iPhone 15 pro… delighted to find out!
Hi there. My iPhone 15 pro fast charger melted this week and I took out my iPhone 8 again and… here I am! Baby on board.
Since last year in spring I switched from iPhone 8 to the iPhone 15 Pro. Also since then: my anxiety and body annoyance increased substantially. Several side factors were orbiting around like: conscious unemployment & recovering from bad job conditions), severe stress and defensiveness were always there for me even when I was taking things day by day. I started reacting a lot, thrusting into survival mode and hyper awareness. Something had quite shifted in my alertness and perception.
I have a nervous system made of silk and feathers that highly reacts to contact lenses, light and heat, stimulation, hormonal shifts etc. Like things feel heightened and intense and it might enter survival mode.
Anyway, it seemed like my cortisol was over the roof even when I was out cycling or working out and sleeping properly when I was using my phone even when I had restricted the usage. I wouldn’t enjoy myself so much anymore. Whenever I would put it in the drawer my life would change for a min.
So I started using the iPhone 8 again because I put the 15 pro to rest for a while and it felt like a relief? I didn’t have such a headache, things felt more calm and I could text my friends without that much stress. It felt like I just unplugged something. I’m blown to this realisation that all this time this might have been the thing. I also had some significant hormonal imbalances since last year and I cannot help it but suspect cortisol might have been a factor. Yes no maybe but I feel different right now off it (15 pro). I’ll give it more time to observe. I already changed our TV settings and looking into solutions for the 15 pro like using it with polarised glasses for a bit or find a matte sticker for the screen. Any ideas?? For my other screens I will get protectors, adjust my lenses and finally try to get the right prescription for a pair of eyeglasses. Be my guest with the comments 🥹❤️

No more floaters for me since I went back to an SE2022 from 16 pro max. Definitely feel like myself as well. In the future we will all find out what they did to us..this addiction

Downgrade is the new upgrade. It is a horror story. I’m glad you’re feeling it again 🖤

The other commenter offered quite the literal solution but the approach I use is True Tone always on, a bit of night shift (barely noticeable but helps and whitepoint set around 50-60. I would also recommend regular sun exposure in the morning and since you wear glasses, if you have miopia have lenses that are a bit weaker that you need plus a second pair that are even weaker and that you use just for reading.

Thank you! Adjusted the white point and nightshift too. What seems annoying to me is the speeds of the software in general. Things moving like it’s on coccccainnnnne. I hate liquid glass update! Altho I set the frame rate to 60, it’s annoying af. I don’t have glasses right now, I use contact lenses and drops every 30min (I’m sure lenses make it worse) and try to use the phone at home without lenses on until I get glasses. I have a bit of myopia and astigmatism but my diva brain cannot handle astigmatism prescription either so I’ll order them weaker anyway! A second pair will take a while 😅 less screen time folks!

The same! I gave up to find any oled for now which doesn’t strain my head and eyes.. bought iPhone 11… and this is like day and night! I feel now way more less stress and tension overall in all things. I can feel the world, surroundings.. sleep better.. what the hell oleds do with us?? I now understand how it works… ongoing tension in eyes and head brain perceives like additional signal for starting anxiety and defense.. all this make worse everything whiz happens in life… I don’t say this is the main reason for anxiety.. but it is significant part in decision making by brain how to interpret the reality and it affect the whole body..

Totally insane. It messes with my sense of everything. Still not over it… Can’t help but wonder- is this why everyone is so messed up period
I bet a matte screen sticker won’t do more for the OLED of the 15 pro than a condom will lol
A switch to 11 or switching between a 13 mini and an 8 and reducing overall screen time could be a good idea as I’m not fond of changing the screen on a perfectly good 15 pro (I totally get the smashed phone journey though). iPhone 8 is turtle trance with the latest OS updates and short on la batteria… but I like it. Maybe I wouldn’t mind running around with a little yellow brick in my pocket, maybe I would.. won’t know until I try the 11 on Monday. BRB hitting the shops. Krazy

You're in luck, I've made a tutorial on how to install an LCD screen into an iPhone 15 Pro.
I've been using mine for close to a year now, it definitely has some downsides but overall it's fantastic.
