iPhone 12 Pro screen has blue green tint

Anyone experiencing a bluish green tint on their new iPhone 12 Pro, especially when viewed from an angle? More noticeable when viewing an image with lots of white.


Tried True Tone on and off and results are:

True Tone ON: Greenish tint

True Tone OFF: Bluish tint


When going through photo album, everything generally looks warmer, the whites have a slight yellowish tint with True Tone on and off, more noticeable when On when compared to iPhone 7 and 11.


The attached photo shows the same image on the 12 Pro, 11, and 7. Ironically, the 7 produces the truest colors, while the 11 has a slight magenta tint to it.


Basically just trying to see if this is how the screen is "programmed" or I have a defective screen.

Appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

For those, who are still waiting for a software solution...

My new iPhone12pro also has Problems with green tint and i just called the Apple Support. After checking the IMEI, the support employee said, that it is a hardware issue and that i should send it in for an exchange. This would be the second exchange on the same problem.

Missing quality control on a highend smartphone at that price is really annoying.

You can go around this:


Go to 'Settings' > 'Accessibility' > 'Display & Text Size' > 'Colour Filters' > Toggle on, select 'Colour Tint' > swipe Intensity all the way to the left > swipe Hue roughly to about 75% or to a tint you are comfortable with.


Also it is easier if you disable darkmode(if already switched on) while adjusting this feature.

I have found that even the camera snaps dark greenish pictures. I have to correct the whites once the image is imported onto my computer! This is absolutely horrible for an iPhone. I just upgraded from a 7plus and now have the 12 pro in my hands and I am appalled. I purchased this phone specifically to photograph my work and now I am at a loss for what to do. I am hoping once raw is here it will give me option but currently the settings are really bad. Considering a different brand at this point. I spent way to much money to end up not using this camera.
