From my experience, it's not related to the production week, since I had a week 48 (which I returned) that was also very yellow.
been buying iPhones since the start of time.
this year has been the worst. Their QC and their acceptable standard is the worst. You want to tell me dust in the lense doesn’t affect photo quality then fine but when the screen is a completely different shade left right down top how is one suppose to ignore that?
I’m using my day1 G6 iPhone 12 Pro Max which goes so green/yellow on one side it’s not funny.
Got another G6 which has the best consistency but brightness is 30% darker. Side to side with each other and whites are a brown.
Got it swapped to a F2 which are extremely reddish cool and it looked fine during the day but I use the phone mostly at night and the top went extremely neon (yes neon) at low brightness and the bottom completely dull.
my iPad Air is a stunning device. So is my MacBook m1 and before everyone jumps on the “its not an oled” argument ... I got an iPhone 12 day 1 from work and it’s perfect. All corners the same shade, minimal blue tint shift, True Tone spot on, no red green excessive tint
unfortunately since it’s a work phone I can’t use it as my main driver

Ya will do I’m on holidays and phone is at work. I’m using my day 1 G6 now and the far left edge is white so not only do I have the shade going from “white and faint” on the left to “yellow and dark” or green with TrueTone on the right. I have to also deal with the darker top to bottom.
$2020 for this

Wow 3 glasses for a 10 bucks from well known brand? What a bargain. The brackets surely will help. But in my experience is not the alignment that stress me out, it’s the dust particles that’s getting trapped in between. My whole house is full of tiny dust due to being in some kind of valley geographic situation. So I keep asking the store girls to install it for my gadgets.
For me, this round is over, the replacement device goes back as well. (12 PM, F2MDR 29th November 48th week,
screen: G9Q04 14th November.)
I have tried hard to convince myself that the replacement device will be good as it has a much better display than the previous one. I played with the settings, so thank you for the tips, but the consequences (like brightness loss, color shift) are for me unacceptable.
Fortunately I had to work the last two days and realised the phone has no chance with me. I work with 3 monitors, + a Macbook Pro 15 (2019) and an iPad Pro 12.9 (2020), looking aside at the 12PM is constantly a bad feeling. It doesn't matter if it's sunny or just dark, it fluctuates between a very bad and a roughly bad feeling.
The only question left to me is that should I keep it, wait and hope for a fix?
I think Appl€ doesn't care (even if they try to convince people with marketing words like AppleCare+, its simply about profit
). They would have received my 1350€ for this terrible display (incl. the beautiful phone ofc) if any form of repair had been officially announced.
To be honest, I can understand it. The product cycle is short, the next model is almost here, the vast majority of people don’t care, and only few of them (incl. me) will skip this model because of the display.

There is no guaranteed if Apple is even going to fix this issue.
Just a hint for those who haven't thought about it yet: you can give feedback directly to Apple.
Hi! This is my iphone 12 pro purchased on the day of release! what do you say about my display ?? and yellow? and uniform?
Impossible to say from that image as white detail is burned! Take better photos with different brightness settings.
I wrote there few years ago. They are probably busy because I haven't go reply yet.

I don't see it so much yellow live !! mine starts with F17! iphone 12 pro!Sorry
respectfully- don't worry about it then. ignorance is bliss. don't go looking for issues you don't perceive
All right! but I have a problem with a black background! when viewing black the black flashes!
for that one, Apple supposedly is aware and working on a fix but lots of people suspect its a hardware issue since not all of them do.
That's one of the benefits of OLED, if performing correctly, is perfect blacks with pixels shut off
Dang :/
Nope. Just found this image on google, would be pissed if mine looked like the left (though I have no idea what's going on with the tint of the right, must be Night Shift on)
Yes, I noticed it by watching an all black video on youtube in a completely dark place with brightness around 30%!

I agree with the replies above. Just enjoy your iPhone
Think when Apple went oled across entire line they went cheap. Can’t be see Apple ever recalling existing panels.

I wonder if there's going to be a lawsuit about yellow screen in the upcoming years. A clear and logical argument can be made... White screen iPhones at the store or Demo v/s Yellow screen iPhones that consumers receives.
