Almost all Glacier units are with G9N panel. Almost.

So panels according to colour

 

[Jirachi]

Can one, don't think and just hoot!
The ceramic white looks good too, but I prefer the Ultra for the endurance.

Ceramic is bound to crack even with case.

Definitely if compared to the Ultra series - Titanium.
Not suitable with my lifestyle needs, I don't know how many times my AWU knocking into things.

Same sia, I had a lot of oh **** moment with the ultra but nothing at all ~

I prefer the flat sapphire glass of the ultra, don't know why they like to round/curve the glass on the # Series Watch ... But Ultra really solid, my ultra 2, until now, still looks practically brand new.

Actually for older man which got the special old flower eyes, the rounded edge actually enlarged the wordings on the watch a bit. I see better on series 12 than my ultra 2.

As expected, the iPhone 18 Pro 手感 is really superb. Battery life seems to be better than iPhone 17 Pro.

Though my glacier set is GH3 but I think I’m quite lucky that my display panel no abnormalities.

How many iphone you had? Previously you replied yours was G9N?

 

[roastedcoffeebean]

got GH3 panel hais.. compared against my 15 pro max G9N panel, its dimmer and less white at max brightness. Wonder how it will fare under bright direct sunlight hais.

GVC vs G9N is similar to what i saw too.




G9N also suffer from near field color shift more now

Independent measurements indicate that the panel Samsung is supplying for the iPhone 18 Pro lags significantly behind its predecessor in terms of viewing angle stability.

Specifically, the issue concerns Samsung’s G9N OLED panel. Chinese display tester Poorplayer published JNCD measurements on Weibo revealing a striking difference compared to the G9N panel used in the iPhone 17 Pro. JNCD stands for "Just Noticeable Color Difference" and describes the point at which a color deviation becomes perceptible to the human eye. According to the measurements, this threshold is reached on the iPhone 18 Pro at an angle of just around 20 degrees off-axis.

The difference becomes even more pronounced at wider viewing angles. At approximately 35 to 40 degrees, the JNCD value reportedly rises to just under 3 before dropping again. At the same time, the colors shift more noticeably toward green than on the previous model. While this might sound like a detail of interest only to measurement enthusiasts, it is actually quite noticeable when viewing the smartphone from anything other than a direct, head-on angle.

My 18 pro max was GVC and 18 Pro now is G9N.
To be honest, I am ok with both color.
GVC got the green tint at certain angle, but somehow the G9N when put side by side, to my eyes, got a reddish tint haha

how to check display ?
any software tool to check it?

Honestly speaking, only 1% or less can tell the diff if they look directly at the screen. 5% or more need to compare and maybe more than 90% dun really care that much. But for iphone, samsung display are indeed the better one over LG. I know cos yes, i also spot a diff with my previous 256Gb model. I owned a 512GB now with a G9Q panel display, before that was GH3 panel display.

People said this is all in the mind, or placebo effect. As long as you don't really bother, it should be fine. I do agree with you that in real life scenario, one will seldom need to tilt like this. And when you are in dark mode, you can't really tell a diff.

I returned my 18 Pro Max G9N yesterday. The apple staff asked 'why are you returning'? I said it's too heavy. He gave an unsurprised look and proceed to whip out his iPhone Air and suggest to try the air if weight and size is a consideration.

Till now, the only noticeable difference between my GVC and G9N is warmer vs colder display. I didn't try turning or tilting all angles to view the screen. When there's nothing to compare, I really like the GVC display too.
