Me too, and I never used any screen protector since iPhone 3G. That is until iPhone 14 Pro which somehow has the worst screen durability I have ever had.
Got a tip for us?

Flexible screen. No thanks. And where is their ecosystem? Ah they have none. I though so.
The variable refresh rates with ProMotion mean you are regularly moving around iOS at a lot less than 120hz. The differences are frequently very subtle to none-at-all because iOS is intelligently saving battery. This is not an opinion. This is a fact.
Cool story bro, nothing to do with that I said though.
I would agree. I used 120hz for a while and then went to 60hz for 3 generations, only to come back. I barely notice it.
When was the last time you traveled outside of Europe or North America?
There are more Huawai users in mainland china than Apple users on Earth…
You realize that right?
They have massive ecosystem.
They are not the best phones. But for the price and the market they are top notch.
Sounds to me like the 16 models would support always on display but they have blocked it with software.
I can’t understand why they don’t just push the dynamic island all the way to the top. What good is that sliver of display?
It causes those things for some people. Not for everybody.
Me explaining ProMotion variable refresh rates has nothing to do with you telling us about the differences you thought you were seeing with 60hz and 120hz displays?
It’s completely irrelevant because pro motion displays run at above 60Hz when actually interacting with the device. It doesn’t drop to 60 when scrolling around.It would only be running at 60hz if I had a 60fps video playing full screen or was playing a game that hadn’t been update to support higher than 60fps. I also notice when it drops to 60Hz when the device is running hot.
I can tell the difference between 60Hz and 120Hz with ease. All of this is completely beside the point that you are trying to police people’s opinions about how they personally perceive 60Hz displays as “wrong”.
Please try to stay on topic or I’ll assume you’re a troll trying to derail the conversation.

Huawei has a huge ecosystem that includes all kinds of devices and even cars. You know the thing Apple failed to build while Huawei, Xiaomi, etc did.
Quit with these nonsense marketing terms like "Super Retina XDR" It is an OLED screen with variable refresh rate from Samsung or LG. Like every other phone out there.
You forgot to mention the color accuracy. And no, the display is not like every other phone out there. Samsung does make very good displays at the high-end, but they are not the same as the displays they manufacture to Apple's specs, requirements and exacting standards.
Or just say: we’ve been catching up with Samsung and now we’re selling their displays 🫢
I already have this issue with the thicker bezels of the 14 Pro because it's too big for me to one hand. Almost makes me want to try the Max next upgrade as I'd just default to two handing it. Thus contributing to the problem telling them no one wants smaller phones.
The contrast of 60Hz to 120hz is night and day eh? Reminds of when the iPhone 4 came out with the retina display, it ruined phone screens for me then, 120hz has ruined them again for me now.
My personal iPhone is a 14 Pro and my work iPhone is an 11. My eyes are too used to the smoothness of 120hz.
those phones are TANKS at this point, what about customers that want one hand use light iPhone? not everybody want an iPad in the pocket! Apple need to listen to the Japanise market and create a 5-5.5 inch iPhone.

No efforts to improve the bad flickering indeed. My LCD iPhone 11 is getting too old and slow, I have ordered the new Bigme Hibreak e-ink phone, a bit raw but certainly usable with no eye-strain, I'll report in a dedicated thread when fully tested.
