Other Here we go again, yellow tint Xs /Xs Max

It looks cooler at the bottom because the screen at the bottom is angled away from the camera....you can tell because the bottom edges look smaller. And the myth continues.........
The big question is.... if you don't compare your XS(Max) screen with other devices, are you happy with it?
As I posted before, I have TT on for days now and I can't really tell the difference any more. With TT off it now even seems too blueish for my liking. Although I must admit having TT + night shift on makes the screen look EXTREMELY yellow haha.
Plus: I discovered dust under the camera lens glass, which doesn't seem to affect photo quality however.

I don't use nightshift on my Max, and when I did I had it dialled way down as the default looks like someone smoked 60 a day over my screen
Yeah, someone comes to this conclusion around this time every year, including last year with the X. I promise better screens will arrive by end of year.
To be fair, apple display units used to give people hope... they’re all yellow this go around.
Has anyone gone into Apple and got a replacement phone just on the screen being not uniform?
I'm outside my 14 day return period.

You don't need replacement, this screen is fine...that's what oled looks like.
Yes, you can swap your phone or return it for any reason. However you are past your 15* day return period. So they might end up swapping your device with a refurbished model (although it might still be too early), if your devicd really has a display issue.
wow mine looks like yours keep it the screen lottery is a pain in the backside.My screen is slightly yellow, but not is bad.

My third replacement from Apple uk this one a keeper.
I hit the jackpot again after three tries.
First phone was yellow screen even with true tone off and sharp and rough edges with gaps with glue hanging out and dust entering the bands between the screen. (September build week 37)
Second phone came with the most horrible yellow piss screen and dust under camera lens better build quality.(September build week 37)
Third phone came this morning nice white screen matches my iphone X brightness no dust under camera lens/no dead pixels and no rough edges with no gaps nice screen even with true tone on build quality perfect. (October build week 39).
Good luck everyone don't give up Apple uk online customer service did try and fob me off to the genius bar twice told them over the phone no not getting a white box replacement.

The only pictures to show uniformity have to be taken absolutely front on to the phone with no angle. It looks like you have the new standard this year. A bit pinkish towards the top. I saw so many like this particularly on full brightness for some reason. Today a colleague insisted his was uniform. It wasn’t. Just some people can’t see it. Our sensitivity to subtle shade changes vary enormously from person to person. Quickly shifting eyes from the top of the screen to the bottom allows some to see it.
That the best screen I seen so far after checking two Apple stores and my local o2 store they are all yellow.My screen is slightly yellow, but not is bad.

How do you find out what build week a phone is? I’m happy for you! I went to AT&T today and they thought I was crazy and that my screen was fine and to basically goto Apple.
Use this website http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html enter your serial number do you have a backup old phone like a iPhone X,8 or even 7 compare the two next to your MAX at the AT&T store/Apple store.
That will shut them up they cannot fob you off saying that device is within spec bs.
Do you know what the spec is? No, so can't really be able to say this. You can say it's different, sure, you can say you don't like it, sure, but you can't really say it's not within spec

Thank you. Mine is production week 37 also.
My Day One Max is week 35
I did bring in my 7+ to show them
And compare. They insisted it must be my screen protector, I told them no it’s not and even took it off. They were not helpful at all. Regardless, to swap or return they wanted another $45 restocking fee. So I’m hoping maybe eventually I can goto the apple store and get one with a cooler screen... I can’t say that I’ve seen a cooler display anywhere that I’ve looked at them yet.
Hello,
Guys exchanged 4 iPhone XS Max 512gb this week at Leeds Apple store.
What is going on with this year XS Max yellow screen display my old iPhone 8 and iPhone X both looks so much better much whiter not like horrible yellow colour.
The Apple store staff thinks I'm crazy for complaining about the screen issues and opening up four retail boxes.
I will complain after paying £1449 in cash these things are not cheap.
At the end I did get one which has nice white colour screen not as yellow as the other 4 devices.

Has anyone noticed that even with True Tone off different environments and lighting effect how the the yellow tint is displayed on the phone? Or am I crazy as I swear sometimes it seems more white , and others more yellow. Seems to be worse when I am in a pitch black room at night.

when i talked to a tech rep they said they calibrated the screens warmers...so this is something that can be fixed software side...if its true.

I too believe that the temperature of the screen changes a little even when TT and auto-brightness are off.
The issue here is the wide variances among the XSes. There is not a single standard calibration. For all we know, those cooler ones are the ones “defective”. Lol.

Yes, I think this happens to a certain degree with LCD screens in older iPhones as well, even without TT.
