Here’s some actual spectrophometry on the 10 Xs vs the 11 ProMax
The basics: all Auto brightness functions disabled. True Tone off. Night shift off. Both phones at peak brightness setting. Both phones connected to power source. I’m using a contact Spectro C6 made by xRite with custom calibration by Portrait Displays (the old Spectracal).
Xs. / 11 ProMax
Peak nits. 616 728. (Higher is brighter)
Color temp. 6618 6608 (A higher number is cooler color temp in degrees kelvin)
Turn on TrueTone (midday, average room light, cloudy sky)
5112. 5171
TrueTone off, Night shift on Max warm
2744. 2783
TrueTone off, Night shift on med
4153. 4211
Most differences between the 2 models would be considered inside of any perceptible difference. Most importantly with all the auto settings OFF, TrueTone and NightShift OFF.... the 11 ProMax is nearly identical in color temp (an imperceptible difference IMO).
These are both launch day phones. The consistency of these readings I would expect to be repeatable with a large sample of the same phone. Modern display panels don’t have the variance typically.
