iPhone 12 OLED Screen Issue

Hello. I bought two iPhone 12 and both has the same issue. In dark surrounding on any brightness lower than 90-100% screen has this ugly glowing! Black pixels are not turning off in dynamic scenes. In static scene black pixels turning off after few seconds.


My video shows it in video and in clock app.

And this is comparison by another one person who have this problem but with iPhone 12 Pro. iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone XS screen.


That’s not normal at all. I post it to support and they said I should wait more. That’s just great...

iPhone 12, iOS 14

SO after getting two brand new iphone 12 pro max, after ordering Like 9 models , i can confirm all fot this weird LCD like screen in pitch black room on a blakc wallappaer in full screen in photos apps ( to reproduce the issue easily ) or even by jut booting each phones out of the box in my bathroom with no lights on , ( you see this grey flicker...

I got 2 12 pro max today starting with F2 week 51 of production, like most of the ones i got , it's way better than the last one i got starting with G0... the issue is still present but barely visible specialy on one model + no yellow tint...

So i send pics to apple, and they confirmed to me THAT THEY DO NOT READ THESE FORUMS... AT ALL...

if u cant this minor issue ( in their opinion and i agree ) to be fixed , you need to call them and spend 30 min or 1 hour max with tech support and explain them all of this.. issue is software cos it never happen with brigthness at 100% and when the phone boot at first, the screen is perfect , you see the apple logo and then the grey flicker comes for a few seconds, it means that so cores components that initialize when booting up like all the sensor in the notch must be causing a little software bug that most ppl do not see.

they do have enough reports of this specific issue.. if all the people here were to call them maybe they'll will really look into the issue.. i've send pictures to them, spent some time with them, and it's the only solution for a fix to be coming ASAP.

hope most of you will calll them . otherwise they may fix it when 13 is released..

Did I mentioned yesterday that my new 4. iPhone 12 Pro has another defect?

I was wondering yesterday what "clicky-sound" my new F17... iPhone 12 Pro does. I found out that the Taptic Engine seems to be broken. Everytime there is a Taptic-Feedback on the iPhone, the Taptic Engine makes an metal-click-sound. Seems like the magnet collides with the housing...


So the iPhone 12 Pro from the factory F17 is the worst one of all 4 iPhone 12 Pro!


Congratulations Apple!

Quality-control at it's best! 🤡

Yes, please do, this would be a very important point. If you see any pink or purple smearing in settings app please let us know. Normally I don’t see any smearing except if it is below 70 percent. On all brightness levels other than 70- 100 percent, scrolling doesn’t produce even a hint of pink which is smearing. My screen has perfect blacks without even flickering in videos between 70-100 percent brightness and shows pink smearing in settings.

probably XD I still got the link tho. Weird if its like that for real. I registered my iphone for service Ill see how it goes probably they will tell me theres no problem at all then ill bring it again and again if that does not work I guess theres no other opportunity but to sell the phone and lose money by doing that. If I have to do it i wont be buying iphones any time soon thats for sure :)

guys so even iOS 14.4 beta 2 fixes the yellow green tint problems? however, despite my complaints, the iPhone was not replaced in the Apple store or after calling Apple assistance for two months .. both in the store and online they do a simple software diagnosis .. why some of the device is it replaced and others not? everyone just told me to wait

Hey, thanks for the update.

Could you elaborate on that a little after you’ve done your testing? In what aspect exactly did the iOS beta lessen the flickering issue and did you test it with the same device that with the older firmware showed flickering to a greater extent?

What production week are they? And do they still show a green tint at lower brightness levels?

So guys i think there will be a replacement program after one year of shipping the defective iPhones, i just got my AirPods Pro replaced because of a hardware defect that i didn’t know about but got to know yesterday from Zollotech. My noise cancellation is not as good as it was before, i didn’t really pay attention but now that i hear, its quite evident and apple started a replacement program after a year of introducing the AirPods Pro saying that all the models shipped until one year could have a hardware issue and the replacement program for it exists. It’s a pity that the replacement program is so hidden away from us. Why don’t they make it public enough. Pity!

I am really starting to lose faith in apple. I was a die hard fan of apple and now its beginning to change.
