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

[Kai Hawaii]

seems like there’s a noticeable color and brightness difference, I would prefer the one on the right

Yes, unfortunately my old 14 Pro Max is brighter and the whites are more cool temperature.

My 3 candidates. I kept the one on the right. Left one was decent but shifted red too much. Middle one was piss yellow even with True Tone off. The one on the right shifts blue/green which I prefer to shifting red.

I would have chosen the same. The middle one is probably LG.
The right one is a keeper for sure!

Fun fact the one on the right is LG lol

Not all LGs are bad. I had a smaller storage 16PM before my current one. It was perfectly white, uniform greys and no color shifts. I then found one with higher storage and G9N display. So I switched but I've had a LG screen that was perfect. There are definitely green tint issues with it but really nice LG display do exist.

Fact: LG panels are definitely superior since the last two generations when it comes about their color temperature calibration and overall uniformity.

Is that GH3 on the right?

Yes

Yes

I would go on guessing that Samsung is in the middle and GVC on the left?

Didn’t check the other two tbh, the left one had a bad red shift. And the middle one was not uniform whatsoever brightness wise but I’d have say your probably right

oh wow!

Got a Sky Blue Air 512GB delivered and it has a pristine perfect display with uniform tint and no green tint on angles, I thought those didn't exist on the Air line. So happy that I finally found a keeper! not sure how to check the manufacturer but it must be Samsung or whichever the good one is.

Spoke too soon! lol, it's def not a perfect display as I thought, there's slight vertical color shift when tilting downwards, but not as noticeable as my past Air. Regardless, it's good enough given all the Airs seem to have it.

I got GH3 as well on my 17 Pro Max. I don’t see a lot of viewing angles problems, only when looking from top to bottom, slight green tint, however that the least likely angle to look at the phone.
The phone was produced in July 2025 0.o

That's normal and probably you meant the battery. The battery can be made in July, but you phone assembled in August. My 16 Pro is in August 2024 and my sister's in July 2024. Pretty typical for launch phones.

Yeah, that's the issue we are talking about most of the time.

Anyone getting iPhone Air’s with G9Q in California? Or West Coast region?

 

[BorisDG]

G9Q, I think, was the serial number particularly for LTPS panels and not LTPO. I could be wrong..

The 17 Pro that I just got had June 2025. It's just the battery production date, not the phone itself.
