Introduction
As the release date of the iPhone 16 Pro draws nearer, information about the screen update is gathering users' expectations. If these information is correct, the new display technology will bring a better visual experience. Compared to previous models, iPhone displays have been constantly evolving and now offer higher brightness, higher resolution, and smoother operation.
In this article, we look back on the development of iPhone 16 Pro display technology, thoroughly analyze the new visual experience, and also explain the importance of anti-blue light and how to deal with it.
Comparison with previous models
Successive iPhone models have seen incremental improvements in display technology up until the iPhone 16 Pro . Here's a comparison of each of the key aspects:
Screen brightness
- iPhone 13 Pro: Up to 1000 nits SDR brightness, 1200 nits HDR peak brightness.
- iPhone 14 Pro: Maintains the same brightness as the iPhone 13 Pro.
- iPhone 15 Pro: Slightly improved brightness, especially for better visibility outdoors.
The display used
- iPhone 12 Pro and later: Uses a Super Retina XDR display (OLED technology) that achieves deep blacks and a high contrast ratio.
- With high color reproduction, videos and photos are displayed more clearly and realistically.
Refresh rate
- iPhone 12 Pro: Standard 60Hz refresh rate.
- iPhone 13 Pro: Introduces ProMotion technology and supports refresh rates up to 120Hz.
- iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro: Continuing with ProMotion technology, providing smoother operation and a smoother visual experience.
Screen width and bezel design
- iPhone 12 and later: Features an edge-to-edge display design to maximize screen-to-body ratio.
- The bezels are gradually shrinking, giving the entire device a refined, immersive look.
Although previous models have certainly made progress in these areas, there is still room for improvement. With the iPhone 16 Pro , we can expect further optimization and innovation, which will enable users to have an even better visual experience.
The evolving display technology of the iPhone 16 Pro
The display technology of the iPhone 16 Pro is likely to evolve further compared to previous models. Various improvements, such as larger screen size, smaller bezels, and the introduction of new display technologies, are expected to provide users with a new visual experience.
Screen size and bezel design
The screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro is likely to increase from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches, which will provide a wider visual experience and be ideal for multitasking and entertainment applications.
At the same time, the iPhone 16 Pro may further narrow the bezels by introducing a new technology called "Border Reduction Structure (BRS)," which will improve the overall visual effect and users may feel a higher screen-to-body ratio and better aesthetics when using it.
With shrinking screen bezels and increasing screen size, the Dynamic Island design is expected to be more integrated into the entire screen, providing a seamless viewing experience.
This design optimization will make the dynamic islands more visually appealing and improve screen usage efficiency.
Screen Brightness
The iPhone 16 Pro 's screen brightness is said to be 20% higher, reaching 1200 nits of SDR brightness and potentially maintaining a peak HDR brightness of 1600 nits. This increased brightness could provide users with a clearer and more vibrant visual experience in all lighting conditions, especially when used outdoors.
However, increased brightness may also result in increased power consumption.
Of course, it would be ideal if the iPhone could increase screen brightness while maintaining the same power consumption as before.
Refresh Rates and Display Technologies
Previously, people have focused on the "jelly screen" problem, which is said to be caused by an insufficient screen refresh rate that causes stuttering when scrolling up and down on the screen. According to Weibo users' messages, the iPhone 16 Pro may continue to support ProMotion technology and provide a higher refresh rate to achieve a smoother visual experience. The improvement of this technology is expected to bring a more comfortable user experience when browsing web pages, playing games, and watching videos.
Higher refresh rates may result in increased power consumption, but Apple may mitigate this effect through software and hardware optimizations, such as adopting LTPO technology to automatically adjust the refresh rate and lower it for static content to save power.
The iPhone 16 Pro 's screen visual effects are expected to provide users with an even better visual experience with its larger size, improved brightness, optimized display technology, and narrower bezel design. These improvements will not only enhance the aesthetics of the device, but also improve its practicality, satisfying users' needs for a high-quality visual experience.
iPhone 16 Pro Max display
The large iPhone 16 Pro Max is equipped with a 6.9-inch display, the largest in the iPhone series to date (previously 6.7 inches). Despite the larger size, the bezels have been designed to be thin so as not to impair the feel when holding it in the hand.
NIMASO's anti-blue light smartphone film
Smartphone display technology has evolved, and devices with high-brightness screens, such as the iPhone 16 Pro , are extremely advantageous for outdoor use. However, using a high-brightness screen for a long time in a dark indoor environment can have a negative effect on eyesight. Blue light is harmful to the eyes and can easily cause eye fatigue, especially at night or in dark places.
For this reason, it is extremely important to use products with mature technology that can maximize the reduction of blue light, such as NIMASO 's anti-blue light smartphone film, to protect your eyes.
Blue light blocking and eye protection
NIMASO 's iPhone 16 Pro anti-blue light smartphone film uses SGS-certified blue light reflection technology based on the US military standard "MIL-STD-810H" to significantly reduce blue light. This reduces eye fatigue and protects eyesight when using a smartphone for long periods of time.
Anti-fingerprint and smooth to the touch
This film has a water- and oil-repellent AF coating, which makes it resistant to fingerprints and dirt, and feels smooth to the touch when in use. This allows you to keep the screen clear at all times during daily use, gaming, and office work.
Easy application process
NIMASO 's film comes with a special guide frame so that even beginners can easily apply it. By using the guide frame, the film naturally adheres to the surface and can be applied accurately without misalignment. This three-step process makes it easy for anyone to apply the film.
With these characteristics, NIMASO 's anti-blue light film will be the ideal choice for maintaining eye health while making the most of the iPhone 16 Pro 's advanced display technology.
summary
The display technology of the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to further evolve from previous models and provide users with a new visual experience. However, issues such as the impact of high-brightness screens on eyesight and increased power consumption cannot be overlooked.
Taking measures such as anti-blue light film can address these issues and enable a more comfortable and healthy smartphone experience. While we look forward to continued advances in display technology, it is important to choose products wisely and protect your eyes.
