No pics unfortunately as the first two phones I had were returned. It was a whole unit replacement. Very pleased with it!
Nice!
Mine is darker and yellower side by side with 7plus indoors. In bright lighting it
Looks brighter
Gonna see what apple says.
Kinda ready to give up tho
Yeah they said 5 for 5 employees preferred my x to my 7plus even tho my 7plus is blindingly bright
He refused to compare the two for a while and insisted different tech, even tho I’m well aware and have seen units with
Comparable brightness
Oh well would
Probably just get a worse one with rainbow gradient and get banned from repairs and truly be SOL
Absurd tho how arrogant some techs can be
I’ve had AMAZING experiences in general but every once in a while you get someone who takes issue with what you’re presenting right off the bat and in defensive mode
Without the screen protector it does look better But still not perfect. Oh well

There is definitely a wide range with screens on the iPhone X. I got two from the Apple Store in Indianapolis that had a very, very noticeable blue tint to them. I decided to order one from the Apple online store to see if it was any better. The difference is immediately apparent as can be seen in the photos. Both phones were set to the same settings (full brightness, no true tone and no night shift).

Yep! They both look almost identical when you look at them straight on. Move even the slightest bit off center and the blue one starts to shift color. The warm one stays consistent.
I think I would prefer blue one. My X is identical to your warm one but I’m not used to it because it has too different tone to my iPad, iMac & MacBook Pro.

Got my screen replaced back in December and it still had pink edges, just went back the other day and got it replaced again, seems to be perfect now no pink edges but shifts blue very quickly when angled. Not really a problem and am quite satisfied with the screen now.
Might be same specs but LG manufactured instead of Samsung. We don’t really know
The Xs hasn’t given me any good reasons to upgrade this year...however...I’m on the IUP, so I may as well. I’m going to wait and see what the wifes Xs looks like when it arrives, and keep an eye on the forums to see if the screens have the same issues as last year before I pull the trigger though. It took me 3 exchanges to get one I could live with last year.
Screen lottery again would be awful so soon... for people who have endured hell on the X
we do, it's still Samsung:
https://www.macrumors.com/2018/09/14/lg-second-supplier-of-iphone-oled-displays-etnews/
"Samsung has been Apple's exclusive supplier of OLED display panels since the iPhone X launched last year. Numerous reports have identified LG as a potential second supplier, as Apple routinely aims to diversify its component makers. "
We don't know that. Its entirely possible LG is in this round of XS and/or XS Max.
I can't wait until 9/21 when I start reading all the comments about horrible screens. Cannot be happier that I'm out of this ridiculous lottery this year. How many times did you have to exchange your X due to this?
