iPhone 11 Pro To those who went from iphone 11 pro to iphone 8 ...flicker

[esaelias]

Did your eye strain and funny feeling go away due to the iphone 8 being pwm flicker free?

 

[now i see it]

While the 8 doesn't have PWM dimming flicker, my 6 Plus (or an 8 Plus) is easier on my eyes than staring at a smaller 8. I switch between them all the time (different OSes) and it's such a striking visual relief to get back to the 6 Plus. The 8 screen doesn't seem bad when looking at it... until switching over to a plus. Then you really notice it. And it's not just because the Plus has a bigger screen. I believe it's easier on the eyes because it has a higher resolution.

I just made the icons and font bigger

If you have PWM sensitivity then absolutely the 8/+ will make you feel completely normal again.

Yeah, it usually takes 2 days or so to get over it.

You can also go with the XR / 11 to get a larger screen, better battery life, better cameras, better internals, and still be worry free.

I can attest to this. I downgraded to an 8+ and for me it worked great.

According to some folks here, even the XR and 11 have caused issues for them; from eye strain to headaches. Most likely because of their low resolution screens and PPI.

Which watch series have PWM?

But they have same ppi as iPhone 8

Screen resolution is still fine it’s a Retina display. Unless people are using their phones 2-3 inches away from their face, shouldn’t be a concern

That said I personally feel the iPhone 8 and 8 plus are perfectly capable and competitive phones. I prefer the smaller size of the 8 to the chunkier 8 plus/XR/11 myself.

Same PPI but blown up to a 6.1" screen compared to the iPhone 8's 4.7" screen.

THAT's the problem.

Which watch series have PWM?

All the Apple Watches use OLED panels (Which can attribute to PWM), however, the flicker has been affiliated to the Series 4/5 models.
