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

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.

Same here. Super annoying effect of the OLED screen. Pretty disappointed. I cant stand the yellowish look of the whites

I can confirm the issue still persist after 14.3 update.

Also worth to know that full screen brightness is brightest when auto-brightness is off. With auto-brightness enabled, even when you push brightness level to maximum, it won’t be as bright.

I have to add, that both phones were at the lowest brightness setting, because the room was completely dark at the time.

Because the environment was so dark, the difference looked huge.

The Setting changes didn’t fix my iPhone 12. The screen is still bluish with an angle on latest iOS 14.3. My old iPhone 6+ is much better. Hopefully apple will fix the issue soon.

Do Apple actually read these threads? I just wonder if they have ever added any fixes to iOS updates based on what is being posted in this forum?

Jan 1, 2021 11:10 AM in response to lobsterghost1

Ahhh ok. Seems like a missed opportunity to see what apple users are saying though, don’t you think?

Thank you to ALL the users who have added their advice though. 👍🏼👍🏼

Not really a missed opportunity, when this was never the intent of this forum. That's why there's a feedback link, like I provided.

Jan 1, 2021 11:40 AM in response to lobsterghost1

Feedback already done on that specific site.
