iPhone 12 OLED Screen Issue

@ShrEddi:

So tell me, if it is a feature, why apple dont say it to us? and how you explain, that there are iphones from the 12 series, which does not have this flickering, not even when the iphone boots up?

thats unacceptable from Apple , I watch a review for their new XDR monitor and it’s not that great per reviewer when compared with the Sony reference monitor. But it’s Apple and can price any piece of garbage by stamping it with Apple logo.

I don't know whether a hardware error or a software error, but the pros and max have the lightening / flickering black more or less. I don't care whether Apple can manage it via sw or start an exchange program.

My 12 pro Max does it but I only notice it during the tests. In real use I have not noticed it at all. If it is hardware and Apple offers a replacement there is no way in **** I would swap out even if they paid me. Im a power user and even with backup/restore I finally have all my accounts and passwords reentered after 2 week. its just not worth trouble for a phone I will trade in in about 11 months and don't even notice the issue.

Do you think I should ask for a replacement straight away? I’m sick of it already. I hope they are allowed to service my phone.

Apple have clearly advised technicians not to take into account this problem for the time being as they are working on a fix, or trying to at least.

Bonjour, je suis Belge et j’ai aussi un problème d’écran OLED sur mon tout nouveau iPhone 12 Pro Max 256gb commande le 12/11/2020 « Europe ».

lorsque je met l’écran en luminosité minimum j’ai une bande au milieu à droite de l’écran elle est constamment là et j’ai l’impression de voir une sorte de tache en halo au dessus et en dessous moins visible que la bande au centre, c’est horrible je n’ai l’impression de ne voire plus que cela !

I see some OLED issues regarding the iPhone 11 Pro models but I think they’re different since they’re are experiencing a green tint overall whereas the iPhone 12 series has problems with the true black areas being lit up. Do you have any articles or discussions regarding the problem that the iPhone 11 had? Would be of great help.

The “yellow tint” doesn’t bother me because it’s not something like night mode, it’s a very well calibrated screen. If you pay attention to calibrated displays , whites tend to look more warm. I am only concerned about the blacks not displaying correctly on a OLED display.

Get one of each color until you like it🤪

I scheduled to replace my phone next week Monday but I won’t be expect any differences regarding this issue. However if there is a difference I’ll keep you guys posted.

I have the same issue !

in Dark Room It’s annoying!

first i tought it’s just my problem ,

After Reading Others Comment It’ seems like apple Must Fix It!

i think after new software update this problem should be solved . ( hope ) 🤨

Thanks for the vids, i got your posted link through an email notification from this Forum here, and you are right. The videos shows exactly what you said. So there are iPhones out which don’t have this flickering issue. You won the lottery!!!! Keep it its really rare 😉

and I’ll send my second iPhone 12 pro back and order a new one again, hopefully this time i can win the lottery too

Perhaps I personally won the lottery, but the situation at all is very sad. I mean, you buy a over 1000 euro device and the most costumers out there don't realize the failure. My girlfriend has buyed a 12 Pro Max yesterday too – pure black, no flickering. Dates of both devices.

Production year : 2020 

Production week : 47 (November) 

Factory: F2 (China, Zhengzhou - Foxconn)

I tested my new iphone 12 pro from week 49 again, and at the boot up there is no flickering, but when i watch the black youtube video or a black image it starts to glow. what does this means now?

and really hilarious, if i put my screen brithness at 100% and open a black pic it start to glow grey.

i could not make a video of that because it does not adjust in die end the black level so you can see the glow. but i made some pictures

Can you please tell me how I can check the production date of my 12?

Btw, I returned mine and got another one, this second unit has a less severe issue, it’s barely visible compared to the first one, but it’s still there.

If this is ok for you, keep your defected iphone and be happy. for me it is unacceptable to hear from apple "It is the best display ever" , and in real it looks like ****.

And with your "solution" on, you have to know, if you edit (especially editing colors) a pic on your iphone, and send it to an other device, it wont look like your want to look it because its only a filter thats work on your display. is this what you want?

Maybe there are some iPhones out, with the best display ever, but then it is like a lottery, and thats not ok, if im paying 1200€.
