iPhone 12 Pro Yellow Screen/Tint? Display seem "Warm"? Check here first!

I just received my iPhone 12 Pro Max and I notice the yellow cast/tint is very glaring, it's like some one pissed on my screen. I can't find the perfect filter settings to get pure white which is frustrating either. Hopefully I can get used to this yellow screen...

If you
just turned on TT it’s normal. It will get okay. Trust me.

I am Japanese living in Japan.
I bought an iphone12pm on the day of release.
Mine also had a yellow screen.
When I'm watching a video, the black background blinks green.
I had it replaced last week and nothing has changed.
I don't know what to do other than cry.

This theory has been floated and debunked many times in this thread, including in the updated op.

Apple didn’t “make them warmer”. Apple doesn’t calibrate or make these displays. They gave specs to their supplier and those specs were way relaxed this year.

its way cheaper to make a screen with yellow film than to make a correct screen. Samsung is dumping its crap panels on Apple and Apple is allowing it.

we know there are good screens out there. So to believe that Apple is doing this intentionally is to believe the correct screens are defects. I don’t buy that.

btw people say this every year. That the yellow film is intentional. And every year good screens return roughly 6 weeks after launch. In the next two-four weeks we should see more correct screens.

Apple allows the dumping of these screens cause consumers don’t seem to care. Show them you won’t stand for it.

remember even 3rd party cheap replacement screens from an iPhone repair shop on the side of the road don’t allow for this poor qc. You will never find a replacement screen that has these issues. Think about that.

Sorry but the more you are posting In this thread here the more it feels you must be on a crusade against apple or something. Do you have any proof of what you are saying here? Has something of a conspiracy in my eyes. I’m far away from being an apple friend or whatever but it‘s annoying to read. Just my 2 cents.

His theory seems spot on. It’s just relaxed QC. Not a defect.

I agree. Being a regular consumer of Apple news, including visiting this and many other dedicated sites, I have never seen any type of "1st batch green/yellow screen tint" news on any other iPhone generation release.

If this is widespread enough, Apple will fix it. I say this as someone who had the microphone issue on the 7, and the "phantom touch" issue on the X. Both times Apple stepped up and fixed it. Again, hopefully this is just a simple software calibration issue, but Apple has certainly offered replacement parts, screens, etc. at no cost to most users before.

Nah dog I just understand corporations, especially tech corps. Apples not out to get you they just do what they can get away with. And my proof is that this exact thing has happened every year for 10 years straight.

Not really. Both programs were time bound and affected a small number of units. This affects almost all 12 series iPhones ever sold.

What proof do you have that this is affecting "almost all" iPhone 12s? And if this problem is indeed larger than the 7 and X problems, why would Apple not issue a fix?

I would assume any hardware fix would be time bound and/or model bound. Apple issued the MacBook keyboard fix for models going all the way back to 2015. (Of which I also had a repair done... sensing a pattern here with my purchases, lol.)

If you can’t understand from this thread, you probably can’t understand at all.

It will need a recall of all iPhones. Apple won’t do that.

Well we've already established that most people aren't going to notice or care about the issues. If Apple quietly started a screen replacement program like they did with the iPhone 6 battery replacement program, that would serve the purpose of resolving the issue for those that notice and care, as well as avoiding lawsuits because they addressed the problem for free. Most people don't know about their recall/replacement programs.

Correct. But this is too widespread.
