Why doesn’t it work as well on a mobile phone though? Especially since an iPhone has better color reproduction than most desktop monitors.

I think it may also depend on the subpixel geometry[0][1] (and pixel density) of the screen. There are a lot of ways to arrange subpixels.

This hurt my eyes more than any image I've ever looked at -- desktop monitor. Ow.

Is it because you're viewing it at a different distance (phone usually closer than monitor) and therefore the focusing variation is different?

Worked for me on my iPhone 6s+, though not as strong as OP described. Maybe LCD vs OLED?
