I bought my iPhone from the T-Mobile retailer, mine was manufactured during the 2nd week of December and I received it and saw that the contrast and the screen had a overall yellow tint. Instantly got annoyed about it, but kept thinking about it and decided to order one from Apple directly. I received it today and it seems like the new one is a lot better, the contrast and the grays and blacks look a lot darker. However, the white is still a bit warm, but is a very minor problem now. I think Apple might be fixing it slowly through the manufacturing process. I would recommend to exchange or return and purchase it again to get a different batch and try your luck

I spent about 90 minutes this morning with a really nice Apple Tech, and we tried multiple steps to resolve the "yellowish" issue on my iPhone12 Pro Max. He finally determined that I need to take it into one of the stores. Currently in ATL, there is about a 7 day waiting period for an appointment.

Honestly, had I not compared it to my old iPhone 7 (for work), the off-color white wouldn't have bothered me so much.

I'll let you know how I make out.

I've just been in a Apple Services, got an appointment from Apple helpdesk to change the phone, but today they said that they have got a service message from Apple to tell all the people that this is a software problem that should be resolved with an update; so the could not be changed .


So, I checked all the models there, comparing my phone, some of them had the same issue, but other no; this means that the screen is not equal to each other, not coming from the same vendors. This doesn't look like a good thing; not a good quality.


So, now, I don't know if to wait an update or call again the Apple Service to complain and ask for a change (in 4 days I don't have anymore the rights to give the phone back, so I'm concern to remain with a wrong phone without any help from Apple).
