Why is my iPhone 14 Pro causing headache, nausea and eye strain? PWM Complaint...

I am having exactly exactly exactly the same symptoms

Did you fix your problem and if you did, how?

Just few minutes ago I was thinking to take 14 Pro max back to the Apple shops and 12 Pro max ( I didn't have no issues with that phone)

Obviously not the right words, BUT tech at Apple Store agreed 14 and 15 do "communicate" or whatever the technical term is, differently, or possibly with more strength, because of the safety features that began with the 14 i.e. if you're lost, out of range, let's say in the mountains, 14 or 15 will find a satellite. If you're in an accident they will notify.

Not PWM because it happens while just holding and not looking at the screen.

Unless you're somewhere with absolutely no cell signal, that type of communication simply does not occur.

I suggest you visit your physician, as RF sensitivity is not a verifiable diagnosis.

Are you able to use your iPhone SE with a later version of iOS 16 or iOS 17? Something happened for me with one of the iOS updates that makes previously comfortable Apple LCD screens give me similar bad symptoms like OLED screens do.

i bought iphone 15 in April 2024, and ever since i feel like whenever i use it i get headache, even 10-20min usage of it is too much, i am regretting buying it, androids are better than this heating (literally burning) machine.

it heats so high that its tough to even hold it in hand worst experience

Anyway I say this because I use Apple products and love Apple , so please think about the fact that more people are starting to suffer from pwm. Try to cater for all would make you sell even more.

Apparently you are not reading all the threads here. Apple executives and managers will never see this thread. And Apple does not make displays. And I’m sure they are aware of the issue.

This is false as it states in the user agreement that apple may use information from our post last to use with their products….

I’ve been experiencing similar symptoms. Ever since I switched from the iPhone 11 4G to iPhone 14 5G I’ve been getting a pain behind my left eye and a pain around the temples.

Doctors do not and will not help with PWM sensitivity.

They do not have the same refresh rate iPhone 12 Pro is 60hrtz and 14 pro is 120 hrtz so no you don’t need to see a doctor. Your probably noticing the difference in refresh rate

Exactly. Thank you. Do you know if turning on “Limit Frame Rate” under Accessibility/Motion would make it like the 12 Pro Max?

Several websites specializing in this issue say the refresh rate does make a difference.

Eye strain is part of the syndrome. Yes, I’ve read that a faster refresh rate is less irritating. Could you do something helpful and provide definitions for PWM and refresh rate?

Yes, on the 14 Pro Max it can go down to 1. That could affect eye strain but has absolutely nothing to do with PWM.

Have exactly the same issue. Cannot use any iPhone beyond 9th or 10the generation when they replaced the screens.
