You cant really equate the two. The glue thing is wild ass speculation, not backed up by any facts. The screen thing is based on people looking at the screen and seeing a screen that doesn't look right. A yellow screen thread pops up at launch each year, and then about 6-8 weeks later we start seeing much better screens. That repeating pattern is more conclusive than some glue myth.
We'll agree to disagree. I haven't seen any hard facts, data or anything conclusive on either theory. To me it's all speculation that is not reflective of my experiences. YMMV.
Anyway as my issues are resolved I will be moving on from this thread. Good luck to all with piss yellow screen phones. My advice is keep on returning. if you are happy with your display or not sure, stop following this thread and don't look back.
LOL, no there does not go that theory. Your one experience does not equate to anything conclusive.
Keep in mind that not one time has anyone said that ALL launch phones are bad. I've said that the chances of getting a bad screen at launch are MORE LIKELY. That could mean if its a 1% chance normally, its a 2% chance at launch. Or it could be 35%/50%. We don't know. In either case, plenty of chance to still get a good screen at launch.
Yes, I'd love to cite a scientific study on this, but so far no one has tried to do one. I think it'd be a great piece for The Verge to do.
I agree a study would be pretty interesting.
I mean I'm not surprised that panel quality would technically improve over the life of a product as QC becomes more polished. But it's such a variable thing.

It’s always been a lottery for all devices,
Sucks that they cant make a consistent screen on anything
Same with TVs. Portable gaming systems. Everything with a screen.
I wish it were an all or nothing thing like most components
CRT was the last time afaik it was never really a crapshoot or anything
Since LCD onward days, not so much
Even plasmas had variation but I think a lot less so

I think the worst lotteries Ive ever seen for Apple products have been iPad 3 and, sadly, iPhone X
Cant comment on XS/XS Max cause haven’t dabbled.

One person said it in the iOS 12 - Saturated thread, and even then said it could be a placebo.
My second replacement Max XS is piss yellow asked for another replacement this is my third one last one.
My iPhone X last year was so perfect nice true blue screen even with true tone on.
Even my cheap chinese no name phone £100 has a nice blue screen not been funny for £1099 this isn't acceptable at all.

Absolutely no difference whatsoever on mine. In my opinion nothing more than placebo if anyone believes theirs has changed.
You bet. The “glue curing” myth was originally associated with an LCD display. These issues pop up with every model, screen type, and size. Like clockwork.
OMG! iPad 3! I totally forgot what a screen fiasco it was! Those screens were so uneven to the point of disgusting!
I totally agree on the lottery thing and it goes about almost every single Apple product. I’ve never had an iPhone that wasn’t swapped due to that!
Here you are. Two X next to an XS Max. All with same TT settings, max brightness
First one is X 64GB, second X 256GB and third XS MAX 256GB.
All of them look more or less the same to my eye

Your max is a little more warm and colors look washed out like most Xs/Xs Max.
Are you saying the whites will be whiter? I have 2 days to return my XS max and this yellow tint is driving me crazy.
