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

Lots of people in Korea have this problem too, I just hope that it can be solved by software update.

When I boot up my iphone 12pro, and when I watch dark video especially including black color, the OLED doesn't show me the complete black color. I really hope that it is just a software bug and can be fixed by software update.

So, we need some kind of collective claim to Apple. Pretty sure they’ll loose this one. I want a normal display, not this defective one.

Yea, that’s what I have too. I’m guessing yours exhibits similar issues.

I like how they keep playing dumb.

— What? A display flickering? First time hearing that! Try to reboot your device. Already done that? Then just keep your system up to date. Bye.
