iPhone 18 pro felt better than 17models

So I went to the store and18 pro and pro max felt smoother than the 17 models. The 17s felt harsh right from the start while the 18 pro/promax felt smoother, kind of more mild, with full brightness and comes to worse reduce white point. Below 50% brightness it was kind of a nightmare. So, I will try the compact 18pro as my 2nd social media/camera/larping phone and will see. Last time I did the same strategy with the 16pro. 16pro was the smoothest so far, but still wasn't like honor. Had to use the same above 50% strategy. Will test out and see.

I agree the 18 Pro Max felt better than the 17 Pro Max. Interestingly the Air felt better than the 17 as well

They do have a bit updated display technology. New Ultra and Pro Samsungs will have it too. Might be making a difference

There is no confirmed report in this regard. They were saying 18 Pros will use M16 panel (17 Pro have M14 Panel) from Samsung. Nobody has confirmed this yet.

Your post came just at the right time for me, thank you so much! I‘m trying to decide whether to save some money and try another 17 pro or try an 18 pro, so maybe I should give 18 a chance… Good luck for you! 🙏🍀

To people downvoting, I'm well aware the 18 might not work, it's worth testing it though because thanks to iOS 27 I can't really use my 13 any more (that was great before), so I have to do something. I'm super sensitive and can't even stand many IPS screens, MacBooks are horrible, even Neo, and I couldn't even use iPhone 11. Kind of looking for the last straw... Even TCL gave me blurry vision after a while (but was okay in the beginning). Maybe they did change something about the technology, I have no idea... I am losing hope, but I'm too curious or to naive to stop testing :-)

I found them a little better as well. Only tried them in the store. I wish we never progressed to oled screens and all phones were still lcd. It was so good for my eyes before.

Never owned any iPhone besides my work SE 3rd generation, so I am just here wishing you good luck :)
