display of Iphone 8+ compared with iPad mini 4

I used an iPad mini 4 and an iPhone 8+. The iPad mini 4 causes me dizziness and burning eyes. I looked up the specifications for the display of each and couldn't see any difference. Am I missing something? Does the iPad mini have some different parameters for its display compared with the iPhone 8+. I saw some discussion of PWM but don't think that is relevant for these devices or is it? Does anybody have any ideas?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 15

Could such a small difference in ppi really be the decisive factor? I looked at that originally and wondered; but thought surely such a small difference wouldn't have any real effect.


In addition I would have expected the larger screen dimension of the iPad mini to have advantages over the iPhone8 - but in this case apparently not. Are the displays on the two devices identical apart from dpi and screen dimensions?

No idea about your problem using the iPad Mini, unless its screen (or other internal component) is defective, and I haven't heard/read anything about that specific model's screen.


To compare the two device's screen (there are many other differences), you can use these links (at the section "Display"):
