No that’s pure BS. Me and my brother both have F2 and it’s pretty close to X screen when I compared with just slight warmness but not enough to call it yellow. Don’t waste your time trying to get those serial numbers lol.
Its crazy in 2018 this is still an issue even now holding the max the top half is nice and white and keybaord yellow cos of way im holding it, im starting to really hate oled
If I were you, I would return/rebuy a couple of times before the return window is up. If you're outside of the return period, they most likely will say "it's within expected production variance" and you'll be stuck with it.
Have to agree here, I've seen no evidence over the years that factory hunting has produced better results. It's luck of the draw/dependent of the batch of screens that were being used on a particular run. Factory independent.

What do you mean here? I am in the same position but bought the phone from the apple store. The pink tint on my XS comes through with the slightest angle tilt and it's annoying the hell out of me. Do I return it and rebuy or exchange it?
It's the exact same thing. If you ask for an "Exchange" they will bring the other phone out, then return your original phone and charge you separately for the new one. An exchange is a return and rebuy. In the process, NEXT eligibility is reset.
Know that after about 3-4 of these, ATT shuts auto reset down, and Apple has to call them to get it reset. Can get annoying. So if your second one sucks, I recommend returning it and waiting 6 weeks for another batch.
Really no point doing a wild goose chase with serial numbers. It's a lottery no matter the number.
I turned the phone brightness all the way up and no true tone was present. I even asked the Apple rep and she said my phone clearly had the better screen. Luck of the draw I guess
Jeez man
Reset eligibility for the upgrade. Enable you to do NEXT again. Make the old phone installment plan go away. Become like you never bought the first phone to begin with.
Hope that clears it up
Every phone on display has not as high brightness evem if you set it, the brightness isnt th issue its the horrible tone of diaplay
Well my whites were far more superior than the display. Rep said my phone was definitely whiter
Either you got a good one or they haven't swapped out the display models to the correct temp ones yet. Usually any dingy display model gets swapped within the first 2 weeks.
if it is, and you don't like it, you should return it. If it doesn't bother you, you should keep it. If you are just saying that because you think we are trying to say ALL XS screens are yellow, you haven't read the thread nor comprehended what we are talking about here. No one is saying all screens are yellow.
Well I am really unlucky this time
First one , factory FK, gradient from left to right and when tilted left side goes blue and right side goes pink
Second one, F2, gradient from top to bottom with top bluish and bottom yellowish. Tilting goes blue with no pink
I am fairly convinced seeing the store ones were not great that this crop of panels vary too much.

Haven’t read through the entire thread, but has everyone turned off True Tone? Mine was canary yellow. Wasn’t happy. Then I started poking around and turned off True Tone. Now the screen looks great
