iPhone 11 Pro Max screen colour issues

Ok so this is a bit of a weird one... I got my iPhone 11 Pro Max last Friday. All set up and working OK. Yesterday I was wiping my old XS Max and I noticed that the iPhone 11 screen looked ‘dull’ by comparison - muted colours and just washed out. I thought it might be a dodgy OLED panel BUT when I went to change the wallpaper in settings, the preview image IS vibrant and the colours much better. Images attached to prove I’m not going nuts (I hope). I went to my local Apple store and they said it all looks fine. I’m wondering if this is an iOS issue as surely if it was the panel itself it wouldn’t show any difference between the images? I’ve checked and turned off/ on all settings like True Tone etc but to no avail... anyone have any ideas?!!

I’m currently using an iPhone 8 with updated iOS 13.1.2 ;

Every single photo (saved straight from camera or otherwise) that I set as my wallpaper becomes washed out compared to it’s view in the photos app.

I’ve attempted saving as screenshots, changing settings, etc.

It’s driving me mad! Needs to be fixed ASAP. It feels like my eyes aren’t working, but the difference in quality is very obvious. This wasn’t an issue prior to the iOS 13 updates.

hi


this is a common issue, you’re one of many with it, i also have it. there is currently no fix, but apples engineers are working on it. at the moment though, they don’t know what is causing it. you might have to wait an update or two before it is fixed, i do know though that this happened on iOS 12 for some people, and even iOS 11 for others and it was fixed relatively quickly. don’t worry, it will be fixed, the advisor i spoke to assured me that a LOT of people have been reporting it
