What we need is a photo, not a screenshot. A screenshot will capture what is in memory, not what the OLED screen shows...
is that what hes trying to do....I had no idea why he would post that screenshot?
Lol what. Looks like you threw a blue filter on there
I’m going to say placebo. I just installed it hoping to see a difference but I don’t think there is. It would cause those that have a cooler screen to go more blue. What they need to do is add a screen calibration menu in settings.
3 XSes here.
1st image: Left: mine (serial: DN). Centre and right: Apple Store show floor sets (mostly C39 or C37).
2nd image: True Tone ON.
There are very very slight variances in most phones.
Mine is just very slightly "pinkish" compared to my iPhone 7, but has better brightness, and sometimes contrast than some of the 10 over show floor sets I compared with. While I'd prefer mine to be the same as my iPhone 7, I don't think it's "bad" enough to warrant a replacement. Bought from telco, and so a return, refund and rebuy option is not possible (in my country/telco).

The fact that you posted a screenshot further confirms to me that you really have no idea what you are talking about.
No, it further confirms that he’s trolling everyone. And then screenshotting it for posterity. To be fair, it’s all been pretty funny, but he’s just trolling.
Me? A screen guy? No idea what you’re talking about...
*cough*
Ok fine. Yes. I got my XS Max on day 1. Screen is great. Really great. As long as True Tone isn’t on, of course.
When I got my X last year I went through three (I lost count - maybe more) grey units that all had green-tinted displays that were awful. Then I got the silver one and it was “perfect.” Coincidence? Hard to say. But a friend of mine in the UK had the same bad luck with grey, and a good one - silver. My wife’s silver X was perfect first try. And her XS silver is also perfect.
So this year I went silver. And it’s great. That same friend bought both a silver and a space grey XS Max this year. SAME issue with the grey one, so he’s keeping the silver.
Coincidence? Possibly. But...
Yours looks pretty good from pictures. Is it on the cooler side next to your 7? I still have my 7+ and I prefer it’s cooler temp my max is too warm next to it.
That’s the best when you had a rough time with previous gen and nail it the next time you’re up to bat! Congrats! It’s a boy!
By green tint on X do you mean this?

My iPhone 7 is slightly cooler than my XS. Would prefer my XS to be like some of the demo units I saw in shops, but am not going into the exchange "lottery".
The camera is so good on this phone and you can't even fully appreciate it with this horrible screen. The screen pushes green/yellow and you can't even tilt the phone more than 5 degrees before seeing blue shift.
I might have to exchange mine. I feel mine is more than slightly warmer.

You know whats funny? I've noticed this over the years as well. Seems like the silver ones have a have a higher likelihood of good screens. I always get black and always notice people with beautiful clear screens on their silver phones.

Haha just saw this gem in the thread you linked. Still true to this day! I posted this in 2011.
