#2Does anyone know if there is a way in iOS to apply a color profile to the display? Even if the displays are well-calibrated for accuracy out of the box, there are other reasons to mess with the color rendering (colorblind users, etc.).

#3I like how detailed AnandTech analysis are. Good to see that they persist.

i'm only aware of methods that require jailbreaking your ios device (eg, the f.lux app can be installed via cydia).
Would love a non jailbroken approach myself though!

#5Also see http://prometheus.med.utah.edu/~bwjones/2012/09/iphone-5-dis... that shows the boost in saturation even more clearly.
Though, I'm not sure if it's such a good thing (might be a little too saturated for all I know, but probably isn't).

#6What I'd like to see is this exact analysis done to the S III, even just to have some no bullshit data when the 'my phone is better than your phone' comes up again.

#7I don't see the point of submitting this to HN. It isn't a review of all high-end device displays, or something else generic like that.

#8I'm not sure I crave for sRGB gamut and perfect color accuracy in a smartphone. Isn't more important that it has eye-popping contrast? When was the last time you needed sRGB and compare that to how often you look at the phone with a lot of ambient light or possibly reflections. It seems that Nokia here is much more focused on the relevant innovation here:

And therefore no one will find it interesting? I'm not that interested so I didn't upvote the article but I don't see any problem with others voting it up and me seeing a link to the article on HN.

Talking purely from a consumer perspective, you want to argue that one phone reproduces accurately the full RGB spectrum and another blows it out of proportion and that makes one phone better? Isn't that a matter of subjective taste? How does that make one phone better than another? For eg. I may like to turn the color all the way up on my TV. That doesn't mean my TV's picture is objectively bad or the other way around.
