You had an 11PM with raised blacks? Or just the uneven color that I mentioned?
I'm using DisplayCal with a i1 Display Pro colorimeter. Set it up for sRGB, choost Web@localhost as the display output. Click verification, select simulation profile sRGB, no tone mapping. Then start the test. The window will open and give you a web address. Open Safari on your phone and go to that address. Put the colorimeter on your phone. Click start on the DisplayCal window.
Sorry for my english.
I don’t really understand the reason and the length of this thread. Everybody is complaining about their screen to be yellowish and fuzzy. But if you change hue in accessibility menu and you get your screen perfectly white and sharp, it means that the screen is able to display perfect images. So it’s not a hardware but a software issue about the wrong calibration of the screen.
i hope my post is clear !

Thanks but it’s not an answer to my question. At least, try to understand it. And answer it...
Your solution is pretty offensive to us. Thousands of answers where people struggles with those display and try to help each other and you pop up and talk about display accommodations?
it’s the same to say: turn off True Tone guys, it so simple!
for the record: the filters are NOT INTENDED to calibrate your screen. It’s just a virtual layer that modify the brightness and the colors.
more clear now?
Read the whole thread and you will get your answer on your own.
I wonder why you all are so agressive.
Its hard to be patient if I read statements based on imagnation like “But if you change hue in accessibility menu and you get your screen perfectly white and sharp”.
Where is this came from? Neither did you see the screen of my phone, nor did I (or anyone else in this thread) said, that its perfectly white and sharp. Acceptable != perfect.
I’ve noticed a similar thing with mine. The bottom 1/3 of my display appears “whiter” than the yellowish top 2/3 when viewing white content. With my display on the lowest brightness and viewing greys, again the top 2/3 of my display are progressively more green than the bottom 1/3.
Thanks for this comment!!!!
There is someone coming, not reading anything in this thread and telling us sh**, it seems to me like @LMNC only wants to provoke us. if your screen looks perfect to you, then be happy and don't bother anymore about this thread here.
im paying 1200€ for an device "with the best display ever" and it looks like sh** and you are telling me, why i am complaining about this issue.
@LMNC nobody told you to come here and discuss with us! if you wat to learn something than stay here and be open for the issues other have, thats why the forum is for!

In other words: You‘re accepting it wrong!
BTW: The green hue on min brightness came back after playing with TT and a reboot. It was definitely gone right after installing 14.3 RC2.
I tested my new iphone 12 pro from week 49 again, and at the boot up there is no flickering, but when i watch the black youtube video or a black image it starts to glow. what does this means now?
and really hilarious, if i put my screen brithness at 100% and open a black pic it start to glow grey.
i could not make a video of that because it does not adjust in die end the black level so you can't see the glow. but i made some pictures
Edit: Auto-Brightnes is off
Edit: I found the error, the image i used was not really black so this was my fault
So I choose the black background from iphone 12pro, then i took a screenshot, cut the middle to get a pure black image. if i open this on the iphone 12pro with a brightness under 50% it starts to glow green,
with 100% brightness its really black and you see nothing.

It would be interesting to know what the tolerance was for displays in the last two years. Maybe Apple is more tolerant.
Anyway, now I can explain them with their words what I'm doing. I would like to get a 12PM replacement which is in the middle of the tolerance zone.
G0ND Max here with yellow tint and unusable true tone but no issues with greys in low light (or dark), also no flickering, it seems. Managed to create a very good white point with Colour Filters - but as many pointed out this is not a solution. Actually I want to be able to use true tone as I use it with my 2017 iPad Pro and I like the concept... So not really happy with the situation - but hanging in for now...
So no change of what we have until now.I tested my new iphone 12 pro from week 49 again, and at the boot up there is no flickering, but when i watch the black youtube video or a black image it starts to glow. what does this means now?

PMax week 44 panel G9N
Yellowish and greenish (greenish appeared only in very low brightness) was not as much as I see in this thread but the raised blacks/glow was driving me crazy.
Device sent back and I don't know what to do. Order a replacement or choose 11 pro max?
By doing color settings you are not making display to display good colors you are just tricking your eyes with totally changing the display RGB coverage if you think that that is good for you ok but don’t tell people that it’s a solution because it isn’t. And no apple can’t fix it via software because how do you think they will know we high phone have more yellower screen?
.... tested with black video 5 minutes : and no green or flickering.
. tested in photo : 3 modules result as good as my second one F2LDN i still have
. note that this one G0NDT arrived with ios 14.2.1 still installed
