iPhone 12 OLED Screen Issue

I highly recommend you to return it wait for a month and rebuy if you like that phone

The display won't be fixed with an update at least in the near future if it ever be

That gap issue is pretty strange

My device starts with the same serial number characters

I am unable to return it or replace

yes along with green tint (very slight but I can spot it with specific brightness levels mostly under 12% exactly until 0%)

Everyone have that issue I am convinced (The Backlight one)

The issue is much less widespread with the Pro Max

iPhone 12 still a great phone , but not worth its price tag , especially the pro and pro max. Apple it’s charging extra for keeping up with the competition!!! Samsung used oled since 2013. Apple introduced oled in iPhone X and charges $1000!!!

Got the iPhone 12 PM , manufactured in week 51! The screen quality is to my liking and do not have the Issues with the Oled not switching off.

have the slight gap between the display and the stainless steel sides (as pointed by someone above). For me that should be normal !

I would say not to sell it if it doesn’t impact the daily usage ! Not very smart to lose 150$! Sometimes, ignorance is bliss! I think I would have never found the issues (both the gap between screen and stainless steel frame and the grey issues, had I not read about thém online )!!

I would wait to see if apple will provide any solution until at least mid january. If not, I would definitely try harder to return it or to get it replaced again with apple.

if they don’t let you, Only then I would sell and lose $150 instead of looking at the ugly green glow.

It all comes down to how big of a trouble it is for the person. I noticed the weird tint and the grey blacks right away, and found this thread. It was driving me crazy how ugly it looked compared to my iphone x.

Just on the left and on the top ! I think it differs from phone to phone ! But I think you cannot fit in the screen without a slight gap! The previous generations had a rubber gasket between the frames and the screen ! Current flat design means , we no longer have this gasket in between and we see gaps ! I bet everyone would have that ! It doesn’t impact the water resistance as the glue is on the back of the phone and not on the sides ! So enjoy your phone without worrying too much :)

Hello, how do you find out what week your device was manufactured? Also do you mind letting me know what factory yours is manufactured in, mine says factory 1 (F1) in settings. My iPhone 12 has green glow issues and screen tint issues

I wouldn’t sell it if it makes me lose $150. People are annoyed that a $1000 phone has a defect, then proceed to spend an additional $150 on it? That doesn’t make sense.

I hate the display problem as much as anybody, but to be 100% honest I don’t see the green tint unless I’m looking for it. I spent several hours a day on my phone in the past several days, and I don’t notice it.

In the mean time I enjoy the smaller bezel, lighter weight, squared frame, and larger memory.

I ordered for my 5th iPhone 😂 today and I hope the problem is not there anymore. This is awesome. I can do this all year long. Either I get lucky or when iPhone 13 is released I return mine and get a full refund and order for iPhone 13.

Yes I have had 5 iPhone minis all with flashing and black pixels bit turning off. Now I will receive a 6th one(5th order) as this is a replacement. Plus apple support has extended my return period until 28th this month.

it has the glow problem but from what I see the uniformity is great(amoled uniformity)

why you are seeing that is because the green subpixels does not turn off which means that is a calibration problem may be it will be fixed in next update let's see

you are fine bro :)

pls pls enjoy your phone don't let such small issue make you unhappy :)

I definitely see the green tint with my own eyes. Especially in settings in the dark- tho when pull the top of the settings bar down the top of the screen isn’t green it’s just the settings stuff. So maybe it’s software issue surely if it was hardware the top of the screen would be green even when I pull the top of the settings bar down?

Yes most definitely

As I insisted before the iPhone 12 series was a rushed series. Apple was expecting to use 120Hz displays on the iPhone 12 series, however, due to mass supply issues relating to the 120Hz display IC (they reverted back to 60Hz using previous components they already had in the warehouse)

The iPhone 12 series is a churner (previous parts slapped together and rushed to market)
