iPhone 8 yellow tint?

I returned my iPhone 7 within 14 days because I wasn't a fan of the yellow tint of the 7's screen (same as 6s) - even with the workaround using the accessibility settings that was promoted at the time.


Regardless of right/wrong/preference, has anyone done a side by side comparison of the screen images of the iPhone 8 to the previous iPhones back to 6 (which has the tint i am looking for 🙂)?

this is a comparison between my BRAND NEW iPhone 8 (left) and my IPhone 6s Plus that ive had since February 2016. YES i adjusted the color temperature, YES i adjusted “true color” feature (on and off), YES i adjusted the screen brightness... ETC. So, NO its not a “settings issue”! Already re-packed it and will return it. The yellow tint is just too much for my liking...

That doesn’t look right at all. Ive just gone from a 6S to thre 8+ and can see a slightly warmer shift, but nothing like the above.

Have you played with the settings in Disaply Accomodations? There are a few things you could try, but I’m guessing you have done this already (and shouldn’t need to anyway).

I received an 8 plus for my wife from my phone provider. A week later I received my 8 plus (30 Sep). I can see the difference from her phone and the one I have, my phone display is yellowish. My son received his yesterday 1 Oct, out of the 3 phones my phone has a yellow display. Heading to the Apple store today to resolve. Or will be returning.

I am on my 3rd, yes 3rd iPhone 8, and it is going back for a refund as the yellow tint is ridiculous and the screen is muddier at lower brightness on the bottom third. This has been the worst yet. Where are Apple sourcing there LCD panels from??


I would have stayed with the 8+ which was a lot better, but it is too unwieldy for me.


If i get another iPhone its going to be a 7.
