Is your true tone set to off? Then General, accessibility, display accommodations on, color filters on, color tint checked, intensity at the lowest setting, and hue at about 2/3?
Got a tip for us?

Can you please share your calibrated settings?
Have you just changed the hue, or the rest of the colors also?
TT on or off?
That is very likely it, seems to help many here.
I've also noticed the "yellow hue" will vary based on display brightness. Stock out of the box with TT off mine is a tiny bit yellow on about 1/4 brightness but cranked up to 3/4 to full looks perfectly normal.
Lol, this thread is opened EVERY SINGLE YEAR. I remember panicking over my 6s Plus as the screen was soooo yellow compared to any 6 Plus. I decided not to bother about it and got used to it. And guess what? Magically after a few months I compared it again to some 6 and the screen didn’t look yellow anymore. Same thing happened to me with the 7 Plus. I’m not sure why, but it seems like after a while the screen adjusts its colours.
My iPhone X display looks amazing with True Tone disabled. I’ll enable True Tone in a couple of months or so to check if it will be less yellow. The shift problem is there, but that seems to affect all OLED display, and honestly doesn’t bother me. I don’t look at my phone from an angle.

The bold is a good description of characteristics of a unit one may not be able to put up with. Not all do that I got one that does one that doesn’t
Both have tint shift off axis to blue but that’s to be expected

First thing I did was calibrate my screen and it’s looked awesome ever since. Not that it wasn’t good before, but like you say Apple did what they thought best, but we all have different ideas on how our screen should look.
Maybe people think you shouldn’t have to, I personally don’t agree. When I buy a new TV I don’t leave it on the god awful dynamic setting it defaults to. I get in there and set it up properly. So I don’t see why I wouldn’t do the same with any other screen, on any other device I own.
They look better.. and adds a little more depth in my opinion.. it’s weird.. but it may just be the OLED.. the blacks looks crisper and the white is whiter.. colors look better personally...
after changing the settings and then going back. You won’t have it set to the default ever again..
I tried your settings. Does it look a tad Blue, cooler to you?

With true tone off.. what is the slider set to?
Not all displays look like this but this is a great photo of the ones that can be problematic to observant people
This. Everyone complaining needs to try the texhnarchy settings and the others posted after. Scroll back a few pages. Gigapocket would you mind posting your settings here as a handy guide to others and so I can make sure I haven’t missed anything ?
It’s a night and day difference guys. The changes are that stark. Try it before returning
The hue slider is shown in the first pic i posted a view posts ago

I quoted my post with the pics of all my settings. True Tone is off! Reduce white point is off... have brightness on max when tuning your display... that’s what i did

I’m not trying to spam but I do think everyone should see this before writing off their display.
Notice the position of the Hue Slider around blue and purple. That seems to be the sweet spot for most people.
Make sure True Tone is off when calibrating.
Enjoy.
It’s basically the same setting feature Samsung includes on their flagship phones. OLED is not LCD. The contrast and illumination is handled very different than LCD, and it’s jarring if all you’ve stared at for the last 10 years is Apple iPhone LCD displays.
This is the way in looks on my Samsung S8+.

I have an F17
Not happy with the display at all. Viewing this site demonstrates the shortcomings best ironically.
Dead-on it looks very yellow/warm. Just a slight movement turns very blue. I’ve compared this display to my plus, and really prefer that display.
I think I might return it. Get a 7plus for the next year and see what comes next. I love the home gesture though. And it’s super quick. Just can’t live with the tint shift.

After calibrating, do you still leave true tone off?I’m not trying to spam but I do think everyone should see this before writing off their display.

I won't be definetely waiting for sure. What I know is that Face ID, no matter what they say, is more prone to flaws. there are videos proving that twins are not distinguished by Face ID. That does not happen regarding fingerprints, so, this will no be a secure system.
I usually know what suits me and normally do not buy a product with the feeing that I will have to somewhat adjust to some feature, or bare any other.
In this case there are a few features that helped me decide to skip the X: the OLED dsplay, Face ID and the notch.
Aside that, and to anyone that consider the X the perfect phone, just enjoy it.
Not everyone values the same features on a smartphone.
I will be keeping my 8.
I personally leave it off. True Tone works based on ambient light. Most artificial ambient light is sort of yellowish so it makes the display warmer and I don’t like warm displays.
If everything looked like professional studio lights or real sunlight I’d probably leave True Tone on.
