iPhone 12 Pro Max still has green tint screen after updating to iOS 14.3

I‘ve been told by that Apple has been aware of the issue and will roll out a fix for it.

However, I updated my iPhone 12 Pro Max right after iOS 14.3 was released. But the green tint issue still exists; pixels seem to glow green instead of going to completely dark in low-light environment. Is this a hardware issue that Apple cannot fix? Or Apple prefers to recall all the devices a year later.

Green tint appears on my device with below settings:

Cold winter: lower than 0 degree celsius when I'm jogging outside my house.
Dark mode.
Adaptive display.
Low brightness: around zero brightness.

Look forward to Apple's reply on this.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Guys I actually tried something that worked out for me. I’ve had the green tint since day one and it was very annoying, specially at night time while watching videos. My green tint was horrible, like as bad as it could get.

I simply tried turning off True Tone & night shift and, problem was solved. I don’t know which one of both options fixed it because I turned both off, and don’t even want to risk turning any of the back on, but it immediately corrected the green tint and it has been days and no sign of it.

And when I say my case was a bad one, believe me. I had read all the forums looking for a solution, all the comments on videos to see if some one had a fix and nothing.

I don’t know if this will be a solution to everyone because I don’t think it could be such a simple fix and no one say anything about it, because I have not read of anyone propose this as a solution, but it was for me.

ust wanted to update on what got it fixed for me and hopefully this will help some of you guys out.

Have the same issue - a green tint to my screen and photos is I try to take a pic on 1x in low level lighting. I have sent my phone back to Apple twice and both times they have returned it stating they can find no issue! Guys I spoke to in customer care was helpful and he took a full description of how to replicate the issue for when I sent it back the second time but still no joy.

This is a screen shot of the green tint that comes on...it isn't even that dark I just took it under my desk where there is less natural lighting! Frustratingly if I take a photo, it also has the green tinge.

Yeah yeah I have the same scenario too. Whenever the lighting drops below a certain level, it has this weird green tint appearing on my screen. Funny how expensive we spend on these phones yet still getting these problems.
