i got my 12 pro yesterday, beautiful machine, but i started to notice some lack of color intensity, i've using an Iphone X for 3 years know, so something was off. I put the two side by side, displaying the same foto, exactly same settings, and it's sad, something is wrong with the 12 pro, the colors are sad and dead and "yellowish".
Any ideas ?

Hello Antonio! I found a solution that works for me and would work for you as well! My new iPhone 12 also had the yellow tint to it so I exchanged it at my local apple store and although the new one was better, it still had the tint to it. My solution is to actually change the color tint of the display by going into your settings < accessibility < display & text size < color filters < turn on and select color tint. You can scroll down and adjust the intensity and the hue. I have my intensity slider all the way to the left and my hue is about 80% to the right which adjust the tint to a more natural color. It has satisfied me and I hope it works well for you!
What is now a problem is the process to change the phone. Apple wants to receive this phone and then they will send me another. In 2/3 weeks...
this is absolutely ridiculous.
im a good Apple customer, from computers, iPads to watches to phones to AirPods for me and my family. Never had a problem, now that I do, I get to know an arrogant and inflexible company.
not happy at all.
Same experience here. My 7+ had nice, crisp whites. The 12 Pro I got today there’s no whites at all, anything that should be white is a weird dingy off-white that’s honestly pretty off-putting. Really disappointed with this.
I’ve returned mine and I’m now expecting for a new one.
before returning it, I’ve done what you described and it makes it better. However I don’t believe that after buying a 1,300€ I have to make that kind of fixes, it should be great out of the box. If the new one is not as it ahould, I’ll probably buy something else.
I’m very disappointed by Apple on all this.
Same problem with me and I compare my iPhone 12 pro and all other iPhones. Also, I compare my iPhone with my all my friends who they have iphone 12 pro it is the same.
The display is annoying and yellowish!
I hope there is something to do to fix this problem.
I’m a photographer and noticed this color tint right away. It’s been two days now and every time I look at the phone, I’m disappointed. Worst Apple product I’ve purchased in years. This is my wife’s phone being setup next to her iPhone 8. There’s no excuse for this, especially with a $1000 phone.
the fix procedure you are describing is the default setting that the phone should have.
You cant imagine how yellow was the screen with true tone and night shift on . ... so these settings were already off.
In accessibility menu the setting of reduce white point was already off as default too.
Shame on you Apple why not include a bigger battery and keep same display quality. We all know that you did this on purpose to increase battery life. Always finding ways to make more Profit. Typical for Apple let’s remove headphone jack so they buy the AirPods. Let’s remove the charger block so they buy the MagSafe and MagSafe cover. Environment excuse! Please don’t sacrifice quality or this will be your downfall one day.
it might be an easy fix man, i tried the same before returning my first.
the point is that, this is an Apple iPhone, you should not have to do anything like that with a new device.
I think this is my 10th iPhone(not counting watches, macs whatever), never had the need to do anything of the sort, and that is the way it should be when purchasing something from apple.
This for me is a complete lost of confidence in Apple. to be honest, if all my devices were not apple, i would be considering some android, that's how disappointed i am. Instead i have a ****** 1,300€ phone.
This yellow tint is making me sick!! Can not tolerate. Just waiting for 14.3. Maybe they can fix this? Or the whole batch is faulty? Apple needs to fix this!! Otherwise I will have to return my phone within the returns policy!!
After the recent update, actually it’s kinda worse. I feel the screen are much greener. Especially when I open “software version” . It shows green overlay and after a few seconds, the overlay gets turned off.
In london we are in lockdown till 2nd Dec, hopefully Apple will resume operations on 3rd Dec so I can browse also. I can benefit from extended Christmas return policy till 8th Jan 2021 to return my yellow screen iphone 12 pro max. Will see how it goes once I compare with display models on 3rd Dec or later! Have time to return so not in a rush.
Thanks got my 12 Pro Max yesterday. Have the same problem. Slightly yellow. Doesn’t look quite right.
Planning on giving the phone another week. If I can’t get used to it will return. My iPhone X still works fine. If Apple fix the problem at some point I’ll probably then go and purchase the 12 again.
I had the flickering with my first iPhone 12 Pro. I still have the low light, tinged background for everything no matte what app I am in it still appears low lit & colors are still not vibrant at all.
I am not happy at all. I spoke with a tech today & we did a restore & that did not change the background appearance at all. Even using the pre-set backgrounds the lighting for this phone is horrible. I even took it in to the Apple store 11/23/20 & was essentially told to go home & handle it myself or deal with tech support no change.
I think I may ask for a refund & buy something else.
I gave up too. Dead colors, yellowish, bad quality photos and videos. Doesn’t matter on which other device you check them.
Terrible camera and display quality. Period.
Reviews, that say display is gorgeous are biased and don’t care about their reputation.
I don’t really understand how JasmineAtcho's comment can be marked as an answer (solved).
Auto brightness has nothing to do with this problem. And even if Auto brightness would solve anything, it would just show that something is wrong with the color management. Colors are dead, photos are dingy, I don't even want to mention videos.
