iPhone 16 Pro Max Screen brightness on 16 Pro/Max [MERGED]

I'm undecided whether to return it or not. What do you guys think of this? I couldn't prevent the rainbow effect, ignore it-if possible.

I assume that rainbow effect is all due to the screen protector, right?

Yes.

Here some other picsThis is my unit from early October 24.

It’s not 100% even, better IRL than in photo but I’m ok with it.

In the second picture a comparison with a very good 13pm panel.

Both are Samsung panels, in real life the 16 pro max looks whiter and crispier.

Here some other pics from off axis

Looks awesome. ( for an iPhone screen that is ) 🤣

I remember with some of the 13PM and 12PM screens in a dark room with low brightness and a 5% gray background one could see the areas of magenta showing as darker areas. Remember that ?

I remember the 13 PM issue and it was so bad that it was visibly magenta at night looking at Settings in dark mode, I didn’t even need to look at a 5% gray screen. I was actually in touch with someone at Apple who was collecting my returns to send to engineering.

The years of the 12 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max drove me crazy. Here are some photos from my “gallery of horrors”… guess which one is the 12 and which one is the 13.

Yeah. Those days , going into dark cupboards to check robot on the screen with low brightness and a subject background 🤣. The 12 must be the green tint.
