yes, we wish apple is here and paying attention. Probably anyone mocking us is Apple, because that is how I feel about how they’ve treated us over this issue.
I doubt the pro model is worse, just people who bought pro more likely to have high standards for accuracy/photography.
This is about accuracy, not about preference primarily. The view “I like pink whites” doesn’t take the discussion forward really.
in response to 3x, I will see if my TT off 12 is as bright and white as my old 10. I sold it to a friend. I think it is, but I’ve been reluctant to check in case it upsets me!
however, I did that check before I decided to sell the 10. So yes, I think with TT off there exist 12’s as clean as a 10.
True Tone itself is stuffed.
I will add one observation, even with TT off, I find the auto brightness aggressive. The sun came out on a skylight and I noticed the phone screen brighten disproportionately to the room and get really bright white.
I’m also convinced the video and pictures taken aren’t so good. Less saturated. The only thing better on the phone is night pictures.
