I’d love for this to be an XR clone with a 6.1” LCD. Too bad this is rumored for 2024 instead of 2023. I’ll need to replace my XR before then.

lcd > cheap rigid oled. decent flexible oleds used in iphones are more than 3x as expensive as rigid. iphone 11 planned rigid oled for regular model but stuck to lcd, theyre just not up to par and look problematic (terrible viewing angles, uniformity, black crush and purple smear)

flexible oled cost may be affordable enough in 2026.

I think some people are affected by PWM so maybe it’s for them.

I don’t think apple would use something to cater to 10% of people. They’d use LCDs for cutting costs or to differentiate the phones in their lineup easier. If anything the PWM issue is just a thing that would come with it but I don’t think that’s their priority

LCD screens are fine. Especially a good quality one

I’m with you there. Not sure how much longer my XR will last but I’ve loved it! Would love an updated replacement.
