The display of iPhone XS and XS Max really reduce the damaging on user eyes than others of their caliber. This one major feature has a great ability but Apple does not talk a lot about it like other its devices, which is not a usual incident.

Bigger and better for your eyes

Last year, iPhone X is the first time Apple introduced the OLED displays on their smartphones. Even though the LCD screens were used, optimized and already perfected in the old Apple devices. This year, Apple continued to use OLED displays on iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. Instead of OLED display in the iPhone XR though, Apple equiped a 6.1 – inch LCD Liquid Retina display that’s has lower resolution than the iPhone XS Max and XS.

According to a study from Tsing – Hua University, it shows that the new OLED displays are significantly healthier for your eyes than the old LCD displays found in old iPhones.

Less eye strain

The test result revealed the iPhone XS Max expose a 20% higher MPE (Maximum Permissible Exposure) than the iPhone 7. MPE measures the time it takes for a retina display to become inflamed from screen exposure. iPhone 7 screen scored 288 seconds, the iPhone XS Max scored 346 seconds. This means users can look at content longer without making their eyes hurt and straining.

Less affect sleep patterns

The iPhone 7 with its LCD panel can have more negative affects sleep than a more advanced screen like that of the iPhone XS Max. It will not disrupt your sleep patterns as badly as iPhone 7 display because the OLED display fix an iPhone XS screen blue light emitted before going to sleep. The sensitivity to melatonin suppression is reduced from 24,6% on iPhone 7 to 20,1%.

The new Liquid Retina

The iPhone XR comes out later this month so that the University has not been able to test the Liquid Retina yet. But this test showed the real difference between an OLED panel and a very advanced LCD panel. If you extremely care about your eyesight, spending a bit more on iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max might just make the purchase seem worth it.
