OLED screens do not require back lighting so they're more energy
efficient, provide true blacks and have a wider viewing angle. This will
help with battery life and low vision users may appreciate the better
contrast. OLED's are also thinner then LCD's, allowing companies to make
thinner phones or using that space for something like a slightly thicker
battery. Finally, OLED screens are flexible so the screen can wrap
around a bit. This will give a slightly larger screen in a slightly
smaller foot print. Blind people may appreciate this since their sighted
friends will get a larger screen, that they'll appreciate, while the
blind users who don't prefer a larger screen, will get the benefits of a
smaller footprint. This flexibility will also allow for foldable
displays and phones in the near future, again, something blind users may
appreciate. https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/what-is-oled-3285263

The OLED screen offers advantages to those with some vision, but none
for the totally blind, except that the battery life should be better
if you turn screen curtain on and turn the brightness down to zero.
Screen curtain never has affected battery life in the LCD models of
course, but I seem to recall hearing this discussion last year where
somebody pointed out that with OLED, it should.

Does an OLED screen provide any benefits for blind folks?
If not, it sounds like the XR, with a different screen would suffice,
unless you want the better camera. Does anyone know how the camera on
XR compares to earlier iPhone models?
Thanks, Keith
