While the XS Max is an improvement over earlier iPhone models, Apple still hasn't caught up with Samsung.Īnd of course, VR on iPhone 8 negates any other display advantages, like 3D touch. If you got a new iPhone XS Max, then you've got a 6.5 Super Retina HD display with a 2,688 x 1,242, 458ppi screen. The Samsung Galaxy S8, which is the current premier choice for driving the Gear VR platform, sports a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED, 2,960 x 1,440, 570ppi screen. The bigger those lines are, and the further apart the diodes, the more the screen door effect becomes noticeable. The “screen door” effect comes from the VR lenses magnifying the display, which reveals the lines between the LED components on the display board. Watch this video from HTC and Valve to get a better sense of what VR is like on a high-end platform and how it differs from what you may have already experienced on an iPhone. In full-blown VR, like that delivered on the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, there is a sense of space that fools the brain entirely into believing it is somewhere else, with all modes of movement available (until you start to trip over the cord that tethers the headset to the high-end PC). It is difficult to describe in words what real VR is, but perhaps the best explanation is its feels like reality. Some iPhone VR game apps appear more interactive, but they remain essentially guided rather than immersive, with participants unable to create their own paths. A viewer can look around, but cannot interact beyond navigating from place to place by staring at a spot long enough. While some games exist that provide limited interactivity, iPhone VR is essentially flat. Virtual reality on the iPhone is really a semi-immersive 360-degree experience that is relatively passive in nature. Virtual reality is a completely immersive experience in which people can walk around, or at least navigate along all planes, able to look at objects from all sides, even from above if they choose to fly, while wearing a VR headset.
