iPad Pro 12.9" Screen Darker When Compared to iPad Pro 9.7" and iPad Air 2
While comparing screens at the Apple Store, I noticed all the 12.9" Pros on display had faded screens compared to the new 9.7" Pros, the iPad Air 2, and my own iPhone 6 Plus. I made sure True Tone was off and all display settings were equal. I compared using the calendar app, as the difference was more obvious with a white background. Apple staff were unable to explain the brightness difference, which was seen on the new 9.7" Pro, the older IPad Air, and my own phone. One staff member cited the 9.7" Pro's newer screen technology as the cause, but that doesn't explain why the Air 2 and my iPhone 6 were also brighter.
I want to check at another Apple Store but haven't had the chance to get to one yet. Since I'm sure people on the forums have multiple iPads, I was wondering if you could compare them and see if there is a difference. The 12.9" Pro had a yellowing issue after launch, but I don't think this is the same problem. I haven't been able to find any other mention of this problem online.
I took pictures while I was there. The 12.9" Pro has my reflection on it, but you can still see the faded screen. I wasn't able to get the iPad Air on there because it was on another table. I really want to buy the larger Pro, but not if there's a problem with the screen. This fading was seen on all the Pros they had on display.
