Wondering if anyone else is having issues with green tint on the 13 series phones. I got a replacement one for green tint and the replacement was even worse. I’ll attach the gray image I’m using to compare. I notice the green tint mostly on lower brightness settings.

I moved the phones between two of the pictures so that’s why the more green one is on the other side. One of the pictures is at the lowest brightness.

Yes plenty of them are green (or red or both). Yours is really green.
Samsung is surely aware of it but they have to ship millions of displays whether they’re perfect or not.

But in reality- nobody really looks at anything important at minimum brightness except the clock on the Lock Screen or a notification or email. None of that requires accurate color.

My biggest issue is I use my phone at night a lot and even with night shift on the screen is still green which messes with night vision.
 
Is it green if you switch the screen to grayscale?
Sometimes I use grayscale because all the intensely over saturated colors throughout iOS start bugging me after a while. iOS color palette is like crack eye iCandy.

Update: Apple told me they won’t replace it because they compared it to other 13 PMs and they all had green tint.

I recently got my mums xs max and I have the exact issue. but my Mum’s 13 pro is free of this problem ( until now I guess )

Normal to have a little tint due to the way displays are made. Kind of like the silicone lottery in terms of thermals v power.
 
That's a definite upside in the LCD iPhones of the past, all of them had excellent screen uniformity. Unfortunately it's become a lottery, and that really brings the overall feeling of quality that Apple used to be known for down, significantly.
 
No green tint for me on the Iphone 13. My main complaint about the Oled screen is the lack of brightness in sunlight. I use mine daily outside for keeping score while disc golfing and it just lacks brightness.
