iPhone 12 yellow screen

I actually wanted to buy the 11 Pro but Verizon didn't have any specials on them at all and now I regret it but saving almost $600 on a 12 was too good to pass up. Too bad they didn't tell me my display and camera were going to be yellowish.

Well, just checked my wife's phone, which is a standard, not Pro, 12 and comparing the display to her iPhone 6 (yes, I said iPhone 6) it is a joke. Her 6 is a much better display. This is a joke. Apple better be able to fix this or respond before January 15th which is the deadline for me to return.

Thank you for responding.

I am the one who initially started this thread because I was being told by one of the Apple stores that there was no reported problems with the background coloring of the new iPhone 12 Pro.

I said I know that I am not crazy and not wasting my personal time reaching out to Apple or returning to the stores so I started this thread to see if anyone else was having the same problem and wouldn’t you have guessed it, I got a flood of responses of people experiencing the same issue.

it is definitely frustrating as I am not only experiencing the issues with the tent but viewing emails and sometimes Safari adjusting things two of you that I am not able to view.

I hope that you are able to resolve your issue. If they do not come out with an update to resolve this I will be returning my phone for a full refund. I have already been looking at other phones.

Right, but I shouldn't have to use one of my claims to fix something that shouldn't have been "broken" or not up to expectations to begin with...so no Apple needs to stand up and do what's right for everyone!

Yup! I am just deciding if I should just replace my iPhone 12 Pro by the beginning of January with an 11 series.

If I will wait longer than the date above, and not have the Apple coverage, I will not be able to get a refund for the phone.

So it really comes down to these options:

1) returning the iPhone 12 Pro and get an 11, while still filing the claim for the fix

2) keeping the iPhone 12 Pro and get coverage for it, while still filing the claim for the fix

In both cases, it might take time to get a clear resolution from Apple. In case 1) I might need to "rebuy" the iPhone 12 Pro once it gets fixed, unless Apple is recognizing the issue and pays for the difference in getting back to the latest model.

jenney5309 did you already returned your iPhone and got a previous version? Just wanted to learn how everyone else dealt with this matter! Thank you!

I could not agree with you more.

The stores are acting as if they are not aware of that there is an issue but how they can continue to do so is beyond me because by the looks of the initial thread I posted, there has been a substantial amount of people experiencing the same issue that I am.

it is very frustrating.

Other issues I am experiencing;

when I clear my browser history it will not fully clear.

when I am in Safari reading a story it flips its self back to a yellow or black background.

if I send anyone a picture and they reply in order for me to see their response I have to hit reply I cannot just simply open the email and read.

I have been working with an awesome tech but she nor myself nor the engineers that she converses with have been able to come up with a resolve. I paid too much money for this phone for it not to function as advertised.

I may be returning mine as well and buying something like the EXR again.

I have same problem I am totaly dissatisfied with the picture quality on the screen it’s yellow tint everywhere no matter change any setting.

pls help me what should I do I love taking pictures but this one disappointed me a lot .

Thank you so much as this is the best way to fix this problem , I’ve called technical support,had a lengthy talk with them and they have documented our phone call and ran a on screen diagnostics with me , they will not send a new device because everything else is fine nothing is broken and Apple techs check everything that may be wrong with the diagnostic! Every test came back with no problems for me and they “can’t”

see this yellow tint I even mentioned this discussion page , my guess the more calls they have about this issue will be the only way a new update will occur to

fix it ! You really helped me a lot since the main reason of me purchasing my phone 12 pro max 2days ago is for the sole purpose of better screen resolution and picture outcome , I’m a mom I hardly do much for myself this was the big “Yay” for me with everything that’s going on during this past year ! You made my day and I still can’t thank you enough !!! Continue being awesome ❤️🥲❤️

No matter what some people are saying the bottom line is that for some, if not most, people have a problem with the white. It’s so obvious when you compare it to another iPhone model prior to the 12. It needs to be addressed by Apple because this is supposed to be the ultimate camera phone and if the color is off you cannot edit your pictures accurately and that sucks if you want to order canvas or prints of your photos.

Yeah I agree with you on the better camera and form factor. Thankfully the color filter helped a lot in removing the yellow tint.

It looks a lot better, but since you’re more experienced with color accuracy, are colours less accurate with this configuration?

Yeah I’m am also in a .5 b. E. t. A 6 and it hasn’t been fixed. Once release candidate is released, and it’s not fixed by then I’ll just give up. I’ll trade in this model later this year for a Pixel.

I was pixel 4 before I came back to iPhone, not had a iPhone since 6. Before I sold my pixel phone I compared screen and pixel was well better, reason why I didn’t send iPhone back was because when I read about it I heard they had the same problem with IPhone X and later got fixed so I thought I will just wait.

I think iPhone lack on OLED screens and that’s why we still stuck with 60hz while 90hz has been with android phones for the past 4years and now some phones hitting 120hz. The only good think with OLED it should only take a update to fix but has Apple just given up?

Maybe they have given up or this was how the screen was calibrated meaning it may be intentional. Apple has released 3 iPhone models ( X, XS, and 11 ) with OLED screens over the years. No way are they lacking since they basically source the panels from Samsung and LG. If anything, in Apple’s words, “ we are probably holding it wrong “.
