Eye strain when using iPhone 12 pro

Yes! I just got a 12 mini today, and after looking at it for an hour or so, my vision is blurry long after I put the phone down. I have never had any vision problems or needed glasses. Very disturbing.

I found the above information on internet. This issue atleast warrants an official statement from Apple; btw the customers have the right to know if their latest apple device screen brightness is controlled via PWM aka flickering.... there must be a DC dimming solution option in the settings going forward otherwise there can be more and more people affected because of this issue and subsequently not buying current and future products at all.

I am also experiencing the problems with 12 pro..I can’t use iPhone more than 10min. Causing severe eye pain, burning , watering throughout the day..I am first time Apple user. Never had issues with Android mobiles. Very disappointed..With eye pain and burning, I am unable to concentrate on my office work also. .did any one find any solutions to reduce this? Seriously disturbing...

Happy to hear I’m not the only one. I’ve send my unit back. I feel naeseous, especially when scrolling. I’m very disappointed my brain can’t handle the screen since I love the form factor and the MagSafe.

So I’m back with my iPhone 11... fine screen, but too big. While I enjoy FaceID I’m afraid I’m going to go back to the SE 2020.

I’m not going to enjoy leaving the Apple ecosystem though I feel it’s getting worse. Yes the M1 MacMini is great... but try replacing the storage or RAM. I know we can’t replace the CPU and that’s ‘fine’, you know what you’re getting yourself info but... it feels like a big middle finger to everyone who needs a lot of storage or likes Apple products but is on a budget.

Add another 12 Mini, my eyes start watering, straining & blurring; like others have said, no amount of display adjustments will stop it.

It’s especially troubling after buying it outright, unlocked and $50 of accessories to protect it!

exactly the same problem and I am back to my old iphone SE. Apple refuses to accept return or exchange because in Hong Kong there is no such policy. To make things worse all my personal data is in the invoice so I cannot even sell the phone with the original receipt which greatly reduces the value of the sale. I ve been using apple since 1990 and never imagine there support would get this bad. We are facing a health and safety issue and apple doesn't care.

Yes the eye strain is absolutely awful. The speed of my iphone 12 is much improved compared to my old moto, but I'm back to looking things up on the moto and its so much better on my eyes. It's bad enough I stare at a computer all day for work. Apple really needs to take a look at this. It's a serious problem.

Thank god I’m not the only one!

I bought a iPhone 12 Pro Max and after 2 minutes had a sore head, blurred vision which is absolutely ridiculous for the price of the phone.

I then sent it back and got a iPhone 12 but had the same issue so had to send that back.

I bought a iPhone 11 but let’s face it the screen is rubbish for this day and age so I’m now jumping ship to another company.

Really disappointed apple and such a shame.

I have the same problem ... I bought first (11 pro) which causes me big headaches, then I said to try 12 pro with which the situation is even worse ... big eye pain and head ... I actually feel my eyes burning, I feel a tension in my forehead, it actually makes me terribly dizzy ... I'm disappointed that I have to retun 12 pro and go to 11 (non-pro) ... Apple do something, pleaaaase !!!!!!!!

Yes! I went online to see if others had similar and sooo many say the same thing. My eyes are straining to read and I have good eyesight! So annoyed that I will have to pay a 70 dollar return fee!!

I think slow refresh rate causes the eye to extra work and dries. Try colirium or just salive. Hope 120hz in iphone 13 makes it better. Ay ay apple...

additionally, I also tested the new iphone se, I also had the same problem with that so I dont think its an oled vs lcd problem.

Apple know about this problem since iphone X but don’t care. People still buying new phones and shareholders are every year more happy.

Apple is really company that don’t care about their products even when they make really big mistake in design like cooling system in MacBook Air (intel variant)

SAME! I have the same problems with iphone 12 and 12pro, they both hurts my eyes very much, I haven't got these problems with any of the previous generation iphones, but iphone 12 made my eye hurts for only using it couple minutes!

Yeah and apple say the screens are made by Samsung however when I used my friends s21 ultra I didn’t get a sore head so something is clearly effecting my eyes on the new iPhones.

Always been apple but it’s time to change as I’m not buying a iPhone 11 as the screen is a disgrace in this day and age. Such a pity.
