Screens are never the same, it may look a little yellowish because you are used to the extreme blue tint of older iPhone displays.

Xr is looking better and better. Maybe the oled screens will be more refined next year.

LCD iPhone screens suffer from the same issues and even worse.

Look in the archives.

Hundreds of threads on ‘yellow’ screens since forever. This isn’t new to OLED in iPhones.

Color shift at an angle can be considered as an OLED only problem at this point.

Yes, LCD iPhones do that also, but the issue has been very well mitigated for years now.

For example the X, which I did return, when viewed at an angle simultaneously displayd two tones of white. The problem is very distracting in a mostly bright/white OS.

My X was too yellow for me when I first got it last year even with True Tone off but got it to my liking by playing with the display accommodations. I suspect I will set my Max later today the same way when I get it as I tend to like a cooler screen.

I think its not a problem when the whole screen has the same color.

But on mine you can see a gradient (from yellow to white) from the bottom screen to the top screen.

Yes once again there is a adhesive on the screen that is drying that is causing this. this will fix itself.

It's just different, not broken. The complainer is probably using a monitor or older Apple device with a lot more blue in it.

Break your car's windshield and get the non-OEM replacement glass that your insurance will cover, and you'll see things a whole new way for about a week ... then after that, it will seem normal, or normal enough.

I'm getting to the age where it's usually my eyes, not the world, that is the problem.

I have a problem with the iPhone XS Max display. I have turned off TrueTone but white is yellow on my screen.

When I look 45 degrees onto zhe display I have perfect colors. White is pur white. When I move it slightly a few millimeters the colors are changing.

But when I hold it normally I have a yellowish screen. Is it normal for OLED screens or is my screen defective?

While I agree that this is a characteristic of OLED, but not all OLED are created equal. Didnt LG make these panels? Sure hope not. Their phone screens are trash, literally. Remember the Pixel 2 XL debacle?
