They even smell like leather this year 👃🐂😋not that vegan smell like last year 😂
I don’t remember sniffing it last year to be honest. It was the Californian poppy one I had.
Smelt like plastic 😂 100% fake, they aged terribly as well. 🤦♂️
Checked in store, 3 out of 3 13 (plain and Pro) were darker on the right side. I can also see it from photos posted on this thread. I think they're all like this but few notice, there's no reason to get an exchange because it will be the same
So I could possibly end up with a worse panel 🤦♂️😂
Did you see any murky whites and red tint on them display units?
@LFC2020 should have asked Tim Cook for an executive pass to the factory so he could see his phone being made in such pristine condition, make sure that he can cherry pick the screen. Lol
Don’t give me ideas mate 🤔😂 Might call him and tell him to make sure they cut my panel exactly dead Centre from the wafer. 😂
Apparently the panels cut close to the edge aren’t that great.
This will be my first and last replacement, unless there is a major defect. 🤦♂️
Been using iPhones since the 3GS days, never played the panel lottery.

Tint they were fine, whites also seemed fine. But I was mostly checking the 13s. The Max I checked briefly seemed more uniform but if I don’t remember well as I didn’t check it extensively
That's BS. I remember my first yellow gate. Before even true tone was in Tim's happy sack. The iPhone 4S.
As long as it doesn't come from Adelaide, I'll be happy. 😂 I won't be comparing the new one. 🤦♂️ unless there is a major defect. 😁😂🤦♂️
What got my OCD going even more, every person that saw my screen, including apple support and a worker, agreed it was trash, had to return it after that. 🤦♂️😂
Thank you very much. Mine has the G9P but it’s quite good. No yellow or red tints etc.
Maybe Samsung has managed the issues..
I'm leaving this thread once my new phone arrives 😂🤦♂️
I came back from the Apple store after stopping off at
https://istanbulgrillfl.com/ I had no choice but to come off low carb on this occasion.
I couldn't find anything untoward on the iPhone 13 pro max screens brightness wise. They were all equally dim 🤣

Hard to tell under the store light. They wouldn't allow me access to their dark cupboard 🤣🤣
I’ve checked 3 phones and they’ve all had some sort of red tint under complete dark conditions on low brightness in a gray screen. All has it some in different spots. I think it’s just a defect of oled. I think I just have to accept if. Playing the panel/screen lottery sucks. Under most normal conditions you don’t notice it. I do wish I never saw this thread and looked for it. No screen will be perfect.
Nice!!! What’s the wait time for you? You check out the colors while you were there? Sticking with silver?
Don't know. Didn't look into it. I'll hold off until the dust settles stock wise.
Yes. I liked the silver. Funny you say this. Because the guy at the Apple store wanted to know why I was returning it, he assumed it was because I wanted a different color. I then pointed to the frame ding and he immediately said sorry and said he'd tell Uncle Tim about it. Lol.

Apple always says 4-5 weeks, they end up getting them out to people in 2-3 weeks, get your order in now, reckon you’ll have it in 2-3 weeks.
Apple always come though in the end and over deliver.
Or just wait till dust settles like he said. Apple stores are getting some stock as I just seen my local apple store receive Sierra Blue Pro max 256 GB storage size and they received 18 in stock. Lol
Hey everyone. Wife and I got a couple of 13 Pro max’s and when compared to my XS Max, the 13s screen looks more “yellow”. Not this could be because my XS max is too blue. But wanted to share and see what you guys think.
Let me know if you see any uniformity problem with the 13s or if it does look too yellow. Thanks!
