I just noticed it tooIt looks like bigger displays, Xs Max and Pro Max, suffer more from uniformity than smaller models, correct?
Thank you very much! You are a wizard!Good solution. I will try this! Because the yellow tint on the Pro Max is distracting

So here’s my story. I received the 256 iPhone 11 Pro Max yesterday. Before opening, I went to the Apple store in woodcliff lake, nj to see how I’d like it in case I wanted to return it.
Most iPhone 11 pro max phones had some yellowing. I looked closely at 5 of them. I compared them to each other and the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 pro (2 of each). I also, of course, compared them to my XS Max.
3 of the 5 iPhone 11 pro Max phones were excellent. Bright and white. The other two horrible.
I called a customer service guy over, Lucas, and showed him the difference. He had no idea what was up.
Here’s what might help everybody. I went home, opened mine, set it up - and it was HORRIBLE. Photos yellow, internet pages yellow, emails yellow...
Obviously a return. Until I did this...
Went to Accessabilites. Toggled Auto Brightness off and back on 4-5 times. Left it OFF.
Then, plugged phone in to charge to get battery to 100%. As it was charging, I went to TRU TONE and turned it OFF. Put phone down and walked away for around 20 minutes.
Came back to phone and turned AUTO BRIGHTNESS back ON.
Turned True Tone back on.
Left phone to get to 100% charge.
Unplugged phone, and BAM. Screen is beautiful. Now even whiter than my iPhone XS Max.
This is amazing. I’m now keeping the phone.
To be clear - I have been comparing to my old phone all night. It started off yellow and dingy. It is now perfect white wear it should be.
I don’t know how it happened. But I’m glad it did.
do you know which factory and production date actually have good screens? Because it almost looks like every phone has the yellow tint issue.This is maybe factory and production date dependent.
Example:
s/n: FK1ZKxxxxxxxx
FK1 --> Factory: China, Zhengzhou - Foxconn
ZK --> Week: 42 (14.10 - 20.10)
I have solace in knowing that most of the new 11 pro Max’s have this issue. At the end of the day it will not be undervalued when it comes time to sell or trade 🙃do you know which factory and production date actually have good screens?

This is true. At this point it appears to be an unfortunate and unappealing, often repugnant (to some) side effect of the sourced oled panels or apples own inconsistent calibration processI have solace in knowing that most of the new 11 pro Max’s have this issue.

Don’t like the yellow tint? Turn TT off. Done. I complained about the yellow tint originally but text turns out harsher on the eyes, but they are your eyes.
How do you know for sure they are cherry picked?For some (my original included) yellowing is persistent with TT already off.
Also, displaymate, as with many industry sites receive cherry picked devices for review/testing. It’s taken me a while but I’ve gradually come round to the sheer volume of manipulation in industry journalism. I tend to avoid heavily sponsored tech media in general and find forum & anecdotal discussion far more relatable.
It’s not difficult to find plenty of discussion on DM in particular and cherry picked devices but off the top of my head there was an AMA a year or so back on reddit where one of the site contributors explained the need for sponsorship and a trade off is that while they mostly purchase the devices they test, they also could not control on occasions where devices are sent to them and if those devices are consumer variant or hand selected for review purpose.How do you know for sure they are cherry picked?

Solely based on the volume of devices they test I think it a perfectly reasonable assumption that they in fact welcome sponsorship association from manufacturers.
I understand that you like advice and opinions from actual users but you can’t throw away all that testing that DisplayMate did and say that it’s sponsored stuff

I think they said that the current Samsung panels have even more blue light filter. I noticed more yellowing on the s10+ OLED panels from previous generations .I also tend to think the 11pro's have been calibrated warmer this year. I went to numerous stores and compared xs's to pro's and all the pros had warmer displays. Almost to the point where a pro with true tone off was actually pretty close to a xs with true tone on..
I was really obsessing over it.
With that said I have now owned my 11pro for a month and I am now at the point where I think I prefer the warm tone. If I turn true tone of(which is still much warmer than xs with true tone on) I now think it looks awful.
The 11 Pro screen is perfectly uniform and 5%grey looks perfect.
I now find myselft messing with the colortone on my ipad to make it warmer...hmmmm
It’s normal to have the yellow tint since last years phones. It’s not new to 11Pro line.
DisplayMate altready deemed it an amazing display. No joke, it was thoroughly tested.

Here’s a reminder of last years phones. Read the thread, notice any similarities?

I check for backlight bleed so I don’t have any black crush and if I don’t have any, the phone is good to go.

Others phone companies use different tint like bluish or pinkish to color filter the light.
Yeah mine is exactly the same. At least it is 100% uniform. I have yet to see a pro without the yellow tint.
