OK, but still pretty strong effect as based on the "shape" of the phones, not much angle at all.
Anyway, looks like you know and undestood what I pointed out in the photos, since most commenting here could not see anything wrong even I pointed the difference with arrows in the photos.
Compared my phone with a friends phone, but on same os, both iPhone 12 max. Both looked identical at launch, now his doesn’t look as yellow. Anyone seen anything similar ?
Mine starts with F2LD and looks like the one on the left
Looks like the majority of panels compared to X.
About uniformity, does it have a glass screen protector? It appears to show some rainbow effects.

It's not just about the yellowness/warmness/tone. For some reason, photos look more vivid and 'pop' more on my iPhone 7 than on my 12 mini (when I had it). That was the main reason I returned it. Couldn't believe me eyes.
It’s too blue without it. I used my 2020 iPad Pro as a comparison to try and calibrate it. I can get it pretty close, but the colours are just slightly off. Still, I’m happy with it now. I don’t need 100% color accuracy. There’s no point in keeping exchanging them when 99.9% of them are the same.
could you please take a screenshot of where did u put the slider for color filter and night shift
look at this photos, at the left my iphone 12 and on the right my girldfriend's iphone 12. What do you think it's better?
btw: the paper image is edited with noir filter to show black and white.
Mine seems whiter, it's but it's still warmer than my ipad pro, macbook pro and iphone 8 plus. Also in grey background there is sort of green in the notch edges but not specially noticeable. Today I wen to the reatil store where I bought the iPhone and I have been able to speak with the technician cause is familiar and he told me that Apple has told him that they are not going to repair the phones and that we wait for the next update. He also has an iPhone 12 and has returned it 6 times and continues with the same problems, some variations on the screens but ultimately remains the same. I can't get a replacement, the only thing i can do is send the iphone to repair and we all know that this is useless. So, we hope that problem will be fixed in iOS 14.4 or later (not to much). I have no choice but to keep the iphone.

Left looks better to me. I don't think apple will fix anything via software, so i would try to get used to it. Doesn’t look too bad in the pictures though.
but some days looks horrible I even notice that the colors of the screen change between yellow/green tint when brightness is below 50%. This is something that make me think it will be at least one thing they can fix along with flickering. But again I don't think they will fix the warm and non uniformity on the panels. But hey, who knows? Hope is the last thing you lose
Yes there is a glass screen protector on it. Does that give an accurate picture then?
Yes this is totally the same as what I have been posting, the screen is much more duller than any previous iphone
If you have time can you check if the new one which has less color shift off axis has worse black smearing?
IPhone 12 OLED - black smearing
I wrote a post already on this, but I didn’t know how to call the issue. I have since learnt it’s called OLED smearing. I understand that all OLED screens do it a bit, but I do not know if my screen is worse than others, from this point of view. Can you test if the same happens on your OLED...

I had the same issue with the Spigen ez fit tempered glass and my Oakley shades ( polarized )
Changed to the ESR brand, and no issue!
Yeah, should’ve done research and even look for cheaper options, but I was in haste to pick this one up worrying going without one off the store. I’m not good at applying screen protector myself. The other option was a cheap 5 bucks protector with a notch cut that I hate to look at. Mine is called Lamina, with 99% UV cut ratio (whatever that means). I’m guessing it alters lights pointing directly towards it so it avoid reflection for clearer view. But the polarized lens on my Ray Ban also does this hence messing up the whole view on the eyes.
no i mean the phone on left, on week 46, i guess its not 12. so the newer phone will get whiter screen now?
I always got the premium ones, including the whitestone dome.. and later realized, it's really not worth it..
The ESR that replaced my Spigen ez fit, has full coverage ( no notch cutout ), blends in perfectly and the clarity isn't compromised at all.
