So after about a week of use on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, I’ve noticed that the top left area of my screen is darker without True Tone on. When I turn True Tone on, the top left portion of the screen looks much more yellow/brown than the rest of the screen. This is most noticeable when my brightness is lowered. I’m not sure if this is a hardware or software issue but it is extremely distracting. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi, it’s not a software but hardware issue.
My Z Fold 2 (main screen) has a mild colour cast, I went through several 12 mini’s to get an even screen, returned several 12 Pro’s to get one which was merely ok. The point I am making is that OLED manufacture works on the principle of lithography and the majority of screens will come from an area of the wafer (outside the centre) that is uneven to some extent so the majority of screens will have minor to major colour cast and brightness variance. My 13 Pro will arrive on the 9th October when I’m back in the UK and I fully expect the screen to have some degree of this issue. If it’s immediately noticeable I will return it, but with the supply issues this year it will have to be very obvious to go through the grief of waiting a month or more and play the game to get stuck into a new replacement loop.
Every screen is different and this issue cannot and will not be solved with any software update.

No, but I had this on an iPhone in the past. It may burn in to fix it or it may not. You can return the iPhone for a refund and buy another one, use your warranty to get a service replacement or wait.
I have the exact same issue, except my right side is darker. I contacted apple about it and they said they're aware of it and it will be fixed with the next iOS update.
That’s great to hear that it’s a software issue. Thanks!
