iPhone 16 pro max causing me blurry vision?

I JUST got my iPhone 16 pro max today, after using an s24 ultra, then an s25 ultra. I never had any issues at all the ENTIRE time using any phones for the last 10 years, today, when getting my iPhone, I was on it for less than 10 minutes and it’s causing blurry vision, does anyone know why? If so, what settings can possibly fix this? If it can’t be fixed I’ll have to return it because I can’t have this happen.. it’s not just basic “eye strain” as when i go back to my s25 ultras screen, it takes a second to readjust, but my eyes will go back to normal after a bit and I’m good. Has anyone ever heard of this happening or have any advice for this??? I tried looking it up and can’t find anything on the topic at all. Thanks

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

Return to place of purchase. There is no point going through settings etc. Just return it and move on.

The solution is what the original poster did. Use a different cell phone. If the screen technology Apple is using causes you to have blurry vision, you need to change phones. If you think your iPhone is broken, have Apple Support diagnose the issue. If Apple determines an issue exists, costs may be involved.


Have Apple perform diagnostics on your iPhone. It can be done in person at an Apple Retail Store or at an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can also contact Apple Support and request remote diagnostics.
