I apologize if I was rude. Sometimes it's hard to understand on someones text. Not sure if I hit the lottery with this phone. It's white and bright but still dingy in certain lighting. It's weird. Right now I'm looking at it and it crisp. But earlier in dark lighting it was a little dingy to me. This whole thing about these oleds are frustrating.
Got a tip for us?

i sat and polished my screen with a micro fiber cloth and inspected the edges for uniformity perfection after you posted this. Lol

if it looks good to you dont worry about it. As long as its not very yellow tint and the whites seem white is all that matters
[doublepost=1539927239][/doublepost]
I feel like the ppl on this thread, including myself, are a small majority of "picky" customers that expect pretty much perfection, lol. In a whole if this was an issue there would have been more reports on it and articles from published sites out on the issue.

They are warmer by a little when compared to the X and alot compared to an LCD iPhone. I havent seen one single instance of it being just as cool as a good LCD model that is a cool screen.

your screen is alot whiter than normal in the pic because of the camera white balance
[QUOTE = "DanPH77, post: 26676456, miembro: 1148138"] comparado con un iPhone LCD será más cálido [/ QUOTE]
Al final, lo único cierto es que es mejor esperar 1 o 2 meses antes de tomar riesgos. O tome la generación anterior que ya está más que pulida. La pantalla amarilla son muchas, finalmente, olvídese, estoy interesado y más importante sobre la cobertura y la velocidad de LTE y Wi-Fi, que parece más serio que esto.

Update guys just taken my fourth replacement iPhone XS Max this morning happy to say this screen is nice hardly any yellow piss colour with True tone on and the best thing is no dents,glue hanging out of the sides,no sharp edges,no marks,no dust under screen and camera lens perfect device at last.
well given that its an S model it is polished and waiting shouldnt be that big of a deal...esp when some ppl got day one iPhones that are good. The speed is garbo compared to the Note 9 apparently.
Apple online store uk they was quite fussy to be honest after your third replacement unit they asked me so much questions kept on trying to force you to your local Apple store genius bar make sure you stand your ground with the 14 days exchange policy.
I will say on the above video that does clean the color up a bit. For me, I honesty prefer the devices factory calibrated the same. With the new iPad pros coming, if they are also more yellow it is likely going to be a theme for apple moving forward.
They can easily set the iPhone XR as the same white point temperature that will appear more warm. But we'll see.
I don't believe OLED's are naturally warmer..

Alright so my experience:
iPhone Xs Max #1 (October 11th, Apple Store Dubai): shifts to blue tint SIGNIFICANTLY at even tilting slightly. Rough edges noticeable. 5th digit in SN was D.
iPhone Xs Max #2: shifts to blue tint (a bit less than 1st one tho). Scratch on the back out of the box. 5th digit in SN was 9.
iPhone Xs Max #3: warm display. 5th digit in SN was D.
iPhone Xs Max #4: display seemed okay but rough edges. 5th digit in SN was D.
iPhone Xs Max #5: stainless steel band out of the box had a scuff (chipped). 5th digit in SN was D.
iPhones #2-5, I kept visiting 2 different stores in Dubai to try my luck. Got tired in the end and just decided to get an Apple gift card and try online after a week or so. This is so f**king frustrating. WHAT IS WRONG WITH APPLE'S QUALITY CONTROL?!?
Also, are rough edges normal for all of you? Because I'm so tired to the point where I don't have energy to go and check display units.

Apple saving cost now on Quality control upto the user to notice these defects.
Well as said many times before that is not a fix...see Android phones have a color temp slider...thats a fix (unless its abnormally warm "yellow") And if that screenshot is not edited that phones screen is way to yellow

lol ok good for you. My comment still stands. You obv dont know what white balance is. Go play around with the camera on your iphone 8 and you will find it. It is on auto...try changing the setting around and watch your screen go to piss yellow to the whites of heaven.
Your welcome for the knowledge
P.S. Here is an example...took the same way you did. One on the right is auto and the left is natural

yes, some units have the bottom 1/3 of the screen with a noticeable yellow tint. it won't go away. if it bothers you, i would just keep returning until you find a replacement. seems reasonable for a $1500 device. High prices, higher expectations should be the norm. There is no other fix other than getting a new phone.
I’m surprised no one’s talking about the dimmer white point on the iPhone XS models, they all have it. It’s dimmer than the iPhone X models.
They all have warmer displays (without True Tone), unless you luck out as they’re hard to find.
And all of the iPhone XS have awful True Tone calibrations, every time I see people post their iPhone XS online I can see how True Tone isn’t properly adapting to their room’s color temperature. This is terrible, we shouldn’t have to disable a feature because they gimped it.

I agree. The TT can be fixed in software...and to an extent so can the color temp. The XS are a little warmer than prev models by majority.
Wow you have a ****** display. Just sayinWell as said many times before that is not a fix...see Android phones have a color temp slider...thats a fix (unless its abnormally warm "yellow") And if that screenshot is not edited that phones screen is way to yellow

Keep up the fight man, only way to get them to drive reform is if it costs more in returns then it does to increase QC
