I’m not a fan of pure black in UI, especially in places where there’s scrolling content. Black smearing on OLED screens looks pretty bad.

What does OLED black smearing look like? In this example, the dark grey square seems to be lagging behind the light grey square, but they’re locked together. (Needs to be viewed on an OLED screen.)pic.twitter.com/WYFEXKAvsG

This is because changing pixels to and from pure black is slower than changing to and from other colours.

Here’s the Processing source code, so you can see they animate together. https://gist.github.com/marcedwards/28da97e26240b048724679b29433221f …pic.twitter.com/ALFBjWQBKw

Developers and designers, please be careful when using pure black with animation and scrolling.

My favourite ‘on device’ demo fo this is to shake the Calculator app back and forth in multitasking; the dark grey circles wobble all over the placepic.twitter.com/BJK0ny5Rg4

Good example.
I’m glad Clocks doesn’t have a pure black background. - 1 more reply

Also demonstrable using a black background and the Apple TV Remote app...serious distortion when wiggled on an OLED screen.pic.twitter.com/J3XQJ4PEzu

Yep! Your demo also shows that I should have made mine wiggle faster. It’s so obvious at that speed.
-
There’s no wrong speed to wiggle!

Ohh ok the screen needs to be dark, I barely could tell what the illustration was until I lowered my screen brightness then wow I saw it big time.

It’s subtle, but once you’ve seen it, it’s easy to find it everywhere (I’m sorry!).

Have Apple done something to mitigate this in iOS 12.1? I just went to show this to a friend and can’t see any difference anymore.
-
Nope. I’m still seeing it in iOS 12.1 here. It’s a hardware issue, so I’m not sure much can be done in software to fix it?

It is even worse with screen brightness turned down, typical for dark theme use at night.

Why is it more noticeable at lower brightness?

I use a solid black home screen background and actually thought this was some crazy masking bug in Springboard.

I would tolerate this for the pure black on OLED.
