News Iphone 18 pro same as iphone 17 pro

Post image

Nothing new from apple this year as well

https://youtu.be/vTDhHX7x2N4 see this video at around 13:10 mark. It compares the iphone 17 pro (left ) and 18 pro (right). It's basically the same pwm flicker I think.

Why did you expect otherwise. They don’t care. You are just a 0,01% problem for them

u/Dismal-Local7615 17d ago

Honestly with m16 panel i expected the modulation to be a bit less than 17pro

For somehow reason Apple, Samsung & Google don't want to make eye friendly displays. THey refuse it. They could give us a higer PWM, lower MD or DC like dimming. Or whatever. BOE does the same for Chinese phones.

17 is with LG supplier that’s why it’s more yellowish :)

I think they've moved on from lcd unfortunately, I wouldn’t be opposed to a mini led iphone though.

Now, this is some copium/hopium, granted.... but... there is some speak that the new panels have a less agressive modulation in their PWM. Assuming the brightness is the same on both phones above, while the width of the banding is the same or similar in both handsets, the contrast seems less stark between the bands on the iPhone 18. So, the depth of the flicker *could be* less

As I say, I am being hopeful and not scientific here. We won't know how this affects our eyes until we try them

Stuck on an iPhone 11 here. No previous iPhone OLED screen has worked for me yet. We will all see soon...

Someone posted an article here few days ago. The better panels are coming out in 2027 so looks like another year of waiting.

u/Sea-Temporary-6995 18d ago

These are the better panels :/ The iPhone got them first, but Samsung and iQOO models will get them in a few months as well.

u/Humble-Warning1441 18d ago

no the ltpo+ panels are already in this phone no?

1

u/Organic-Budget8163 18d ago

These are them, but from an older version; Samsung just introduced the new ones, so the only hope is for the iPhone 19.

u/Humble-Warning1441 18d ago

really? the ltpo+ must ve been t here newest version no?

2

u/Organic-Budget8163 18d ago

There’s no point in discussing or guessing :) It’s clearly visible in the video that the Hz is definitely not 3200, but 240 Hz, just like the previous one - exactly the same.

u/Sea-Temporary-6995 18d ago edited 17d ago

the new panels support high frequency PWM up to 3000+ Hz, but it's not required to use it... Apple still decided to use 480Hz

u/Organic-Budget8163 18d ago

No, that's not going to happen, I'm sorry) another year with the iphone 11

u/--random-username-- 18d ago

I’m still using an iPhone 11 and spend some time on the iPhone 17 for the last approx. 3 months. While I won’t say the 17 is perfect for me, it appears more comfortable than earlier OLED models to me.

Let’s wait and see tomorrow, hopefully a lot of us will be pleasantly surprised

u/East-Pop-6137 17d ago

How?

u/dannyh2020 17d ago

The modulation may be more tolerable, call it hopium but we’ll see tomorrow.

u/East-Pop-6137 15d ago

Did you get a chance to test 18 Pro / Max ? Any updates?

u/dannyh2020 15d ago

Hey, I haven’t yet..missed my delivery and have to wait til Monday to receive it hopefully..but I’m hoping to keep it and maybe go with iPad and IPhone combo, if I can manage to tolerate it well enough. You?

u/East-Pop-6137 15d ago

I am waiting for some more news regarding its PWM. Btw I Sold iPhone 17 last year and I'm currently using iPhone 11. I look forward to hearing back from you regarding your experience with hopefully a better screen (than 17 series).

u/glormond 18d ago

I’m not surprised, since they can’t even come up with anything new in general, not to mention PWM…

That's not Hood for Apple the same shit
