    Darth Caesium, 02 Oct 2024I get that you're sensitive to PWM, but geez, you'... moreOLED is not that good in that aspect, but the newests ones solved this.

      Well, at least it'll have a notch which looks miles better, less intrusive than the "crazy" pill...

        PureOS, 02 Oct 2024Also they will remove LCD screen, which is bas for PWM sens... moreStatus symbol with the brand is too high for something like PWM to stop people use the phone for Apple to lose that much customers. Never mind that it's a fact that companies dont care what customers want or their healt with their product.

        They will say for the people with the PWM problem as they are looking the screen the wrong way like Jobs use to say your holding the phone in the wrong way that you dont have reception

          a low spec iPhone want to compete with Motorola?

            PureOS, 02 Oct 2024Also they will remove LCD screen, which is bas for PWM sens... moreI get that you're sensitive to PWM, but geez, you're not being realistic here. The PWM flicker can be fixed by using higher PWM dimming rates, and being able to use DC dimming at a higher range of brightness levels. OLED isn't inherently bad for PWM flickering, and it's not that it's inherently harder and more expensive to minimise it, but because there's a lack of interest by the market (since PWM sensitivity isn't common enough to cause them a significant enough loss in potential profits). If politicians had even small balls, they would've by now set a minimum (and a sensible one at that) for PWM dimming rates, and you or I would most likely not be having this problem. In my case, while PWM flicker isn't obvious except when there's low light (which could be due to a good panel as well), it does still strain my eyes, and that's the biggest reason why smartphone use causes eye strain, not blue light like people commonly suggest.

              Anonymous, 02 Oct 2024If it's going to be based on iPhone 14, then what'... moreThe leaked CAD render had a USB-C port instead of Lightning, plus the SE '25 will probably come with an A18 chip (compared to the A15 inside of the iPhone 14).

                Based on the iPhone 14, yeah right. It will probably be all the iPhone 14’s they didn’t sell lol….

                  PureOS, 02 Oct 2024Also they will remove LCD screen, which is bas for PWM sens... moreA typical Apple move would be to continue selling the 3rd Gen for $429 as before, then introduce the new SE at $549 (you heard it here first)

                    lol, why not keep sellimg iphone 14 , instead of selling it as a new phone? Apple thinks customers are fools???
                    no wonder why iphone sales have fallen in recent years

                      Also they will remove LCD screen, which is bas for PWM sensitive people. There will no longer be phone for them in iOS world. So that 10% customers will move to Android...

                                Hopefully it will maintain 6.1 or below that. I'll definitely will consider it like 90% to replace my iPhone 11 😎

                                  According to CNN, this year iPhone 16 -> iPhone 16 Pro Max sales are down significantly compared to previous year which itself was down further from previous years. CNN feels that people are not going after iPhone 16 Pro Max and might settle with base edition itself.

You have no such doubt with new SE even if it's the same as iPhone 14. Some people just want that peace of mind and I can't blame them.

                                      Anonymous, 02 Oct 2024Could also be getting the A18 chip on top of USB-C. I believe so. Plus not everyone is ok with a secondhand device.
