iPhone 12 OLED Screen Issue

Same as mine, I tested they tried hard to fix the issue but unfortunately it still there…. Playing YouTube with flickering on the dark background like crazy (I think it get worst on mine) , still raise black on the black background (when preview image or in the apps). Btw, in clock apps they fixed hahahaa. The background show pure black 🤪

What seems a little strange to me is this: How did you even show them / make them see raised blacks in the store by daylight for them to offer you a screen replacement? I also have raised blacks but I could never demonstrate this to anyone if we weren’t in a PITCH black room and at least gave our eyes a minute to adjust.

Same goes for the YT Video. If I’d record a video under the same circumstances you wouldn’t see any issues, just “perfect” blacks like in your video. BUT if I go pitch black with only black as background (no other bright elements on the display) you’ll see a slight glowing grey in the background.

Sorry for being suspicious but we had so many people lately who came back after a swap or repair who thought it was fixed for them only to discover a few days later after closer inspection that it’s still there. The only thing I read so far that really seems to be a good indicator of really being unaffected by the raised blacks issue is having a LG panel.

Maybe you can elaborate on that a little more. Thank’s for keeping us updated! :)

I’ve been using my new 12 Pro Max for 4 days already and the issue hasn’t appeared.

The display is 100% perfect under every condition and test. Pitch black room no raised blacks, no green or gray tint and 0 flickering in Youtube videos at all brightness settings.

I know how the issue looks like because I had it on my 12 Pro which I sold about a month ago.

My 12 Pro was on 14.4 and my Pro Max is on 14.4 also but does not have the issue. I guess its hardware, how can one phone running the same software with the same display show different behaviours?

I have a March manufacture date and definitely when opening that video and changing volume the whole top of the phone lights up? And at any brightness. I’ll see what they do at the apple store tomorrow

Yup the Green tint issue hasn’t gone yet, It’s actually has become better and worst at the same time, like I keep a black screen as my BG for my lockscreen and as I swipe up to unlock, I see a weird pattern believe it for not but I guess the green tint issue has become better for video watching and I wont say It’s fixed cause I did notice green tinting on few videos.

this is a problem with the YouTube application, they should update the application .. the problem has been present for months even on previous iPhone models, I don't understand how a company like YouTube has not solved this bug

Yes my 12PM had this issue. This year there are many problems with iphone 12 series

1. Green tint
2. Dim glow
3. flickering of camera 4k 60fps
4. Red Ghosting while scrolling

these are the issues I had with my 12PM. My xs max did not had any of these issues. Regret selling xs max. I sold my 12PM i am happy with my decision because I can’t live with these issue after paying 1400$ Shame on you apple.

It’s now July 2021 and it takes three to eight seconds depending on what’s on screen for the black pixels to change to completely off instead of a very faint green. It’s *just* noticeable enough to bother me, looks like an LCD rather than an OLED but then why did I buy an iPhone 12 and not an iPhone 11? iOS 14.6. Not a good first impression on a new iPhone user, Apple!

I’m glad I’ve returned both of my 12’s with the green glow and yellow tint as it’s been 9 months now and apple still didn’t fix this - which confirms it’s the low quality screen issue and they just don’t care about customers.

Well, I have a close problem of this, my oled pixels don’t turn off when it should be, like, I am watching a movie, the borders is dark like oled but when I touch the screen it turn on, and the hole black scene turn on too, and if im watching a YouTube thing and there is a black scene it shows like oled but if the hole scene is black, otherwise it turn on the black of the movie, and if I put the brightness on 67 or higher it shows like oled, but there is a catch, if I am on clock, settings , or another app that have the black part, it have a delay to the pixel be back as it should, like: open shortcuts, then wait 10 seconds, swipe up to go back to home, but you are on a gray background, or you are on App Library, you will see the shortcuts background, if it is closed, But the pixels

are “opening “ again because of the delay.

search on YouTube about iPhone 12 burn in, this is what is happening on my iPhone when it is on oled mode, but this is happening since I activated the iPhone, I searched a repair here on Brazil on a certificated store, and they sad that it is NORMAL, NORMAL, I’m upset with it ;-;, if you can help me I would be proud.

Also have this issue, checked every 12 pro I could get my hands on, all of them have the same behavior. Possibly a large proportion of 12 pros are affected.

I think it’s a software issue too. Something has changed with this beta, it’s still there in some instances, but it’s not as bad anymore.

I‘m not allowed to share the link here. But maybe if you search the name of the thread:

iPhone 12 Pro “raised blacks” display

The max and min brightness works for me only one time, then it keeps glowing no matter the brightness level is.....my iPhone X works perfect!!
