iPhone 12 OLED Screen Issue

right with eyes you see almost a grey glowing. Only camera shows the glowing effect as green.

Ot is terrible how much communities report the same and no one of those who has exchanged his phone, still have the same issue. No one could say, yea after switch to an other 12 pro the issue is away.

The possibility that I get a 12 max , next Saturday, without the error is getting less and less. ☹️

wow now i am seriously confused. How a direct picture of my screen with the two buttons on the iphone shows me this yellow/green tint picture. the yellow follow a circle! As child we learnd never to play with an magnet nearby electric components. But todays iphones have a round magnetic field to positioning the wireless charging cal it MagSafe!

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a connection here.

So someone mentioned this and it helps. Turn your auto brightness off, it causes the grey screen/flicking to only appear under around 70% brightness. With the setting on, I would notice the flickering around 90% or below. This seems more like a software bug.

Update: Just did a jitter test (moving up and down in settings ) on my old iPhone X and found a lot of purple smearing (between the grey and black portions of settings) on low brightness (less than 90%). While at 100% you can see no smearing.

On iPhone 12 pro max however lower brightness you can see no smearing, and same with max brightness. It could be a software technique which was not implemented correctly to prevent smearing, like was previously said in a previous reply. Though I need a iPhone 11 model to test my theory

I promised to report when I get my iPhone 12 pro max.

See of the following pictures.

Left the new 12 pro max right 12 pro.

First picture shows the Settings, I could see a better grey. On the right the grey is slightly yellow/green.

The other pictures shows at first 100% brightness. Both phones are perfect black.

Second pictures set show at first the around 50% and the last set around 30% backlight brightness. In all of this brightness the Max looks perfect. Lust but not least, my Home Screen where the issue also slightly visible.

My 12 pro max has the same issue, so I think it must be affected.

also this thread is mostly just speculation and discussion about the issue to bring more awareness to the issue, so anyone looking for support should call Apple support.

I am very concerned of screen issues as well. I have an iphone X and the screen white and brightness is significantly better than my new 12 pro max (Regardless of any adjustments in the Accessability color tint section). I went into a store near me and their display was normal. They are sending me another but I can tell you for sure if it is the same issue I am returning it. Sad because I really wanted this phone. I will update if the new screen is normal.

Same thing here on boot and on dark screens either whole screen turns green or the scene I’m watching the blacks turn green or the top left corner and left side flicker green on black backgrounds as if the phone was damaged . And to think we were disappointed about this years features and with little innovation still get a flawed product .

You would think Apple would have fixed it within two weeks if it was software issue which is so widespread.

sounds like hardware issue then unfortunately, the question is how many iPhones are actually affected.

I saw a youtube video that iOS 14.2.1 is coming soon I fix three issues. Hearing aid bug, SMS group something and Lock Screen bug for iPhone 12 mini and screen flickering issues.

I don’t know how reliable this is.

Looking at the original picture when you compare iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone XS screens, you know where the green glow is, isn't this where the MagSafe magnets are located? Magnets could cause some interference and affect the screen, if this is the case then there's no way to fix that with iOS update, Apple will have to release new phones with some kind of shielding added...

I’m still thinking it’s a smear/smudge reduction technique that’s bugged as you first said. Just because if it was the magnets it wouldn’t matter if the screen was static or not, it would flicker constantly.

I just got a call from Apple. The support staff has now received a message from the engineers that they are aware of the problem and are working on it at full speed. Whether software or hardware is still unclear. A software update will either be released or an exchange program will be offered on support.apple.com in the near future.

That's good to know however if it's a hardware issue and every single iPhone 12 is affected, how long will we have to wait for Apple to come out with a solution, manufacture updated iPhones and distribute from China? Just thinking in the worst case scenario - it could take months...
