hi everyone Aaron here for Zolo Tech and
this is the current offering by Apple I
wanted to compare the iPhone ten-hour
since many of you are concerned about
the quality of the display so we have
210 ARS we have the iPhone 7 8 plus 10s
and 10's max so we've got all of the
modern phones that Apple currently
offers now the whole idea of a
high-quality Retina display goes back to
the iPhone 4 and 4s this is a 4s but the
idea was for every one pixel that we had
before we're now going to split that 1
pixel into 4 and so in this macro shot
you can see that it's actually split
into 4 different pixels in a very small
area and that gives us a very high pixel
density now that's really what we care
about is it's per what our eyes can see
not necessarily what's on a spec sheet
even though the higher numbers sound
impressive they take more power to
actually push those amount of pixels and
beyond 300 pixels per inch most people's
eyes cannot resolve that so you're not
going to see those pixels now take a
look at not only the iPhone 4s but let's
take a look at a macro shot of the 10r
and on the 10r you'll see around the
corner it's kind of got little pixels so
that it fades into the corners and
that's not an easy thing to do but
around the knotch you can see there's
very small pixels now if we move over to
something like the 10s the 10s has very
very small pixels it's got a higher
pixel density of 458 pixels per inch so
you're not going to see those as well if
we move back to the iPhone 8 plus we're
at 401 pixels per inch and still you're
not going to see those with your bare
eye and I wanted to show you the
difference between the displays now
using the iPhone 10 R versus the 10s max
is a little bit different the display is
is slightly different due to this bezel
on the side here and the bezel is okay
to me you get used to it very quickly
especially if you're coming from
something such as the 7 or 8 plus but if
you're coming from something like the
10s or the 10s max well you'll see
there's a slight difference there so
there's a different thickness and it's
very difficult to make an LCD curved
around
the edges and then also backlit at the
same time that's why we probably don't
have 3d touch and now we have haptic
touch now the display looks great off
axis and I'm going to show you all of
these in white in just a moment but the
display looks great off axis it works
fine compared to a 10s max you can see
them off the a off axis angles the
colors look very accurate and most
people won't recognize the difference if
you take a look at some of the words
here the words are not really blurry
some people are reporting them as blurry
I don't see the blur especially if
you're holding it at a distance like
this if you hold it right up to your
face you may see a little bit of that
but honestly most people are not holding
them six inches from their face so as
long as that is taken into consideration
now one of the other things I mentioned
on Twitter if you following me there is
that this iPad the 10.5 iPad pro is
regarded as one of the best displays on
the market and this has a lower pixel
density of 264 pixels per inch
it looks great text looks crisp but this
has the pro motion display so it's a
little smoother otherwise it's got a
lower pixel density than the iPhone 10
are so if you keep that in mind I know
people are a little concerned about this
because it is an expensive phone but
you're going to have to decide whether
or not that price is okay based off a
spec sheet and personally I don't think
that spec sheet really matters if you
can't see the pixels now some people
were concerned you can't play 1080p
videos let me show you here's my
unboxing video of the iPhone 10 R and if
you go here to the settings you'll see
we have 1080p 60 that's an option and it
goes up to 1080p and then just scales
based on what the display is showing
that's how all of these work and since
YouTube doesn't give us the option to go
up to the higher resolutions you can't
see them on these anyway that's
YouTube's decision not to do that and
honestly it uses more power to use all
of those pixels so I'd rather save the
power and have a decent looking display
as well now the one thing that's
interesting is if we compare these all
in white let's go to photos here you'll
see here we can see a dream
difference between the colors of the
display now true tone is turned off and
night shift is turned off on all of
these we can change the brightness of
course but they're currently all on auto
so I want to show you what they do by
themselves and they all seem to be about
equally bright maybe we could turn this
one up a little and if I 3d touch here
or haptic touch there you'll see we
don't have true tone on or night shift
same thing here and see if we can get
this one to come up here well you're not
really going to see it on this one this
one doesn't have true tone but you get
the idea it's off on all of them that's
it so you get the idea there now of
course with the OLED displays it's going
to look a little bit different the
pixels are much tighter packed and
you've got a lot nicer deeper black so
let me show you a black background I'll
switch all these to a black background
so you can see the difference now all of
the backgrounds are set to black and the
difference between the OLED displays and
the LCDs is the old ads actually turn
off the pixels where it's black versus
the LCD where it actually has to
backlight them and show you the color so
I don't know if you can see that but
there is a deeper black on the OLED
display overall though I think they're
very evenly colored things look pretty
good and I don't think anyone will be
really disappointed with the iPhone 10
are especially since the 10r will give
you better battery life because of the
lower resolution display the processor
doesn't have to work as hard to push all
those pixels and in turn you've got
better better battery life for a little
bit lower resolution that honestly even
though some phones go up to 4k you can't
see 4k on these displays so you can see
a slight difference sometimes between
the 10s 10s Max and these phones but for
the most part anyone coming from an
iPhone 7 7 plus 8 8 plus even though
it's a 1080p display I don't think
you're going to notice a difference as
you can see size-wise between the eight
plus a lot of people were asking about
that there's the size it's very close it
is a little bit a little bit narrower
not much but very very close so I think
most people would be very happy with any
one of these phones but the 10s the 10s
max the 10 R is fine whether or not the
10 R is worth it or not to you that's
really your determination but it's a
decent value it's that screen
proposition whether or not an OLED is
worth 250 dollars verse this phone
either way I think they're all good let
me know your thoughts in the comments
