cos if it's true i'll do another return..

Thanks for your feedback.

for the volume glow on youtube it's a bug from the youtube app..

Yup, in the pitch dark room. And all the usual tests. Even during bootup , no flickering, perfect dark. I had already returned iphones in the past with the issue, so I know the usual test scenarios:) so yes the phone has no issues with the raised black except for the weird volume icon bug on YouTube app.

so is it a hardware problem? Apple has repeatedly stated that it was working on fixing it via software. Instead, did it continue to deliver defective displays? What will Apple do with those who have not returned and still own the defective phones?

i have ordered 2 brand new iphone 12 pro max to see if this is true , i dunno what to do , do i cancel both and wait for the software updates, or do a try and see for myself.. at least you 'll have more data.. cos each time i gave here the first 2 serial number and the production week .. i'm at my 5th iphone 12 pro max... 2 are coming on tuesday.. it's true that it is suprising but maybe Apple found the thing that does this and rectify it on the poduction line.... i dunno i'm a bit lost..

I really wonder if Steve Jobs never passed away. The products that were released during his time as CEO are almost perfect and much affordable than what it is now. He addresses every problems and setup press conference to answer each problem with good reasons why. Ever since iPhone 6, everything gets messy and ever-so-pricey under Tim Cook. He's the real for profit only CEO, riding on previous successes under Jobs.

This thread, 84 pages and on, never once answered by a community administrator. They clearly are downplaying to not affect their stock prices. There are many more issues and they are not addressing them. Imagine having $200B in reserves and can't even get themselves fix the **** issues in a timely manner. They release iOS updates like pizza in a conveyor belt. They even angered developers when they release iOS 14 at one day's notice. Clearly it's because the Apple Watch Series 6 would be released the following Friday. Once again, a move for profit.

I'm really rooting for Apple to be the best in hardware/software/services integration. Right now, when I see any Apple product or services, I would immediately think they're buggy (especially the first versions) and I don't want to pay them to be a "beta tester". I hope they start to really innovate, not just on some, but as a whole. Stop putting more money into marketing with alot of disclaimers.

Agreed. Though, in my case as mentioned before, I can't return nor replace my phone due to me not noticing this issue early and selling my Xs. So, sadly, and I hate to say it, I am forced to live with whatever this defect is (hardware/software).

Though as a customer now, Apple has left a dent in my trust, and it will be bigger if this issue isn't software and turns out to be hardware with them being silent or silencing the so called "big YouTubers" so that they don't lose their privileges of "early access and invites", and they start a year later a program to replace these displays and saying at the top of the letter "Only a small percentage is affected", which would be aggravating to all of us.

Either way, because of this device, it will be hard for them to get a sweet grand+ out of me.

it is true it is absurd and embarrassing for apple this situation. I decided not to sell my iphone but, if they don't solve the problem, it will be my latest apple device. however I did not understand one thing, this is a forum reserved for apple customers or even some apple employees? why no One of Apple support answers after all these pages?

the one thing that angers me most is that we all have been told, verbally, that apple is aware of the problem and to wait for an update but there is some comment written by some employee or some official press release? all companies can have problems, especially in a period like this, but a company like apple should have released a official statement talking about the problem ..my fear is that no solution will be given .. at this point I expect everything .. let's hope so, I still want to trust apple

I agree and feel like once Steve left the company... the Quality( also remember 5 years long disaster butterfly keyboards on macbooks ) and Innovation( no revolutionary changes anymore ) was buried deep down in the ground.

It’s not possible that after months apple didn’t fix it yet! We spent a lot of money for this new iPhone and it’s not correct that most of us has the same problem and Apple don’t let us do anything.. We cannot change it at the apple store and also with the last software update the bug is not fixed.. i’m really sick of it

I‘ve installed iOS 14.5 public beta now and it didn‘t fixed the raised blacks for my iPhone 12 Pro…

Is the Beta 2 available for public beta yet?

Can you tell us the complete version-number of iOS?

I have iOS 14.5 (18E5140k)

Everyone is talking about how their phone’s green tint on pure black display/image is now fixed. But how about on grey display/image? Could someone confirm here if the 14,5 B2 fixed green tint on grey images?

I do not plan installing bet@ softw&re because I don’t want to risk my main phone.

Mine’s good and no green tint at pure black images at all, but when it goes to dark greys, that’s where it goes when green tint is very noticeable yikes

i m waiting for ther public beta so this means that it was not a software issue , cos for their wording it seems more like an hardware issue, and they try to reduce the green or gray glow with software, i do not care if it really works..; i'll terst it on public beta on my 8th iphone 12 pro max, but Apple could not make a recall as of now, because they need to sell and dont put the brakes on iphone 12 success, but i bet we will see a recall after iphone 13 will be released.

It’s very frustrating.

I switched from the iPhone 11 to this (12 pro) because of the oled screen and this is what they have to offer?

It’s embarrassing. There are 400$ phones with better screens than this 1200$ one.

Apple, get your sh**t toguether and solve the problem, this is unnaceptable.

At first (before the 14.5 beta 2) the issue was mitigated by just using a non-dark wallpaper, but with this “fix” the only way to use the phone without getting frustrated is to use it without dark mode, because now even the lists are fu**ed up.

Apple. FIX THIS or offer a remplacement.

I applaud and thank the people here that have returned up to 9 phones. Without them kicking up a fuss and going through all the hassle Apple might have taken the problem even less seriously than they already have. An oled screen that can’t show true black is unacceptable on a phone this price. £150 android phones can even do this.
