Maybe once the OP is done replacing his 12 pro max, he’ll change the title in this thread, last time I checked, his replaced his iPhone 1298 times so far.
Got a tip for us?

Is that how the displays are tested to give the brightness numbers? Auto brightness on or off? I don’t know and neither do you. The max brightness might be only when auto brightness is on.
Serious question, is your 13PM display actually not bright enough or is the comparison to another phone causing your anxiety? How about if your iPhone works fine in all conditions for you, maybe stop doing side by side comparisons with another phone trying to find a flaw. Just a thought.

I’m not going to go back and forward with you, I’ll most likely keep my phone, can’t be bothered playing the screen lottery.
This doesn’t look like 800 nits vs 1000 nits, looks like the 12 pro max has a higher hit count.
It’s how apple tested it apparently, since they came up with these numbers. 👇

Honestly, I found True Tone on iPhone to be limited and unapppealing compared to its introduction on iPad. It was always warm, except perhaps on iPhone X. iPhone 7 was warm, and iPhone 8/XS/11 Pro/12 Pro had warm True Tone.
Performing a restore on iPhone 13 Pro Max caused my displays True Tone to be slightly warmer than my warm 12 Pro. Performing dfu restore via iMax fixed it. I actually see the display change in tone like all the iPad Pro’s. Previous iPhones didn’t really adapt the color tone to my environment, but this phone changes tone all the time and can even get cool. I think the new display driver adjusts the white point more dynamically and this may be because of the LPTO Display

True Tone makes me want to vomit every time I see it, I hope apple get rid of it for good.
There are more yellow and less yellow displays, on all models, every year. Someone with a more yellow 12 walks into the store and happens to see less yellow 13 displays, then comes here and reports "yay, the 13 series is improved". Someone with a less yellow 12 orders a 13 and happens to receive a more yellow one, and report "dammit, the 13 is even more yellow than the 12". Those are all just anecdata. So far there is nothing whatsoever in this thread that would indicate that there is any substantial change this year.
Fair enough. You do you. Never ending posts all hyped-up for your new iPhone. Then never-ending posts complaining about something about your new iPhone. Somebody likes attention.
Suffice to say he's just as OCD as the rest of us and is probably in the right place. Though, in my experience, most certainly not doing himself many favors by sticking around these parts if he's trying to move past it
Yup. Although with that being said, I've never noted any significant variance unit-to-unit in the store. I have been to many a Best Buy and Apple Store over the lifetime of the 12 series for unrelated browsing/purchases and not yet seen a 12 series screen that came close my iPhone X's crispy white beauty. It seems that overall the displays are simply (and purposefully) tuned warmer than they used to be, likely due to market data suggesting that most people prefer them that way. I wish they'd just market true tone as the answer for that crowd, but alas...
Yet you’re the one here in this thread looking for attention, when you clearly don’t have a issue with your display.
So when scrolling white text on pure black background at night at minimum brightness do you also see some kind of rgb color channel separation effect on the moving text? Also happen on pictures, it looks a bit like those filters you put on videos to make it look like in the nineties, with the tv scan look. Not a big deal, just a curious effect
Even a 11 pro max has a brighter screen than mine, very noticeable in person
Put the brightness bar up a little more to achieve same level brightness.
This is an OLED thing, I've seen it for years. Not worth worrying about
Lower the brightness on the 11PM. Boom, problem solved
That’s the color you really wanted wasn’t it. ? Please be honest with me.
This is what my iPhone 12 Pro and 13 Pro look like when compared side by side at 50% brightness. The 12 Pro is definitely brighter. I didn't try the flashlight/sunlight test. This is not a problem for me as I use my phone at 50% brightness and the 13 Pro looks fine to me. My 13 Pro screen is even and has minimal color shift off axis and I'm happy with it overall.
On fire today ain’t ya. 🙄😂
I’ll take any color that doesn’t have a slight red tint when off axis, also one that will hopefully be brighter than a iPhone x. 🤦♂️😂
Looks like it’s a common thing with these panels.
The max brightness is only with auto brightness enabled. Been this way for quite awhile.

I must have missed it. Good. Then there is no problem. You want your 13 to be brighter than your 12, turn on auto brightness and go out in the sun.
Think his confused with how these screens should behave, 800 nits vs 1000 nits.
You shouldn’t have to turn on auto brightness and go outside so you can have a brighter display.
iPhone 11/12 pro max, shouldn’t be brighter than than a 13 pro max, even with auto brightness disabled on both.
Most likely wait until my store has refurbs available and swap mine out.
