Iphone 14 PWM

I wanted to know about the PWM frequency in the Iphone 14. How much is the PWM frequency (hz)? The reviews showed that the Iphone 13 has a PWM frequency of 610 Hz. And the review from Notebookcheck showed the PWM frequency on the Iphone 14 60 Hz. While on the Huaw p50 pro smartphone in which the PWM frequency is 1440 Hz, the review on the same site also shows 60 Hz. Does this mean that the PWM frequency in the Iphone 14 is higher than 1000 Hz Thank you in advance for the answer

You wouldn't call this "minute techicalities" if you were on the same boat as me and (likely) OP.

PWM is getting more and more annoying over the years, and for my personal experience apple has one of the worst implementations, maybe it's not just the frequency (otherwise 13 pro models should have been good, with 5/600hz frequency, while i found them absolutely unusable) , but the amplitude too.

With that said, using them in stores iPhone 14 plus and pro max seem to be slightly better than base 14 and way better than smaller pro, but it's not a sure test at all, since in apple stores they are at max brightness and the environment is lit up like a firework (with maybe pwm neon lights, who knows).

If the other poster likes to know what the issue is, here you are: eye strain, that then becomes headache, and for the luckiest of us dizziness and vertigo.

Apple had even the deep thought to add dithering too on top of the cake, so for example I cannot update my iPad pro 2018 to iOS 16 because it becomes painful to look at, even if it's LCD (no pwm)


Here you can find some other experiences about minute technicalities, all people limited to iPhone SE and iPhone 11 due to this ****** technology:

PWM is short for pulse-width modulation and describes a flickering of the background illumination to reduce the luminance.


Instead of going into such minute technicalities if you post what the issue is being faced by you, many may be able to assist you to overcome the problem faced by you.
