Apple will be introducing new screen just like Apple Watch. It’s very likely the yellow screen won’t exist.
Took a picture it doesn't show because of auto white balance
Wow...this thread is still going.
I still have my release day iPhone 12 Pro and the yellow/greenish tint never disappeared. When I compare it to my calibrated screen, it still has the same tint as almost a year ago.
Just writing this to debunk the theory that it will improve over time.
It's a good phone but I never got used to the screen. So I either use it with TT off or with TT on and a color filter.

Guys the reason that the iphone displays have a warm tint is very very simple. It is not the fault of Apple other than their decision to choose pentile OLED displays over rgb displays. Pentile displays have twice as many green subpixels than red or blue subpixels, which causes them to always take on a warmer hue. Go ahead and google images of pentile the pentile arrangement vs rgb arrangement when both displays are showing an image with white. None of the examples ever truely look white compared to striped rgb subpixel arrangement. Here, ill provide an example for you:
You can tell that the rgb arrangement will end up representing the white around the letter much more accurately. Green simply has a much more powerful presence in pentile displays obviously.
The only way to truely fix this issue is by going back to the rgb arrangement. Hopefully we’ll see that one day

Thanks that helps alot. But there are iPhone 12's out there they look like true tone and nightshift are always active when their not. But mine is a litter warmer than 11 pro not a big deal
I have been researching this issue for a long time.
I'm sure that's one of the reasons.
But then, this problem is a misconfiguration in the calibration stage.
They should have made the green glow a little weaker.
And if this is the cause, how can I explain the existence of the iPhone 12pro or pro max with a display that is not warm?
Normally led devices to have better whites than OLED. So if it is a huge difference then there's a problem but a minor difference is no big deal.
Sure, but then why are the 12 Pro panels so much worse compared to previous pentile OLED models too?
Hoping whatever fancy-pants 120hz displays are coming in a couple of months put this issue to rest, at least for the year...
I'd be sending that back if its like that in person. It looks like too big a difference to ignore.
Whats the point of one of the best cameras on the market if you can't preview or edit photos correctly on device.
If Apple would simply Include a color calibrator like the one in MacOS, the color differences between panels instantly become a non-issue.
I really just know anymore because I have seen a couple better ones and many many worse ones. I mean does it look like your 12 pro?
Also forgot to mention that iPad is way too be, to begin with at like 7200k and a half the brightness. I'm sorry for forgetting that information.
My screen issues have actually come back since upgrading to 14.7. I didn’t notice them with the 14.6 but my screen feels warm with a yellow hue once again. So frustrating.

Yep, just like before. I know somebody who just got a purple iPhone 12 manufactured in early July and has a yellow tint. So IDK what the hell is going on.

No it's the picture even when looking at youtube videos having less brightness shows more yellow and oled is shown as more vibrant than leds. But thank you.
