Hello, I'm a photographer and bought a Studio Display because I assumed photos would look the same across all Apple devices. To my disappointment, this is not the case between the Studio Display and iPhone.

I noticed that the iPhone's screen shows a cyan tint in the blues. It's difficult to show that on a photo due to white balance but I think the attachment shows the difference.

How can I adjust my Studio Display to show photos with the same colors as on the iPhone?

You'd need a colorimeter to figure out and adjust the ASD. How do you know it's not the iPhone that's off in the blues?

thanks! I compared it with a friend‘s iPhone screen. The colors on my iPad do look the same as the Studio‘s though!

I was buying a dark suit for my son's wedding. I liked a very dark grey which had very fine lightish pin stripes. I took a photo with my iphone 13 Pro Max, and sent it to my wife and son for approval. FAIL!! " The suit is far too light. We SAID get a DARK suit. "

And my wife has an iPhone too.

But it wasn't at all. The iphone blew the dark colour into a light grey suit. I got my wife to come into the store, and sure enough - "Oh, that's fine. Why did you send the photo of that light suit". The photo was of the same suit which I bought.

Thanks for nothing Apple. The iPhone's colour sucks. Even in such a basic and important task, as identifying how dark a piece of clothing is.
 
LOL. iPhone is not a measurement device. Auto exposure, auto white balance, auto shadows, auto everything.. It is made to make images of ones cat or flowers to "pop" and not to measure blacks. ;)

In theory yes, but here you are comparing two different screen techniques (iPhone: OLED vs Studio Display: LED-backlit).
