So google, in an obvious PR stunt played the sheep and revoked access to the extension even though they were slyly paying for the data being collected. I guess they didn’t count on being outed as one of their customers...

The predecessor to the iPhone 11 Pro will have a smaller 5.4” display??

Huh? The X, XS and 11 Pro have all had 5.4" displays.

Uhm no.... 5.8” in point of fact. That’s why this holds no water in my opinion. 

The rumor has been for months 5.4/6.7”, instead of 5.8/6.5” for the Pro/Pro Max, multiple sources including Kuo, who time and again nails the display sizes. The previous rumor of 5G on all three, which never made sense unless the prices for the 12/12 Pro and 12 Pro Max were going to be $999, $1,299 and $1,399 (i.e. no chance in hell), or if 5G was an optional upgrade.

Now we’re starting to get more nuanced rumors, such as ProMotion for the Pro models, 5G optional and only available on one model, which could be the 5.4” or the 6.7”; I suppose the 6.7” is most likely. The Y-octa tech makes no difference, that’s all about cost. 

I was actually responding to the commenters that said they had always had 5.4” screen....

however I still disagree with your comment! They’re not going to shrink one of their top end devices by almost half an inch. That’s ludicrous.

So is OLED dramatically better on iPhone screens? Do you really notice a difference?

In a word, no. 

I have a Xs with an OLED screen. My wife just updated her 6s to an 11 with a LCD screen. Her first comment was how great screen looked. Later when she asked what the difference was between her phone and mine, I mentioned the OLED vs LCD screens. She held them up, side by side and couldn't tell the difference. Neither can I for 99% of the use. If I use my phone as a clock on my nightstand, having a black screen rather than a dark charcoal grey screen is nice, but in general, the LCD screens Apple uses are high quality and you won't notice the difference.

It makes an enormous difference, particularly to content; especially so with HDR, and particularly the 11pro line with Dolby vision etc, not to mention differences with outdoor viewing. I mean the new 11 pro has typical home screen brightness of 957 nits. Average brightness 800-902nits - higher outdoors. And HDR content up to a measured 1090 full screen white which peaks at up to 1290 nits for smaller(20%) areas of screen. And believe me, this is not me geeking out at numbers - this is readily apparent to anyone that isn’t A.) blind as a bat, or B.) one of those people that float through life not really paying attention. (You know the sort that never notice a change in your appearance) It is major for anyone with a critical eye, or photographer/videographers. Truly a marvel of engineering. I know it’s small scale but this beats out Panasonic’s custom OLED reference monitors! And they’re stunning.
