Title: Apple iPhone 17 smartphone review - The best iPhone of the year is unbelievably close to an iPhone Pro
Post by: Redaktion on October 01, 2025, 19:26:24
For many years, very little changed with the basic iPhone. This is now changing rapidly with the introduction of the Apple iPhone 17. Especially when it comes to display and cameras, the iPhone 17 is closer than ever to the Pro models. Additionally, there is now twice the memory and a better battery. Despite this, the price has not risen.

Why is the score on "Games Performance" only 74%? It doesn't seem to fit the review content

So it's the best, but there is one [Pro] better [than the best]?

There are multiple panel manufacturers for iPhone displays (LG, Samsung and BOE), so there is panel lottery thing on them. I wonder which panel is this one? (G9N, G9P and G9Q are Samsung, GH3, GVC are LG) And I would like to see information about panel types in the next review articles as well.

The PWM flickering measurement analysis is wrong!

"NBC says that the toggle switches it to DC dimming. Which it doesn't. It switches it from PWM to PAM, which basically still flickers but is more of a sign wave than a sawtooth wave. A.k.a. it's slightly smooth it out a tiny bit. And only under 25% brightness. So they literally wrote that it does a completely different thing that it doesn't do."

I think I saw only one correctly done PWM measurement on your website. It was a Pixel 10 Pro I think, reviewer even did a dithering test.

This PWM measurement is just another misleading garbage. Stop doing PWM test if you don't understand the issue. Throw away your Rigol devices and don't waste your and everyone else's time
