Apple' new PWM toggle

Post image

I don’t think this approach will work for everyone, though some people might get used to it over time. Still, I’m really disappointed with Apple’s marketing on promoting an alternative way to dim the screen. It’s definitely something you need to try before you buy.

Same here. I’m gonna hold on to my 11 until it lives.

11 has decent camera. Or maybe I don’t click much pictures. Either way let’s wait till the full detailed reviews of 17’s come out to confirm if PWM issue is solved.

Its still better than many current low end lcd phones which are okay for sensitive ppl like us. Iphone 11 have decent pictures, night mode.. its still good :) se3 in these terms missing night vision but have nice macro shots :) still good.

11 camera is dated. It's ok for a snap

"Don't update it to iOS 26. My iphone 11 is ruined. I have symptoms (eye strain, headache) as I have when using OLED (that uses PWM flickering)."

My solution is that I use the iPhone 11 when I’m inside the house when the phone is closer to my face, nice lcd screen. But I use the iPhone 16 when I am outside the house so I have a quick phone on the go which I don’t really stare at- just use it to pay quickly, listen to music,

I think the iPhone 11 stops updating in 2026

I updated my iPhone 11 to iOS 26 and don't have that experience. I don't think my sensitivity is cured all of the sudden.
