These options don’t help at all. They just put a blue layer on top everything. But you can STILL see the yellow. I think they completely screwed up the white point during calibration on tons of models.
Got a tip for us?

I dont even wanna try keep swapping for a new one as they all will have this issue its a shame we cant config the white balance
How many have you tried to swap? I tried to goto the store myself, some of the floor models were perfect. Some looked like mine. This is ******** that’s it’s basically hit or miss.
Not what I wanted to read regarding some floor models looking crisp white. Did you check if they had auto brightness on/off and same for true tone? I'm assuming they were 100% on brightness?
If I turn night shift on and leave it at the lowest less warm setting, my screen looks EXACTLY the same when i turn it off. It’s crazy how screwed up this screen really is. I want a replacement but I don’t want to play the lottery of them opening another phone and getting the same damn issue.

I matched all the settings across all the devices to include mine. Some models looked nasty yellow like mine. Some looked amazing, perfect whites like an OLED should. I say it was 50/50.

That is absolutely how I feel. It’s a nice phone, but with the tint it’s not £1000 nice. I will probably return.
I think apple need to just add a white point slidder like warm to blue and let us choose the white balance all they do is add night mode and true tone all garbage that made it yellow i want white to be pure white and my lg oled tv has amazing white and black levels
Can someone with some more technical knowledge answer this:
I have placed the 'hue' slider around the same spot as the op but have been experimenting with leaving the intensity up a little bit as well (1st fifth). This seemed to reduce the yellow tint even further. Can someone expand on why the recommended setting is to have intensity all the way down. What are the advantages/disadvantages of leaving some intensity on? I realize this may be somewhat subjective.

I have my intensity up a little. Screen appears a little cooler this way, which I prefer.

We need to petition Apple to put in a white point adjustment in the iPhone. They have one in MacOS, no reason we cant have one in iOS.
This doesn’t solve the problem it just blue tints everything. It’s horrendous looking compared to what an actual good screen is supposed to look like.
Man, that’d be great. With a display this advanced, such a pity we can’t tweak it more......
Do all the phones change to a blue tint when tilted? It’s absoluetly horrible. I can see if it was just when I looked at it from a sharp angle but I get tint changes just slightly moving it back and forth while in my hand, reaching for something. It’s messing with my eyes. I don’t always have my phone straight flat in front of my face. One slight tilt and it’s off.
Should I try to exchange? Or is this just how it is?

I went to an Apple Store this evening and every display model changed to a blue tint off axis (and I looked at literally all of them), just like my X does. The change happens fairly quickly off axis, too. I’ve experienced this on Samsung phones I’ve played around with as well. Nature of small OLED displays, unfortunately.
Yeah but unfortunately most of the floor models also had this yellow hue issue.
But some of the models looked spectacular with perfect whites.
My Space Grey iPhone X is having a pink tint practically all around the contour of the screen when I incline it vertically for about 20 degrees. It's quite annoying and all the demos in my local Apple Store were presenting the same problem ( maybe it is not a problem ? ) minus one who was perfect no matter the angle. i think this is a defect but if I want a perfect one, it's like to play lottery. Hope Apple resolves this problem.
Ive had a Note 5 & 8, S7 edge, and a regular S7 and none of them had a color shift as dramatic as the X. I'm playing with the Note 8 now, and the shift is almost impossible to see

Mine sucks too. Cant even shift the phone a little in my hand without the screen changing color.
This was kind of posted before, but I wanted to add on to the info about the options in Color Filters.
There are a few ways to adjust the color of the screen.
General>Accessibility>Display Accommodations>Color Filters
- You have 5 options to adjust the color. Since a lot of the problem is between the Yellow-Blue tones, try adjusting based on the Blue/Yellow filter (4) instead of the Color Tint (5) filter. See attached thumbnails.
I know this isn’t true calibration, but it may help some of you who just need a color adjustment.
One more thing:
You will find the Reduce White Point slider under General>Accessibility>Display Accommodations
Note: This is on my iPad Air 2 (not perfect), so you’ll have to find what works best for you.
Can’t help on the off axis color changes issues.
I returned my iPhone X as well. For $1,250.00 this screen should “pop” and be amazing. It’s isn’t. At least for me.
