> *Up to 15–50% slower decision-making in offices with high flicker (and high CO₂)

just throws me right off the argument in an article when the fine print notes that a cited study is confounding the thing the author cares about ("sensitivty to flicker") with a much simpler and better-understood explanation (CO₂ poisoning)

I tried my best but once it starts citing different sources as providing hard numbers and then not linking to the sources... and of course they're selling something. Might need a citation on that claim that iPhones don't use PWM.

I had to return an iPhone because the oleds they use flicker so bad. The only iPhones that don’t ficker are the SEs because they use ond school LCD screens. But of course they got rid of the SE. So now I’m stuck on this old SE3 until I can find a different phone that doesn’t flicker because as of now ALL iPhones flicker.

iPhone 16 Pro Screen flickering / PWM detected 239 Hz Amplitude: 15 %

The frequency of 239 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below.

There are reports that some users are still sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be aware.

I always check notebookcheck.net for PWM stats.

For reference, the regular iPhone 16:

Screen flickering / PWM detected 60 Hz Amplitude: 25.75 % Secondary Frequency: 487 Hz

Even if the iPhone was flicker free, holding the iPhone itself throws all that out the window with all the addictive colors and notifications and badges
