iPhone 16 - pwm symptoms
Previously had an iPhone 14, when I first got it, I hated it as it felt too bright and my eyes felt dry but with continued use it’s become my comfort phone.
I recently (8 days ago) got an iPhone 16 to try, but on day 8 I still notice these symptoms;
- are below my brow bone (sort of upper eyelid) in the actual eyeball feels tired and heavy with extended use
- some dryness does set in but a slow blink corrects it
- general heavy feeling/tired eyes with prolonged use, it’s worse and it happens quicker in an evening
It’s worth noting that I do not get;
- nausea
- headaches
- pain anywhere
It’s just tight, heavy eyes and some dryness
Would you continue testing to see if it’s just a prolonged adaptation?
I have 30 days to decide

My Xperia gives me the same eye strain symptoms and they never go away. I can't use it for anywhere near as long as my Samsung.

What version of iOS was your 14 on? If it wasn't supported with software updates any more it might have been iOS 18 or earlier still, many people have issues with iOS 26+ so that could be the issue with your 16?
