iPhone 12 Pro Cyan/Blue Screen Issue

iPhone 12 iOS 14.3

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.

I have been using an iPhone 12 Pro since November 2020 and never had this issue before.. In the past two weeks, had this issue twice... everything white on the screen turned Cyan / Blue but it only lasted a couple of seconds.. maybe i just closed the app and it went away.. tried recording the screen when it happened for the second time but surprisingly, it looks fine in the recording.. anyways, my question is, should I get my iPhone replaced? I am ok with it being happening only a couple of times in two weeks and that too, only for a few seconds... will the frequency increase with time? Has anyone been able to find a solution?

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.

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.

Mine does the same thing the screen those blue sometimes it doesn’t even communicate when you touch the screen it’s brand spanking new I paid over $1600 for it and I’ve also noticed that it freezes now and also the speaker when it’s on text to speech freezers and jumps not something I thought I would get from Apple I’m very disgusted!

I was thinking about going to the fair consumers commission board and maybe having them look into this products defects on a worldwide scale!

for shame !!! @apple

This happens with me today. I scrolled the tiktok and the screen turned to blue. I pressed the power button and turned off the screen, then pressed the power button again and the screen went back to normal. Is this a problem which needs to repair? Or this is a software problem?

Wanted to do a picture with other Phone but then it turned back to normal I have 12 pro . Here that Apple 12 models have hardware issue .. what to do now with this expensive phone .?

Just experienced this issue for the first time today, it was for like 2 second when I was in a app (tiktok) but I do not believe that it was the apps fault because even the power logo turned blue. And for me it wasn’t a cyan it was a dark blue.

I had the same issue! All white is cyan.

I was using Facebook app, even closing it and switching to the Home Screen everything was white becomes cyan.

turning the screen off and on again it returns to the normal behaviour.

i have iPhone 12 Pro 128gb with latest iOS.

I will contact apple if this happens again.

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.

Just bought iPhone 12 5 days ago after deliberating buying one for months to upgrade from a 7.

My screen turned white and then blue eventually returning to normal. I’m hoping this doesn’t happen often as I am enjoying it..but this looks like a common software issue? I hope there aren’t phones with defective hardware and this is an issue that can be addressed with an update.

i’m not pretty sure is a software fault, yesterday I contacted apple that makes a diagnosis of the phone ... all seems to be ok.

at moment apple stores are closed due to Covid restrictions, as they will reopen I’ll try to talk with the Genius Bar.
