iPhone 12 OLED Screen Issue

iPhone 12 pro

s/n : F17

week produce: 47

Green tint (just little under super low brightness 🔅), Raise black issue

*rejected twice by Apple repair center, once apple Genius Bar mentioned screen are not defected.

Just type chipmunk klantenservice in google search and you will find the site. I bet the production week is less than 46 as people have posted with the same serial number beginning but they didn’t have the fault from week 46.

Like i said, i am keeping tabs on different factories using the info i find here and in Mac rumors and this way i can identify which one will have the green tint and which one not. At least until now i have been able to guess correctly. It seems like different factories are getting informed at different times and therefore once we find the week number of the not affected one, we can zero down on the factory using the serial number and voila.

iPhone 12 pro F17 44 week

after two months of calling Apple and talking to the service centers in my area, I've almost lost all hope. yellow tint fixed with a mix of color filters and night shift but I have also green tint on a dark background .. Apple does not want to replace my iPhone because, so several people at Apple have told me, they are sure that the problem is software and Apple is working on a solution .. hopefully with 14.4 otherwise I'll sell my iPhone

All they need to do so that they use the smearing technique (because believe me scrolling the settings app while on full brighness, the smearing make the display look really less smooth) and mitigate the green tint is to reduce the time that the green tint stays on, from one second to a few miliseconds. The displays from iphone X all use a display that has 120 hz touch response (not to be mistaken with refresh rate), so it should be achievable. Finally i can put my head to rest that it is not a hardware issue, no matter whatever anyone says here.

i have the same experience. I sent 2 times to repair center and got back with replies the screen is not defect with checked by their tools. And once in Genius Bar in france same result. And I called 3 times reach senior advisor and got replied they will never replace my iPhone 12 Pro, never he mentioned a times to me, never. Hahaha. So I give up but I report him to customer service after that becuase his attitude and tone that he used is not right talk like this to a customer. So now I give up try to ignore the flickering and black raised screen 🙈

Just a Feddback about the 2 iphone 12 pro max i've ordered, i found out that the 14.4. beta 2 lessen the little gray flicker that happens and compared to the Day one Iphone pro max i've just returned today who had a yellow tinit , the screen are perfect, and the issue is still there but not bothersome at all. i'm fonna keep one of both after testing both devices extensively...

Same here.

1st Pro max:

Week 44 F2LD

Raised blacks below 99%, upto 0%.

Flickering with black videos below 80%. So much flickering that can strain the eyes.

Gaps on the left and top of the screen.

Returned after using for almost 2 Months.

Bought 2nd Pro Max yesterday:

Week 51 G0ND

Raised blacks below 20%, upto 0%.

Flickering has reduced a lot, but it is still there.

This time the gaps are on the bottom and right.

Which means they have made some improvements in the latest batches. But the problem is still there. Not sure why cant they fix it fully.

Not sure if I keep this one or return this and wait till March when there will be a fix.

I've never seen an iPhone 12 Pro without this defect. I've seen some iPhone 12 (not Pro!) without this bug, but not one iPhone 12 Pro or 12 Pro Max without this bug!

So I think every 12 Pro / 12 Pro Max has this bug, but in varying degrees.

Totally understand you. The only problem with that is there’s no guarantee that all the iPhone 13s or 12 S will come out with perfect screens without any issues. I had three devices (2 x PM and Mini) all with slightly different (but generally good) screens, except they all suffered from raised blacks (only noticeable in pitch black room). Decided to keep the first Pro Max since apart from that it’s a perfect device. So either Apple fixes it via software or I will go to the store and get a replacement in about a year.

Both iPhone X and iPhone 12 have the same previewed picture, which is in dark grey color not in black/pitch black/pure black. The green glow gets stronger as the image being displayed goes nearer to darker colors. However, there’s no green glow when the image being displayed is pure black because of course, pixels would turn off if the image is black, therefore having no green glows. :) But still, having grey being displayed results to green glows. When other colors are displayed, I notice that the part of the screen having those green glow also glows a lighter color with regards to what color is being displayed on the screen. For instance, when I’m looking at a pure blue image on my gallery, the part of the screen with green glow makes the blue color on that part lighter than the rest. I’m sorry for a complicated explanation but I hope you understood it. 😌

I hope fingerprint reader is not on the screen and on the power on button like the iPad Air 4! Having it on the screen will just cause more display issues not to mention worse screen uniformity from reviews of screens that do have fingerprint reader built into the screen!

I'm also using an iPhone SE atm since I returned my iPhone 12 and waiting for Apple stores to open back up to try and buy in person and return if new phone screen as bad as one I had. I don't know if I want to wait another year to replace the SE because even though it's ok the camera is way inferior and slower to focus than the on the iPhone 12!

To be honest think the majority of iPhone owners won't notice just as they don't notice true tone or nightshift automatically turning on and shifting colors majorly on the display.

The random flickering is what most will notice and complain about and even that only really noticeable at lower brightness.

Also doesn't seem to be iPhone 12 alone that has strange greenish glow in dark area since Samsung display that scored highest score also has it which makes me think it's an issue unique to OLED technology and how it deals with its green pixels near black. Further, when playing dark content (as in a nighttime video scene for

example), an unusual artifact appeared in dark areas — a flat green

shade creating a green halo effect, as seen in the photo illustration

Further confirmation that I probably made the right choice going back to the IPS display used on the SE, since I have 0 complaints as far as the display, goes since I got it which I can't say for the iPhone 12 in the time I had it :(

I figured since the 11 was experiencing the green screen and it was resolved with an update, the 12 would be as well. I pulled the trigger 2 nights ago on a 12 PM and noticed that with a pitch black video on YouTube, I get a little bit of flickering in the top left corner of the screen that goes away after a few seconds.

Since I purchased the phone with a credit from the apple store and I paid nothing out of pocket, I might just keep it and wait for an update. Worst case scenario I get a replacement under warranty. If it gets worse, which it hasn’t so far, I will return it and wait until the 12s/13. But for now I love the phone.

I personally was talking exclusively about the raised blacks issue aka pixels not being turned off below 100% brightness, that's the main issue I got on my device and also the flickering in Youtube which is basically the same - pixels not turning off.

My problem I’ve noticed while watching Star Wars movies at Disney+ App in a completely dark room. The screen keeps a backlight, almost like LCD screen, on the opposite side from the notch.

I’ve tested with a full black image and the problem didn’t happen. But if there’s something on screen 1% lighter, the green light appears again.

My current iOS version is 14.4 (iPhone 12)
