iPhone 12 yellow screen

This is ridiculous. The problem is not True Tone on or off or some ambient light adjustments or whatnot. Stop spreading this dribble, please!

The problem is that the iPhone 12’s background color is botched and not neutral white/ neutral grey.

So stop 🛑 please.

As of now you cannot use an iPhone 12 to edit pictures in a colour neutral setting since the screen is so far off from neutral. This is a huge problem in light of this phone being equipped and presented as a photographers tool.

I wish you people would do yourselves a favour and compare the iPhone 12 to a colour neutral grey or white background then you will understand that there is no amount of toggling true town, ambient light or color spaces on /off or adjusting screen colors. It won’t help.

Please stop giving advice to people that will not help solve the problem.

My iPhone 12 mini had that yellow screen problem pop up after working great for months. Fixed it by doing a RESET SETTINGS. Then I just had to redo some minor settings like text size, Home Screen picture, etc. working OK now.

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.

Wow! that’s really bad. I’m finding that true tone has a yellow tint. With it off, all the whites have a cyan cast. And, yeah, for 1K I should have to be manually adjusting all of my photographs. My 1st gen SE has better white balance than the 12 I just got! I’m so disappointed.

yikes. that’s rough. I noticed it right away - to me it’s a greenish/cyan hue. I work with color so it’s impossible for me to not notice it. I find it very ugly to look at. Fortunately I can return mine. Sure sucks though. Was really hoping for a better camera, etc...

I tried some of those adjustments but just couldn’t really find the sweet spot. Would be great if the adjustment could be make with an image in the viewer, if that makes sense? Also- the primary issue is white balance. When you adjust tint and hue - it does it across the board, not just to the whites.

I just feel like, for 1K I shouldn’t have to futz around like that. Most likely I’ll be returning this phone and waiting for an improvement. Pretty bummed. I was really excited about upgrading my photo situation.

I tried the colour filter trick.

You can kick away the yellow tint with colour filter but you didn’t resolve the problem in reality. If you apply a colour filter the screen brightness is significant lower. The iPhone 12 screens is awful with that yellow tint. Shame on apple, 1000€ to get an ugly yellowed display, Iam very disappointed.

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 “.

The iPhone 11 didn’t have OLED, it had LCD.

yes OLED comes from LG, but it doesn’t matter who the screen comes from it’s about the software that makes the OLED pixels lights up, nothing wrong with the screen it will be just apple’s software. Probably old OLED screens for sure though as they can only hit 60hz.

I don’t have a link where Apple has publicly announced this. Based off what they’ve told me and what they’ve told others- they’re either wanting the screens to look like this, or they’re saying that to deny that there’s a major flaw in their calibration tools.

yep that’s true, the phone is to powerful for the screen in general, it’s the only thing that has let this phone down, Apple should of made the screen perfect with hi-res of QHD with a min of 90hz, or at least 1080p with 120hz. I reckon the 60hz and poor whites was done deliberately due to the how poor the battery is.

My problem isn’t the 60hz display. My problem is that my iPhone 12 display have that awful yellow tint, this is unacceptable for smart phone at that price range. Even an 200€ phone have better colour display from my iPhone. Iam very disappointed.
