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

My screen is very similar to my X. No issues. It's uniform and I do see color shift when Angleing the display but so did my X. No issues. Very happy so far
Visited AT&T store today and the Max screen demo looked just like my screen. True Tone on and the screen tint changes from warm to blue as you look from straight on to slightly off axis. Appears that OLED screen better than the Pixels but inferior to the Samsungs. I’ll look at a few more of these demo phones in the next few days.
Those that upgraded from the X to the Max, is your display slightly warmer/dimmer than your previous X? Side by side with identical settings, my Max is noticeably different. If it's normal, I suppose I should just stop comparing the two and my eyes will adjust, but not sure if I need to go into an Apple store for replacement. Never had this issue before in the past.
Same goes for the TV world. Most tv manufacturers recommend starting in movie for the picture mode and then tweaking the settings from there. Everyone is used to the cool white look.

Samsung makes the displays for the X and XS/Max
Mine is warmer than my x with tru tone on. Turn tru tone off and my max is very blue which I hate
Mine looks just as bad. You can see my pic earlier. I went to the Apple store and compared it to 5 random displays, all exhibiting the same yellow warm tint. I’ll wait a week to cycle through inventory and attempt an exchange. If no luck, I’ll keep my X.
At the end of the day, you need to be happy with what you have. If warmer is your thing, so be it. I like my whites to be white and my grays to be gray as they should be. My X more or less matches my hardware calibrated monitor, and that is what i want on my Max.
I wouldn't even care about warm versus cool. All I want is uniformity and mine doesn't have it. Pink in the middle, cool on the top and bottom. Too annoying to scroll a white website with this screen.
Samsung OLED phone displays are simply better. The phone I just mailed back to AT&T is the S8+ and the screen doesn’t have color shifting off axis. And same goes for all the other Sammie’s I’ve owned.
Same issue here. Brand new XS and compared to my X (and wife's 8 which I understand is IPS vs OLED), there is a bad yellow tint. Unlike some of the other images in this thread, mine isn't even uniform. Tint gets darker toward the top when looked at straight-on. Will ask for a new retail exchange and if it's a hassle will just return and stick with X.
I always thought this was limited to IPS displays and didn't think OLED was suspectible. Shame.

I got some interesting results toggling night shift on and off. I felt the screen was a bit yellow before night shift kicked in and then I turned it off and felt the colors were right even with True Tone on. It might be just perception and reference points messing with what I see or maybe Apple’s True Tone isn’t spot on in every situation.
You have to remember that lighting and what you compare to can heavily influence what you see. Tons of experiments on how the same shade of gray or white can appear different depending on what color is next to it.

That is ********. All Samsung phone that I own from S8 and beyond have pink tint, and weird shift in color.
The display from iPhone is also manufacture by Samsung. They both exhibit similar issue.
Apple makes Samsung make and calibrate their displays to their specs. So it's an Apple thing here. Cause Apple uses Samsung displays

Ditto. The S8+ I had last year had a pink/red tint around most of the screen.
But this is an Apple issue. Apple tells Samsung how they want the displays made and calibrated
You can still read the words though right?!
You understand what his point was?
Barely. Between incoherent rambling and total disregard for punctuation it was a tough read.
To be fair, none of the articles are able to confirm it as fact.
You clearly havent read those articles. The Verge article says "If the deal goes through".
Do yourself a favor and read.
Well throw yourself a party and be happy you don't have an issue. But don't assume because you've never had an issue that it doesn't exist.
