iPhone 12 yellow screen

Tried already to play with hue filters, but there is no real white! (it look likes an old cathode ray tube television)

Unfortunately, the phone updated soon to 14.2 IOS before I could move data from my Iphone 7, that's why I cannot check IOS14.1 had the same issue.

In my pictures, you can see that the Iphone 12 PRO has some strange dots, maybe it's some kind of OLED adjustment when it becomes so dark, and this is causing some issues with the display.... but anyway with the max brightness there is some yellowish color instead of pure white .

I’ve recently contacted apple support. Seem like apple engineers are aware of the yellow/orange tint issues. I wonder will this be able to be resolved by a software update. Here’s my comparison between macbook pro retina display and my 12PM, it’s really bad...(true tone and nightshift are both off)

Well apple can fix his by update don’t know why they haven’t done it yet, if the screen can support Dolby vision and HDR surly a update can change the way the screen shows colour is a strange thing to happen since the screen is OLED and blacks should be black.

I went through this as well & it still has not changed the dullness I am seeing. Everyone who has asked to see my phone is backing off now because of it's screens lack of WOW!

I got my iPhone Pro & the colors/background was very dull (even the white from the internet pages)

My iPhone XR is extremely more bright & vibrant than my iPhone 12 Pro.

I contacted the support team & they saw the same thing on my shared screen & went over some trouble shooting with me which were the same things I did & it did not change. She suggested taking it back to Apple for an exchange & that one is dull as well.

I’ve done that too.

just as a heads up I am one of the community helpers as well.

i’ve tried adjusting

Color filters

True tone

automatic

reduce transparency/increased transparency.

reduce contrast/increased contrast

I changed my mind .... and keep the 12 pro Max

I packed it back for return Tuesday and as UPS didn’t pick it up I decided to have a second unboxing this WE and if I still see a difference on the whites with my iPhone X. I can leave with it and like that phone more than my X .... so I will wait a few weeks until they have new batches of phones in Apple stores and passed a couple of IOS updates.

if I notice à difference then I will request replacement with my Apple care +

No, that's total bs.

Apple have built their reputation on having things that "just work". Colours are always right on their devices out of the box, you're not having to go in and fiddle with every setting to get it to look passable.

I love the iPhone 12 Pro Max - it has many great qualities. But yes - a fix hasn't come yet. I'm probably going to send it back while I'm still in the return period and use my old iPhone X. If they fix the problem in the new year I'll probably purchase the device again.

You just fixed boosting "brightness", in the most inefficient way possible. Accessibility / Display & Text Size / Auto-Brigthness = OFF and Display & Brightness / True Tone = OFF gives you full manual control to set your own brightness anyway. That has NOTHING to do with the color display of the screen.

If you have another iPhone, using exact same settings, difference is clearly visible, on solid white image or any photograph really.

My sentiments exactly.

That was the entire point I have been trying to make the whole time.

If I alter any of the settings in any way it only makes the screen coloring worse.

below is the comparison of my iPod next to my iPhone 12Pro.

My XR was extremely brighter & more vibrant.

I also make sure that both did not have any setting altered.

You can compare two iPhones (11 and 12) on full Brightness then you will find screen of iPhone 12 PM is dull and yellow. Left iPhone 12 pro max and right iPhone 11. Settings are the same on both the iPhones.

I think Apple is preparing a bigger software update as there seems to be other issues with iOS 14 too. Battery drain etc.

I don't see why my iPhone 12 mini couldn't be fixed with a software update as I can pretty much fix it by fiddling with the settings myself. But if the defected screens cannot be identified or each of them would require a different calibration, then a software fix is not possible.

The annoying thing is that iPhone 12 PM Looks and feels SO MUCH BETTER with these accurate colors (9am to 3.30pm) until late afternoon hits when True Tone on starts looking yellow. True Tone off is always yellow

I would say it has to do with a layer of light that is always on but can only be seen on a black background.

That is to say, I would say that the problem of colors being bad is related to the greenish-gray layer that is seen when an image is blacked and the oled screen does not turn off completely.

As this greenish gray layer is always on, I would say that it is the one that creates the greenness of the screen and the yellowish tones on certain occasions.

Removing this gray-green layer that is always on, I would say all problems are solved.

I hope I was able to help with this information :)

I have my iPhone 12 Pro for over 2 weeks now and the screen is cleary warm and noticeable as it alters everything I look at, giving it a yellow tone.

I really hope the next software will help, but after this recent update few days ago, I am a bit suspicious if that will fix it!

I don’t know why an apple moderator is deleting me comments about how @mizz-305 is either a bot or someone paid by apple to gaslight us into thinking there is no problem. I am a content creator and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to use Lightroom, photoshop etc on my 12 pro max because the final product is horrible when looked at on a properly calibrated screen like my iPhone X or MacBook Pro 2018. Human Skin tones are the most affected by this because white, yellow , brown , black are all on the yellow color spectrum. The fact that my comments are getting deleted tells me apple is aware of the problem but do not have the balls to admit it. SHAME ON YOU APPLE , SHAME ON YOU! Keep deleting my and our truth but I’ll keep posting!
