Yeah using it now. It’s a keeper. Didn’t think I’d survive with 64GB but it’s all good. Panel is also good for and lcd for the price. Slight light bleed in one corner but acceptable. With slight I’m meaning turning the panel to bare min brightness and checking the bottom left corner . Never noticeable under normal usage.
Congrats! Nice purchase, they’re also very popular here as well, maybe it’s time apple went back to LCD panels for their iPhones. 🤔
 
Do me a small favor if you may. When you view contacts in portrait mode how does it look on the iPad ? On mine , the left side shows contacts but right shows only half the information of highlighted contact.
Don’t have my contacts on my iPad sorry. 🤦‍♂️😂

Maybe someone else can check for you.

This is what it looks like without any contacts, not sure if it helps.

Created 2 contacts, shows everything in portrait mode, but the stupid sidebar cuts off half of the writing , you have to hide the sidebar every time, so you can see everything. 🤦‍♂️😂

wonder where apple hire these people from.

Looks perfect in landscape mode, sidebar sits on the side and doesn’t block your contacts details. 👌

Thanks. That’s exactly what was happening for me in portrait mode. It doesn’t appear like iPhone.

No probs, shows where apple is at with iOS/iPadOS at the moment, they’ve gotten really sloppy lately, Timmy boy is busy focusing on all these services bringing in the money, instead of focusing on all these stupid bugs and UI design errors in their software.

Indeed, though I am actually satisfied with my 13 over the 12 because they do seem to have improved a the rate of throttling due to the display efficiency.
Interestingly they actually did not use Y-Octa or on-cell for all devices last year, and are now across the 13 lineup.

I’ll say that it seems obvious by viewing angle & touch responsievesss to me and the colors have somewhat improved especially on orange and blue. But I’ve heard the opposite is to be expected on the latter, so..
Everything after the iPhone X, isn’t good enough in my eyes.
blasphemy, the XS was the greatest phone ever built!

It’s BS that apple allow this type of garbage to leave the factory. 🤦‍♂️

@Limeybastid Looks like I might have made the right call not playing the screen lottery, 5th replacement 👇😳 @TheYayAreaLiving what happened to apple only using the best of the best for the 1TB models? 🤔😂👇😳

Say what? This is a replacement phone though. It’s been touched by humans. This is not a factory sealed fresh off the assembly iPhone. It’s not the same.😂

After seeing this, I feel fortunate to get a decent screen, at least. This is crazy. 5 f***** times?! WTF?
 
Just popped in the Apple store and compared to 3 or 4 other 13 Pros. It was all pretty close. Brightness is a tight range between them and tint roughly all the same. Yellow-ish tint was consistent and some difference in warmth from left to right, even if it was very minor. Long story short, nothing in it.
My 13 pro max has no yellow tint. I compared it to my XS Max and 6S+ and both those screens are warmer. And both those screens are totally fine. I wouldn’t call any of the three screens I got yellow tinted.
In many cases (not all) we trick ourselves into thinking we have an issue. I’d say most iPhone 13s do not have a warm tint to them contrary to the mass hysteria on this thread. Your short story is correct. For vast majority there is nothing in it. But there are some who def do have too yellow a screen, those def need replacing.

I ordered a replacement (back ordered where I am.) gonna compare it out of the box before setup. If better, I’ll go with it. If worse, I’ll keep my current one. I owe myself one try due to the brightness difference between my phone and the display models- it’s significant. Even my x is a bit brighter than my 13P.
