iPhone 12 OLED Screen Issue

same here, my 4th replacement. previously had yellow/warm screens. and NOW this, between 100-0%, screen flickers, between black and grey. tired & disappointed, this was my first apple device. Never again, lesson learnt. talked to customer service again today, he said he cannot initiate replacement again now. i understand, will ask for refund now.

No it's a total new order. I now have a 12 Pro and a 12 Pro Max.

The 12 PM has also raised blacks, but less green comparing to the 12 Pro.

Comparing to the 12 Pro, the display of the 12 PM is a less bright.

until a major YouTube won’t bring this issue up, I don’t think Apple will even pay attention to this issue. Apple sold millions of iPhone 12 , how many people actually know about this issue? 100-200? Lol

//update from second call from Apple //

the person who incharged of my case will talk to a senior engineer and will gat back to me in two days with “solution” claimed. He told me sending back my devices to the repair center in Prague (for Europe) is useless which I agreed, as I told him I do expected what answer the repair center will gave me after sending the device and running the same analyst tool, telling me the screen is perfectly working.

So I very clear with my goal - I told the customer service I just want a normal OLED screen that’s it. Either is replace my screen or exchange, I don’t care Apple replace it nor échange a new phone i don’t mind but I just want a normal screen. ☺️

will get update everyone after I have a deal (if)

@Dx1d hi can i ask you something ? how many times can u ask for a replacement before they stop ?

im from France and i have the same issue, pro max produced in china week 43 from your website... but how can u know what type of screen and the details of the device you'll have for replacement before you got it ? maybe i missed something.. and how do you know the panel manufacturer too ?

thanks a lot xD

The problem is still there but less obvious. Not sure what’s the issue anymore. When I took a raw picture of the night sky and edit it to the point that only the stars are glowing and rest it’s black, on my iPhone 12 Pro Max screen it’s glowing at all brightness levels while on my wife’s XS Max it’s pure amazing!!! Blacks are not glowing while still seeing the stars...

Thank you for your advise.

Yes I did now contacted with someone with higher level and he the one who take care in person my case. But it was really bad when he request a replacement device and apple france (sales) refuse to replace. So will looking forward after the second repair request from apple repair center. He told me, he will personally follow up the reparation. Finger cross ;) and wish you guys have merry Christmas in advance and happy holiday 😊

Im not sure if I have the same issue but this is the most blurry OLED of all apple's iphones!

Iphone XS Max and 11pro Max were foggy as well but this one is even more foggier!

I like the fact that Apple tunned down saturation level on all OLED iphones in order to have better color accuracy but if this causes iphones displays to look more foggy then either leave the saturation alone ( like samsung phones) or use LCD screens!

In fact , high quality LCD has the best color accuracy and that's why professional monitors use LCD!

Does your new iPhone 12 (no flickering, black is displayed as full black as it is supposed to be done) show any green tint upon slightly tilting? Looking vertical the screen looks a bit yellowish (may be acceptable) but if you slightly tilt a bit the topside towards your face the screen goes instantly green. Tilting the opposite direction this color change might be a bit less fast. Just curious bcs. by iPhone 12PM was so and I sent it back for a new one. Also the replacement was the same and asked for refund. All set now and wait for the iPhone 12S or 13 or whatever the name will be. With the 12 I am through. In particular bcs. Apple does not take care of his customers´ complain in this threat.

My friend has an iPhone 12 without the issue, he bought it in Turkey. He doesn’t have the problem. I checked his serial number and it seems to be somewhere in China, (code FF) and the production week is 43. I returned my pro max, picking up the new one on saturday. will post back if the issue is still there.

Only if I tilt the top phone forward by 45 degree so I see a slight greenish but who would read this way I certainly can’t

is it due to the angle or glass and nothing to do with oled ?

my iPhone X at 45 degrees top forward more of a bluish look

when I boot the phone a matter of less of a second when I see the Apple logo I see green but then it goes away and back to black

anywhere else I do not see it, tried all the different scenarios mentioned in this forum and no issue

Lesson learnt here as well. I used to buy iPhones with out giving a you know. But because of this phone, I will wait and see the complaints that arise and how widespread it is on next generations. And unfortunately for me, I am stuck with this phone(12 Pro Max) since I sold my Xs.

hi,thought id let you know my experience,and see if you can tell me anything about my phone or screen make?

this thread is going anywhere.... people who doesn't see any issues with their phones are nw looking for one.. that is RIDICULOUS... i mean ppl like me who came here noticed the issue without knowing it , and not trying to reproduce it ... it's simple, if your display behave as expected in a patch black room then you have nothing to do here.. enjoy your iPhone, i mean come one it's a bit ridiculous...

That’s great to hear, I hope mine also doesn’t have a problem, it will arrive tomorrow. I also think it must be a hardware problem, it the screen though but the ambient light sensor. And that this could be fixed in software.
