my 2015 Macbook Air, but I can see the image inside the square on my iPhone 7.

That has nothing to do with the displays themselves. Every Android phone can see the images and it's because Android doesn't support proper color management and doesn't display the images correctly, causing the images to be visible within the squares regardless of whether or not the displays support P3 wide color gamut.

If you had of read the hole thread you would have read that he updated the first post to show the correct image.

Someone is always able to twist something good into something bad and vice versa.
 
Interesting! I can see it on my iPhone 7 Plus & also my LG Google Nexus 5x .... but it showing only red in my BenQ VALED panel. All using Google Chrome.
