iPhone 12 OLED Screen Issue

You are lucky to get fixed. But all of us aren’t. I never had the green tint issue i had this dim glow. Anyway its not fixed in mine. I have another issue in my phone. There is a whitish spot on my screen if i look it off axis but if i look straight its not there. Its there from since I bought it. Does anyone knows what it is. My brother bought the phone from UAE and he did not check it well and i never had this problem so i did not ask him to check that also. About tint i knew 12 series have it and hoped apple will fix it and trusting apple bought it. But this spot please someone let me know what it is

I see this green line always but only if I open the YouTube application on my iPhone 12 pro and start a dark video, and increase or decrease the volume .. when the volume bar appears this green line appears that I hate .. more increase the brightness and more you can see .. for the rest I have no problem with green tint but only the classic yellow calibration of this year's iPhones that we all have .. if I open YouTube from safari the problem is not there because the volume bar has a different graphical interface .. I don't understand if it's a bug on all iPhones because it's a YouTube bug or just mine.

Whomsoever said that green tint has been fixed for them in latest 14.5, can you check in the same way as shown in the above quote.

Let us know, if you can replicate it.

I have the same problem, Apple send me a new iPhone two times now, I think they don’t know what to do. I still hope for a software issue.

I can confirm this problem. Three iPhone 12 Pros (2 in Germany and 1 in the USA) have this problem. It’s really a bummer how such an expensive phone has such a major problem with the display. My iPhone 11 Pro was perfect. I’m returning it and hope the iPhone 12 Pro Max does not have this problem!

I’m having the same issue here, when my iPhone 12 Pro is below 100% brightness the pixels do not turn off when showing true black colors, instead I get a kind of grey/green light similar to what an LCD display shows.

Same. Screen keeps turning on with a light green/gray when it should be totally black. Noticeable in the dark when viewing a photo; the black bars around the photo light up in a weird way that didn’t happen on my iPhone X.

Having the same issue on my 12 pro and my dad's one, and they will flash when watching black video with under 70% brightness. I have checked my old xs and x, both of them do not have this kind of issue. It's so weird.

Yep can confirm I am experiencing this on my iPhone 12 Pro created a case with Apple and they are going to escalate it...

Seems no point changing the device at the moment as the replacement will almost certainly have the issue too, hopefully it is software which I think it could be as OLED is mature enough to not have issues like this unless there is a very large number of faulty displays in the supply chain.

The yellow/brownish tint and reduced contrast are not as bad with True Tone turned off. But, it is still noticeable compared to iPhone X/XS. Unfortunately, personnel in our local Apple store is not very knowledgeable. They “didn’t have time” to run a test. So, I returned the whole unit. I’ll wait until problems are solved. No need to settle for a workaround with a >$1k phone!

I have the same issue. This is my 2nd iPhone 12 Pro, the first one was returned because of another flaw that these models are exhibiting with the yellow tint. The replacement, received on 11/6, also has the yellow tint albeit marginally better however the raised black levels are pretty noticeable especially in a dark room. Both units were manufactured in week 40 production. This is unfortunate and I really can’t deal with repeated returns now as the original was purchased through T-Mobile online.

I have this issue too and it’s annoying.

I went to Genius Bar today and they ran diagnostics to the display. Everything came out passed. The specialist told me that if its a software issue, try to reset the phone and setup as new, do not restore from backup. Turn off true-tone. She set me up for a phone call on Thursday to check whether it solves the issue.

But actually I don’t think my backup interferes with system files or any hardware configuration. Its just a standard procedure to ask us to do when they do not have any advised solution.

I have the exact same issue and its driving me nuts. We don’t have Apple Stores here where I’m currently at so I have to go thru the “authorized resellers”. I’m not sure if I should take it or wait for and update.
