iPhone 12 yellow screen

Hey everyone. Does anyone know if there any iPhone 12’s (12, mini, pro or max) out there that do have the same white point as the 11, XS or X series? Or do ALL 12’s have this kind of yellow tint problem?

I'm just gonna lay it out here. I work in fashion photography. I'm a makeup artist - color is my job.

The display on the 12s is BAD and just plain ugly. The camera for photographing objects is okay but for photographing people it sucks. It has this hyper-realism. It's too saturated and oversharpens everything. Nothing about it is "true" to the subject. The white balance on the display is completely off. When you try to adjust you will still be left with something that's either a little too yellow, a little too magenta, a little too cyan or a little too blue. It is CRAZY making to me. The particular glow of the OLED dispaly is also very unpleasant. The entire time I am thinking "What am I looking at here?" "What does this really look like??". Also, for photographing faces, wide angle is probably the least flattering you could ever opt for.

It's too bad because as an object the phones are really beautiful and feel great to hold - the mini especially. But the display and the camera is an absolute fail as far as I'm concerned. And these phones are supposed to be ALL about the CAMERA! lol

I returned both the 12 and the 12 mini because I was irked every time I had to look at the screen. Not the experience I want to a have all day everyday. I am honestly shocked at Apple. Don't they have artists on their team??

There probably are a few with a normal white display like X and 11. As one of the YouTubers compared in different apple stores and found some with yellow display and some normal ones. It seems the display manufacturers are the culprits and Apple did not keep their standards due to the supply issues! I really hope Apple fixes this in software update soon!

My 12 Pro does not show correct colours!

I had appointment on phone with Support, no one phoned me or contacted me😡

if I photograph anything indoors the colours are way off and not 100% outside either, so annoyed

Are you saying there is issue with display or the camera? This thread is about the display issue.. Many of us seem to have a pale, yellow display on iPhone 12 Pro Max or 12 series and nothing wrong with camera.

NelsonAntonio, if you’ve not solved the problem I had the same issue with my iPhone 12. Going to Settings>Display & Brightness and turning off True Tone under brightness control solved it for me

my girlfriend smashed her white iPhone 12, I bought her the new purple colour and wow, I can tell you now that screen doesn’t have yellow screen. I made sure my iPhone 12 match her display settings and I still have the yellow screen. I will be contacting Apple regarding getting my phone exchange maybe to a newer batch. I honestly believe now this is actually something to do with the glass on the screen and Apple keeping this every quite. The phones are under 12 months and everyone should be allowed to exchange phones if not happy with current screen. I will contact Apple this week and I will get back with what they say.

Did they give you new ones in black boxes or replacement units in white boxes? I’m so ****** off, I took my 2 weeks new lphone to a Genius bar appointment and they sent it off for repair telling me they also requested a new unit, only to find out from other discussions that new isn’t actually new, a replacement unit is like a refurbished one. It should be made clear on these forums what replacing an iphone means before shouting to send it back send it back if it has a warm to it, as I was mislead by both these discussion and the genius who used the word “new” unit to replace. If i knew they don’t give real new ones as replacements. I would have kept the warm tinted one.

I am sorry if this is a late response but I really need help. I’m having the same problem on my iPhone 6s which I’ve had for about 3 years now. It just suddenly happened this morning when I was changing my keyboard settings on my phone. I changed what i wanted to change, and then suddenly when I pressed the home button the same thing happened, my screen had a horrible looking yellowish blue tint to it. I don’t know what to do… please help me. All my pictures, everything are blue and I don’t know what to do. If anybody has any suggestions I’d really appreciate it.

Hi my friend i have a iphone 12 pro and have a same problem with bad quality and yellow screen so first i turn off true tone and then i turn on screen filter with blue filter on with low intensity then my screen quality come back normal and color full i hope this solution help you

It’s 100% the glass that given some phones a tint of yellow. My misses got the new purple colour iPhone 12 so will be a new batch and her screen is better then mine I’m colour. I will take a picture and post soon.

Consider modifying Settings > Display & Brightness > True Tone on your iPhone 12 Pro.

I did the same thing with iPhone 11.

My brand new iPhone 12 pro display looks terrible! Yellow and dingy, not vibrant at all.

Apple needs to fix this. I’m wondering if I should return my 12pro.

Apple is not here and does not read or respond to any posts here.

If you are unhappy with your phone, return it while you still can
