I replaced my iPhone screen (at a Staples office supply store) and the new screen was polarized such that it was dark when viewed (in portrait orientation) through my polarized sunglasses. Very frustrating that I had to either look over my sunglasses or rotate the phone to use it. Apple's screens appear to have some slight polarization but it is cleverly at a diagonal to both portrait and landscape orientation. Details matter.

I used to notice this in my iPhone4S when I had my polarized lenses on. https://appleinsider.com/articles/11/05/26/apple_exploring_improved_outdoor_lcd_viewing_with_sunglasses_friendly_screens https://appleinsider.com/articles/11/05/26/apple_exploring_i...
- tajen 9y agoI had a Samsung A5: It was polarized-dark under sunglasses like you say. I just thought Apple was an improvement.
