The advantage of eink is not (just) the reduced battery life.
Its that you have an entirely passive display, which does not need any backlight whatsoever.
That means looking at it is just as pleasant as looking at a piece of paper and even if it somehow used up more energy it would still be the superior technology for static content.

you have to suffer, 18 May 2022sadly. android phones have become the larger screen and i h... moreApple is probably going to end up scrapping the iPhone mini and make an iPhone 14 Max this year instead. Apple knows that there is a market for smaller phones, but they know that it's not giant enough to warrant making a 'mini' flagship every year. The 12 mini did NOT sell as well as the rest of the series, and it's likely to be the same case for the 13 mini when sales numbers come out. Their SE works as their 'compact small smartphone' which is why they're likely to refresh the SE next year or at most 2024, and binning the 14 mini for a 14 Max instead.
That being said though, for now, the iPhone 13 mini is definitely a good small phone. I would wait out getting an SE until they use the XR-like design or whatever design they plan to use for the SE4.

Rosso, 18 May 2022SE is biggest phone ripoff possible, at such a price in 202... moreTrue. the problem is apple and every other manufacturing companies are greedy. apple doesnt provide a full body display/second camera for SE because it would crumble the sales of their expensive counterparts. apple intentionally removed the headphone jack just to open a new method of business. samsung and rest followed. hard to decide who is worse.

Healthyheart, 18 May 2022No dear. OLED flicker. Flickering makes your eyes tired e... moreto your eyes anything more than 10 frame per second is continuous. the OLED flicker you cant see but cameras can because the smartphone display is in general 60Hz. it would happen again if the source is 100 Hz and the capturing camera is for example 240 Hz.

They both emit light and that is what harms the eyes (blue light mostly). E-ink is different but you have to read them without emitted light to protect your eyes, otherwise it would be the same again.

If this can happen, i can finally move to OLED panels.
Right now, reading on LCD is way healthier for eyes than reading on OLED, Amoled, POLED or whatever they call it. Watch these panels in Slow-motion or open WhatsApp camera and watch through it.
Eagerly waiting for mainstream e-ink displays

Foldable for iPhone and iPad? A folding iPhone with greater screen size will still run iOS? Meaning no apps running in split screen? Or maybe they'll have iFoldOS
