iPhone 12 OLED Screen Issue

I agree, the yellow tint looks really bad and you shouldn't have to waste time trying to fix it yourself by changing hue and using workarounds.

This is basic functionality and apple was doing it fine so far with all previous iPhones so the best iPhone that they've ever done (iPhone 12) should not have a FAULTY SCREEN! Especially for this price tag.

Yes I agree we should receive a perfect screen. I remember when Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone 4 with Retina display he talked about how important a screen is saying “A screen is a window into your phone”. He is probably rolling in his grave now.

Amen to that. Totally on the same page. Their calibration of whites is completely off and cannot be fixed with software so it’s manufacturing thing and so a flaw in the design.... such a shame voor this expensive brand. This is the last iPhone I ever bought, the most expensive one too but I just hate the screen colour so unusable for me and my eyes. Even my son s iPhone 6s has a nicer lcd panel to look at :-). Will stick to my X till it dies end the buy another brand with perfect screen. Fed up with the fact that Apple doesn’t recognise this as an issue.....but for many people it is clearly an issue.

Guys this thread is specifically about the green tint and flickering issues. but it is slowly turning into a 65 pages of various apple rants. Can we keep the topic limited to the issues at hand? inacurate whites, true tone feature, apple now vs apple then, are not a part of this problem. I’m following this thread to see if anyone has any update about the first two issues, or to help people having the same issue. But having to read through all these irrelevant posts is making it really hard to get any useful information out of this place which totally goes against the purpose of the thread in my opinion.

Sorry for mingeling in here then. I thought this was a forum where everybody can speak but according to your rules it’s not.

I will not post anymore so you can find your own answer and the rest of us not.

many thanks for your understanding and collegiality. Hope you find YOUR answer soon.

It is not my answer or your answer or anyones answer. I’ve been here from day one. and lately i am going through 20-30 posts every day with a really small percentage really has to do anything with the actual problem at hand. You’re free to speak your mind of course, if you have anything to say about the issue that this topic was created for, or if you are somehow contributing to the people having that problem in anyway, go ahead. These are not my rules, it’s just common sense. my message was not to you alone, don’t take it personal.

Ironically Tim Cook said something similar 7 years ago why OLED not good enough for iPhone DOH!

Tim Cook says you can't trust the color accuracy of OLED displays, and he touts the Retina Display as a superior experience

"What Apple does is sweat every little detail," he said. "We want the best display, and I think we got it."

Anyways, if you don't notice issues with your iPhone 12 don't go looking for them because you will as this very long thread shows!

Returned my iPhone 12 and still waiting on refund. This is why I don't recommend returning iPhone unless you absolutely have to since in California anyways cannot return in Apple store so have to mail it back and wait up to 5 days to get refund whereas in store get it right away!

I might try iPhone 12 again when store open back up so I can try to get better display than I had if iPhone 13 doesn't come out before then. Not worth the hassle at the moment :( Hoping my iPhone 12 display was just a bad batch but can't afford to play panel lottery until pandemic over :( Compared my iPhone 12 mini to a iPhone 12 max and display looked way better and had actual whites like current iPhone SE so maybe they got lucky and got one of the good displays or maybe like someone said more QA or better panels used on the highest cost iPhone 12 max?

Really missing the camera of the iPhone 12 was best I ever used on camera phone that was for sure! I notice how much slower autofocus on iPhone SE2 I'm currently using in comparison not to mention way worse picture and video quality :(

Apple just shipped two brand new Iphone 12 PM to me hat i've ordered , i will get both via DHL monday...

For the one i already have i have asked for a return today.

I know there is a possibility to know you Machine serial number before you got it from apple , but i dunno where to look, i've looked to the shipping confirmation , tracking....

can someone help me or have any info ? it will be useful to see what production week , factory and display brand they are.

Thanks whom anyone who can help xD

wouah never seen it so bad... im complaining for mine just because it had a yellowish tint out of box that i color corrected with color pickers, and when in pitch black room the screen will be visible even with a pure black picture, the OLED light doesn't turn off... i've ask for a return, and i will get two new iPhone 12 pro max monday so i will be able to tell you if one of both even are perfect...

Hey all, iPhone 12 in hand here. I dunno if it qualifies to be posted here, because I don't have a green or yellow tint, no colour inaccuracies, but I noticed some illumination when in certain apps. For example when watching a YouTube video in landscape and changing volume, when the little volume bar appears I get white illumination from end to end on my screen, not the whole screen but like a finger wide around the volume bar. I'm posting mainly to give hope, because imo it's a software issue. I tried recording a full black video to recreate the problem, but it doesn't happen . Volume bar shows, but no glowing illumination. Hope it gets fixed and everyone gets to enjoy a true oled experience.

My phone has this for instance , if I am in a dark room on a FaceTime call that’s dark the screen flickers a gray like pixalized all over the screen and gets bigger then smaller . I did an express replacement but the new phone is having the same issue . Is this normal ? iPhone 12 Pro Max

Perhaps YouTube, I tested it on my gf's iPhone X and it did not happen, as far as I know the X has an oled as well, correct me if I'm wrong. Furthermore in regards to my earlier post, it doesn't matter what % brightness I'm using, with or without true tone/ auto brightness/ night shift etc

I also have this problem related to this strange illumination along the volume bar but I think it is software, in fact starting the same video through safari and not through the youtube app the problem does not arise .. but I have a very yellow tint and a green tint in dark environments .. I am waiting for a replacement of the device hoping it will be resolved
