iPhone 12 Pro Cyan/Blue Screen Issue

My phone just did the same thing, while I was charging it. I closed the app I was on, and it didn’t make a difference. I also locked and then unlocked my screen, still had the cyan tint. I also took it off the charger to see if it made a difference, (it didn’t).

I assumed I had accidentally turned something on in visual accessibility. I turned on white point and changed the %, and it went away. I turned it off again and then the cyan tint came back. So I turned it on again, and the screen was normal. Then I proceeded to turn white point off again, and the screen didn’t have a cyan tint... I don’t know what happened.

This is what I did—

settings

Accessibility

Vision-> Display and text size

I turned on Reduce white point and changed the %, and it went away.

what I did to fix it is to restart the system. I shut down the phone then wait for 10 secs. Then turn it on and it worked.

worked for me … I had to turn invert off.

Same issue occurred while replying on WhatsApp. White colours turned to dark blue, came out and every App or Home Screen was the same. Restarted the phone and it fixed. By the sounds of things this isn’t going to go away and it looks like it’s a problem Apple are struggling to solve if it was first reported in Oct/Nov last year.

i repeat, for such an expensive phone this is disappointing.

I want to say something. I don't think this is a real hardware issue, certainly not on the display side.

IMO, this is a software bug related to interpreting surrounding colors/lights and trying to change the screen temp to compensate.

this is also a similar issue to Airpods pro over-correcting ANC and causing clicks as a result of these edge cases.

It is entirely possible that in some edge case, the sensor returns incorrect or invalid data, causing the screen to try to overcompensate.

contact Apple or return it if u are still under warranty! It’s not normal

I have 12 pro max and i had face the same issue last night i restart my phone and then it back to normal.My phone is only 1 week old.I am very disappointed. Apple needs to fix this issue as this issue lasts from 4 months.

Just had mine now and i immediately restart it. I thought it was my eyes having a vision problem.. That was scaaarrrryyy.

I restarted my phone (iphone 12) latest IOS and it turned back to normal.

same thing happened to me about an hour ago. iphone 12 pro 256 gb 97% just had it 8 days.

i was on safari (ikea site) when i looked away from my phone, when i looked back all the white has turned cyan, i thought i simply had selected all text by mistake but no, it would go back after. 3 minutes so i reset my phone and it went back to normal.

I'm hoping this won't end up never being fixed as i'm sure we all didn't pay so much money just for this stuff to happen.

Hi, I was watching Youtube and at first some bright details went to cyan. Arter 5 sec all white went cyan. Closed Youtube but stiil all white was cyan for a minute. Wanted to do a picture with other Phone but then it turned back to normal. Found a image from Reddit.

This just happened to me now. I was scrolling through Facebook when it happened. I pressed the power button to turn the phone off then on and it all went back to normal. I’ve had my iPhone 12 for only a week as of this writing. 🙈

I had the same experience today, happened twice within a 5 minutes span. I restarted the phone, hopefully doesn’t happen again. I tried to screenshot it but it reverted to normal afterwards so I think the defect is in the screen itself.

Purchased my iPhone 12 Pro back in December. Magsafe wireless charger was not working after a few weeks of usage. It turned out to be a hardware issue so Apple gave me a replacement phone with a lead time of 1 month.

Just 2 weeks in from getting the new phone in March, I'm getting the same cyan/blue tint issue you mentioned on my display. It's happening intermittently at least once a day. This is frustrating having another hardware problem with the new iPhone. What is up, Apple? Tried reaching out to Apple Support but no fix is offered yet.

I get why they replaced your first phone, because it does sound like it was hardware, but this blue problem is definitely software and so that’s why they won’t replace, because it would still continue on the new phone. We just have to wait while apple fixes the software, hopefully they will see this discussion and start working on it.

Since a lot of us are having this issue, I don’t think it’ll be a hardware issue.. it might be a software issue which may get fixed in the upcoming update... but 2-3 minutes is a lot of time.. did you try locking and unlocking your screen during this time?
