For me, I can't look at LCD for long, it makes my eyes strained but led does not cause anything as such, or maybe because I only buy flagships with led so they have these eye protection features perhaps

    Probably having really bad sales like the iPhone Mini did. You could buy a decent used few years back flagship iPhone for that price. Also Apple ecosystem parents won’t want to buy their kids something that expensive.

      Time for the USB-C iPhone SE also

        Almost nobody want this SE although The First SE was phenomenal. So I do not see any point why iPhone is still doing this, just a trap for peoples.

            at 400$ it isn't a mid to low end phone, even for iphones since you can a 2 year old flagship at that price new from them (at least if you live in a country with actual stores and not resellers)...

              I don’t have issues like that, but I know people that have and in some cases it is that bad that any oled based screen is a total no go, for those people the current smartphone market is a hell.

              They have these issues because OLEDs can’t have true DC dimming (and don’t believe the PR BS some companies claim), so they use PWM.

              In essence it is not really that people have eye strain because of OLED itself, but the PWM it uses.

              IPS can use DC, aa for OLED the only “half solution” it cranking up the PWM high enough that some people don’t have eye strain, but that doesn’t work for everyone.

                  They would never release it in 2023 anyhow.

                  People like Kuo should start gambling real money, he would lose it in seconds (all these “analysts” do nothing but ramble in hope they get it right)

                        i'd rather buy a redmi note 12 for $200 than an iphone for $500+. the policy of lies and hidden productivity reduction over the years has not gone anywhere at apple.

                          I'm waiting for iPhone with IPS Display.

                          SE 4 is my last hope. Companies must know some people can't use OLED.

                          They want to save their eyes and head from ache.

                          Forced to buy mid range phones now and will buy low end phone as OLED is now rare in that range too

                          🥴

                            I don't remember that the iPhone SE 3 was released this year.

                              They should keep it small like it is, a bigger se is pointless
