iPhone 12 Green Tint || Display Issue

Hello everyone!


I finally received my iPhone 12 on October 20th and immediately noticed that I was effected by the now infamous green tint issue plaguing many iPhone 12/12 Pro units.


Many have reported that they've gone in and gotten the whole unit replaced, which ended up changing absolutely nothing. However, I still went to Apple - earlier this month - to get a replacement as I was curious. Everything went smoothly. Replacement was free of charge, no questions asked, and it was a display replacement - NOT the entire unit, which I was happy about.


They swapped displays in store and the process took an hour or two. When I got my phone back, even with the bright Apple Store lights, I could tell that the issue was gone. Blacks displayed properly and grays were actually gray. There was no green tint at all. Days later, I notice the green tint again when restarting the iPhone. This was the first time I'd seen it since. I dismissed it, for whatever reason I came up with at the time. However, as time went on, I noticed that grays were a little more... Well... Green.

I dismissed that as I thought I was just being paranoid. Nope. Not even close. Turns out, the green tint issue slowly came back.


So, here's what I'm asking:


A) Has anyone gotten just a display replacement? If so, what was the outcome?

B) Did you notice this tinting return, assuming that the new display initially fixed the problem?

Tommaso193,


Sorry you're having this issue on a new phone, Since your device is under warranty, you can use the link bellow to make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar. For safe measure, try simply restarting the device if you have not already. Click on the link bellow and scroll all the way down to "Hardware Help". There you will be asked for the issue and should be able to make an appointment with the Genius Bar to get this fixed.


Good Luck,
