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

Same problem with my iphone 12 pro. Got it on the launch date. Really disappointed by apple.

Did anyone check the screen with “True Tone On” in sunlight/bright light?

Truetone adjusts the yellow tint perfectly and iPhone looks normal.

Just wondering if in that case would it be Manufacturing Defect or Software?

Maybe it isn't specifically an iPhone 12 or OLED problem. I bought an iPhone 11 last week and noticed the display colors are yellowish/greenish when compared to my old iPhone 7 and my MacBook Pro 2015 with Retina. I also compared it to some friends' iPhone 11 phones and mine is the only one that looks that way. The colors don't look right even with true tone, night shift and color filters disabled. I played around with all kinds of settings and still got no luck. I've never been so unsatisfied with Apple.
