iPhone XS Max - Yellow Tint

Hi All,

When looking at the iPhone XS Max direct there is a yellow tint, however, if you tilt it slightly upward or downward, the screen color looks perfect. Never had this issue on last years iPhone X.

- True Tone disabled.

- Night Shift disabled (also changed to less warm).

- Reduce White Point disabled.

- Color filter helps a little by adjusting the hue and intensity, but yellow tint still bleeds through a little.

Have any other fellow Apple users noticed this?

Thanks.

iPhone Xs Max, iOS 12

ATTENTION: YELLOW SCREEN IS SELF FIXABLE! I noticed this yellow tint on my iPhone XS Max and was obsessed on fixing it. Finally figured it out and it looks better then my previous iPhone X and earlier phones now. In fact, it’s perfect now. Follow my directions:

Disclaimer: Make sure True Tone and Nightshift are off first. If the yellow tint is still there, which it was in my case, here is the fix:

No More Yellow!

Visit your Settings App > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Turn on Color Filters
Tap Color Tint and verify it’s checked
Navigate to the HUE slider and move it left or right until you reach your desired screen look. (I personally recommend this setting at around 35%)
Then adjust the INTENSITY slider left or right to suit your preference (I personally recommend this setting at around 65%)

Want additional brightness?

Additional optional setting:

Visit your Settings App > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > TURN OFF Reduce White Point

I’ve attached a screenshot of my settings, If you have any questions, or want me to send you additional screenshots of the perfect settings, feel free to email me at **** and I’ll respond as soon as possible

I can confirm it will improve over the first days in some cases.

My first unit was so badly yellow - that that display would never get acceptable.

Return it if it is badly yellow. If only slightly yellow you have to decide if you can live with it.. it will likely improve somewhat and the replacement is likely to be likewise or worse..

Yesterday I went to the Apple store they told this very slight yellow tint for the iPhone XS Max is normal for some display and they can’t replace the phone! Although last time I got a replacement phone when I bought iPhone 6S and when I reached my home I checked my email I got an email stating that it’s refurbished device! Which personally I don’t like as its someone else used device! I don’t recommend replacement now ! Apple what’s going on with your customer service?
