Edit: oops, I wanted to reply to someone else, actually. Nevermind

            The Europe price with extra 99€ is to punish EU for forcing them use USB-C / open iOS to other apps / stop charging 30% in stores for other companies services?

              Shame it doesn’t have a18 pro in it but it should have 8gb of RAM to accommodate AI tasks. The iphones using same chipset also had 8gb RAM

                        150 for cellular? It's an extra chip and an antenna. I as a consumer can buy both of this for like 25, can't imagine how cheap Apple gets them

                          About 600 EUR....... haha this is a joke

                            The biggest downside and only reason I won't be getting is the display. It's not an oled and it's not bright enough.

                                  Anonymous, 15 Oct 2024Iphones have 480Hz flickering. Chinese phones advertize 2... moreI guess you come from NotebookCheck reviews. They're very unaccurate when measuring PWM, though they have improved recently.

                                  480hz is not high enough, but even more than frequency, iPhone (and Samsung) major issue is usually modulation, which is too wild in their panels.

                                  And those high PWM numbers from other manufacturers kick in at a certain low brightness threshold. I have owned a Samsung A55 and a Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G. I had to return the Samsung since I was quickly affected by its terrible implementation. The Redmi is much better.

                                  Check PWM Sensitive on Reddit since it is a strong community about the subject, lots of info and phones tested in there.

                                    Its just fine .. match well with the price.

                                    If apple give you oled 120hz small bezel and face id, they probably will sell it at around $799-$849 or even closer $1000 with tax in some countries.

                                    Then some european will keep complaining about the pricing..

                                      VicsanIdiot, 15 Oct 2024shame about the 60hz (and massive bezel) but its still a wo... more60z is good

                                      I've a Samsung 120hz s23, yes it is smooth and fancy

                                      But my low end g99 tablet is perfect smooth at 60hz. I don't notice 60hz except if I start to overthink of it.

                                      And I prefer 60 hz lxd than 3824hz oled. I really see difference for my eyesight fatigue. Even LCD has backlit which is not great with UV along other things.still it's better to me.
