I was thinking more about a possible X plus. The top right corner would be a quite a bit further away. It'll be interesting to see how they manage it.
Got a tip for us?

They are all the same all the shop ones was darker and nore yellow this oled is terrible
Please keep us posted. I'll definitely switch it out if there's possibility of getting non yellow screen.
Been missing around with mine. So far with true tone on it does give it almost night shift yellow tent. With it off it does have a slight warm but with true whites. laying beside an S8 it looks little blue while the s8 looks little red. I can live with this
^^ I think that this is the case for most of us here, other than the uneven tint on the bottom for some.
There’s plenty in the store though that are actually normal and don’t have this yellow defect going on.
I’m shooting to Apple in an hour to take a hard look at the 8plus. Customer was just in my restaurant with a space gray x and his screen had no color change when looked at from head on or the sides, and was pretty much spot on.
I refuse to deal with a stomach ache and going back and fourth with the Genius Bar, for which I wouldn’t want a white box replacement, I’d want a fresh new phone out of the box, which Apple doesn’t seem to have a supply of.

Not all of them at the apple store are like this though. Some of them are perfect crisp whites like it’s supposed to be.
For some reason all my store ones was darker but in the apple store light its hard to tell the yellow tint its when im in darker light i notice it, i really thought after all the years of uneven screen quality this iphone would have perfect screen but wow i was wrong
Mine has the same yellow issue with TrueTone on – but I guess you can at least turn it off.
Worse though, mine is pinkish at the edges and the top, and seems to go through a pink shift before it gets to the blue shift, which starts just a couple of degrees off axis. I could handle the blue as it's way off axis, but the pink phase is appalling.
I've seen some in-store that look as bad as this one, and I've seen a couple that look worse. But I've also seen some that look perfect with no pink edging or pink shift. So I guess it's likely any replacement I get will be just as bad as this one.
Trying to get an exchange but it's much trickier in New Zealand, as we don't have any Apple stores. Sigh.

Hypothesis: Samsung couldn't make enough good screens so Apple lowered the requested specs.
I’m still confused to what people are seeing? I have two X’s and with TT off, they are crisp blue left, right, up and down.
Mine is the same - pink, then blue. Do you see any darker areas when you full-screen this image and zoom it to get rid of the text (ie, just make the dark grey a full-screen background)? The whole left hand side of mine looks a touch darker/redder than the right. Much worse with True Tone on than off.
You won the panel lottery. Be happy and avoid threads like this (no sarcasm).
You don't know what you are talking about! I keep seeing you all over MacRumors. What's your point? LOL
FYI, you need to turn off Auto Brightness on the X in order to be able to see what this screen is capable of. It has been moved to General/Accessibility/Display Accommodations. Now try that and show me a pic of the X screen next to any other non-OLED iPhone. They all look archaic compared to the X.

Try turning off Auto Brightness. It's under General/Accessibility/ Display Accommodations. See if it helps
It's not recommended to switch off autobrightness on this phone so what's your point? Plenty of people have seen in the flesh multiple devices which exhibit differences in colour tone. Who are you to doubt them?
Your screen may..but not everyone’s. Ever think for a second apple screwed up a large quantity of phones?
Turning auto brightness off does nothing. The screen is still yellow with it on or off. There are defective screens out there. My whites are all types of different colors, but mostly a nasty yellow hue.
The sides are pinkish. Screen straight on is very muddied yellow, and it gradients from top to bottom from yellow to blue.
This is not normal I’ve owned multiple LED phones.
no help when turn off auto brightness. Only if changing the color tint will help a bit. I think it is a defect, why the regular screen color is yellow.
To avoid confusion, they are crisp white beacause TT is off right? Or they are still white with TT on?
Then it's bad for real. My X screen looks fantastic next to my old 6S Plus and my friend's 8 Plus. With Auto Brightness off the X blows both phones out of the water and makes them look very outdated.
