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

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.

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.

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

I’m so glad I avoided the problematic models this year by chance

It seems PM >> 17 >> Air from most annoying to least of the lotto, right? And 17 pro generally pretty good.

Obviously will be outliers in all cases but

I’m still yet to see anything other than a G9N in the non-max Pro
 
Hey! I have very strange problem with tinting. It can be bug? What do you know about it? youtube.com/shorts/qGKQcBACOG8?si=6LbtKHi7C4zzNcfW like this




 
When I see a photo or video for a second and go out, it can become normal for about 20 seconds and then return to that state again. I've never had this happen in six months.

You can check that here, I've added a section of my own in addition to the original thread here

Let see what screens you guys have.

I have a LG screen (GVC) on my 17 pro max and has a bad case of screen (green) tinting when moving the bottom of the screen away from my face. Also it has a greenish tint overall when facing straight to my face.
It could be because my 13 pro max is 4 years old and has cumulative 1000’s of hours of screen on time (blue pixels degrade the fastest and red will be more dominant). Colours look somewhat washed out too. Coming from a 13 pro max, which had a perfect screen with better colours, it’s a little disappointing.

Is the lottery a thing again with this generation?

copy / pasted the following from reddit and worked for me:

“For those wondering how to check your display manufacturer...

You can run sysdiagnose on your phone (press volume up, volume down, and lock button) all together for around a second. You will feel the phone vibrate.

Wait a couple of minutes and then go to Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Analytics and Improvements -> Analytics Data.

You will then scroll down and look for a file titled: sysdiagnose_XXXXXXXX.

You will click on that file and then click the arrow in the upper right hand corner and scroll down and click “Save to Files” Once it is saved you will go into your files and click the file to unpack it.

Within the folder that is unpacked you will click on the folder “ioreg” and then click the file “IODeviceTree”.

You will then use the magnifying search glass in the bottom right hand corner to search “raw-panel”. It will then give you a serial number.

I have an LG display which has the beginning letters of GH3.

GVC is the best of the LG panels but not as good as Samsung’s best which is the G9N.

The top 3 panels are:

• Samsung G9N • Samsung G9Q • LG GVC

The worst panel is LG GH3.”

There is an easier method that doesn't rely on using the power and volume buttons.

Settings --> Accessibility --> Touch --> toggle on AssistiveTouch --> A white dot will appear

under the sub-heading "Custom Actions" in the same menu, you will see "single-tap", "double-tap", click on single or double tap and change it from it's default to analytics (I like to use single touch) from the list. When you single tap or double tap on the white dot that appeared before, a message will appear on the top of the screen that it's gathering analytical info.

After it's finished gathering information, go to settings --> Privacy & Security --> Analytics & Improvements --> Analytics then obtain the sysdiagnose_XXXXXXXX file and proceed as in the previous tutorial

Hope this makes it easier for everyone
