I realised I did not reply to your comment. Yes I agree it is actually smart to buy the previous model to a better price, especially since there has not been significant changes between iphone 11-13?
Got a tip for us?

11 has a LCD display. 11 pro has an OLED display. 12 and beyond has an OLED display. Eye strain can be caused by an OLED display, so you can fix that by reverting to the 11.
Also, regarding the screen issues, I would send it to apple so they can repair it. That should be covered by limited warranty.
Turn the brightness down and stick a JETech TPU case on it. Sorted.
It took a few days to get used to the OLED on my 12 when I got it as the contrast was insane compared the XR it replaced. But now I’m sitting here on a 13 pro and I wouldn’t go back.

No I don't like LCD?. I went from X to 13. I guess there has been many changes during the last four years I was on my X
Yes, please check. If the 12 feels fine, you have that option to upgrade to if the iPhone 14 does not fit your bill still.
Thank you! No I'm stuck with the 13 for two years;p due to the contract made with my carrier. But the plan is to give the phone away after 2 years to a family member and upgrade. I usually keep my phones for 4-5 years so this will be a first^^
Oh, you bought a 13. I missed that somewhere. Well, in that case, please play around with Display settings under Accessibility to maybe find a balance that you can live with?
Any friend with one? Any electronic chain carryingiPhones?No I did not? (no Apple stores near me) I kept the 13 I have now
I believe it was due to me transfering my X to the 13. But then the X should have had the white point reducing thing aswell, so I'm unsure, its a mess at this point what was what
As I explained before she does not want a brand new phone she has to be very careful with (clumsyness + my toddler niece)^^ Otherwise she would have bought her own 13
Lol I understand. I actually should have not started this thread? Had I just waited one day or two I would have gotten over it as I seem to have gotten used to the screen now and also love the form of the 13 aswell. I started the thread just when I had unboxed and started the 13.Oh, you bought a 13. I missed that somewhere.

I felt initially like the guy in that meme video "My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined"?
The PMW really freaked me out though, before I knew what PMW was (learned about the term and fenomenon PMW thanks to you guys on this thread!) so thats mostly why I started this thread!
I did try to end this theread 1-2 pages back! With "I'm keeping the 13, case closed" but comments still came in so my ending post got lost?
You iPhone X uses a 240Hz PWM.
Apple iPhone X Smartphone Review
The iPhone X expands Apple's lineup of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. It is the first time you get an OLED screen with very slim bezels, but it also waives the Home button. How does this work in practice?
I would try factory resetting your phone and see how the screen looks then. If you already found one setting that transferred over from your old phone that messed with your display, then who knows what other settings are doing the same. I didn't even know display settings transferred from one phone to another. At least you can then get an idea of how the screen looks from the factory to help make a decision.
You can always cut your financial losses and go back to a device (or buy a new device) that works for you, but you cannot replace your eyes that easily. Freaking out about something that is causing you issues with eyes is normal, it's justified! Be careful and do not hesitate to do what you must to keep yourself healthy. Health first!
Aww thank you for your kind comment! Its not much loss financially as its via my carrier, I will pay monthly for the device (2 years) plus my carrier services (the phone will cost me, converted to dollars, 100 dollars less in the end, better then nothing lol).
Yes eyesight is important indeed!
I was however so focused on the screen I did not found out how bad the image post processing is before today lol, now I have bigger problems?? I'll head over to the iphone 13 camera problems thread and rant there ?
