Yeah that’s how mine was and I replaced it today and have the same result. Kinda a bummer.

Dude I’m about to go to an X. I came from an 8 plus and have the yellow tint problem. Exchanged my XS Max today for another one and it looks basically the same. And the apple people looked at me like I was retarded when I showed them the tint and how it looks.

He/She just posted another updated picture showing night shift and true tone off. The fact that there are still people here that think its just 31 pages of us lying is just- I can't lol.

Meh! I just picked up another Max...maybe should've given it more time. It's only MARGINALLY better but really...not by much. It's still warmer than I prefer/warmer than my X. I will say it looks better when I throw the color filter on it than the old one did but still. I don't want to "have" to use the filter overlays!
I think I'll return the original and keep this one though. At least then that gives me another 2 weeks to return. I'll try to be more patient this time and wait the full 2 weeks haha.
FWIW...which I really don't think much...my original launch day iPhone was FK for serial #. New one I picked up tonight was F2

You know what, I'm a photographer and pay high attention to colors but knew nothing about OLED technology, therefore I started to Google why my screen has a blue shift. Read some reviews and assumed that it is a defect. Went to Apple store today and compared my phone to other 10 random display models and they looked exactly the same as mine. Therefore I would say that there is nothing wrong with OLED being blueish if viewed at an angle.
The blue is stated as normal by Apple. The intermediate pink shift on some is the issue. I might just let the whole thing go rather than quest after something perfect in an inherently imperfect product.

Coming from the X I see the same thing. True Tone is just pushing it farther into the yellow tone. They look similar with True Tone off.
Wonder if they’ll make an adjustment in the first iOS update for these phones.
My XS Max also is more yellow at the notch than down below. I notice it especially at night while night shift is on and on landscape mode.
Its a bummer. But I am too tired doing something against it. I have better things to do... and I think I could be the same with my new swapped phone. Anyone with proof (picture) that their screens have somewhat even color?

This a serious problem. My phone look exactly like the right with true tone turn off and like the left when i turn it on. Im happy with my unit
No not at all. Simply shocked. I am going to the Apple store to recomposes my XsMAX
I have 2 one starts with C3 and one DN... Both 256 gb XS good or bad?
[doublepost=1538131027][/doublepost]WTF is this mean:
I have a launch day XS that has slight yellow tint, That came from China Foxcom facility directly to me. I ordered another to compare screen quality to make decision on which is better, This unit, that I get Saturday is shipping from Carlisle PA. I looked it up and thats a plant where they refurbish units! Am I getting a returned unit that possible the plant said was ok and just reboxed? This is really concerning. I am leaning toward just keeping my original unit. The serial numbers of both indicate my first unit from China has a newer build date than the one from Carlisle,
Is this possible Apple is now shipping returns they think are good as new units?

That's how mine is too. I hate gradients like this and then view things like emails in landscape where it shows up most noticeably. It still betters my first phone which had both left/right and top/down gradients, and when tilting the sides went different colors! But I still classify this display as "quite crap"! Yellowness can change over time but gradients rarely improve.
People do perceive the gradients in different ways. In my office most see it has the top being darker rather than a different hue, but my meter suggests luminance uniformity is pretty good and what varies is what I see, color uniformity issues.
At first I saw that my XS Max was a lot more "yellowish" than my former 8 Plus. Day three and its strangely now more blue-ish than the 8 Plus. True Tone is off on both. Generally the XS Max is on the warmer side but only in comparison. On its own the screen is fantastic. I just switched the color filters back off and forgot about it.
Only thing I'm noticing is that the screen is a lot dimmer and darker than LCD. Is that an OLED "thing"?

I’m seeing this as well. It’s like True Tone is working double time. Wish there was a True Tone slider like night shift.
Every single X, XS, and XS Max I've seen had this "problem." I have yet to see one, even in the stores, that doesn't. I don't know how this is acceptable to Apple..
Thank you ! A reason more just to chill , I always buy a new phone every year. So could be worse 😉
Finally got a ‘good’ one. A gold XS Max (not my first colour choice, but I’ll put a case on it). Perfectly uniform, a little warmer than I would prefer - having said this, I do believe the calibration is in line with the display mate review. Has minimal blue off-axis shift. I’m done.

That's how my current one is. Better than the last but def still has this warm/yellow issue. Idk what do do anymore.
Yes. I’m a veteran at this. Only took me four handsets this year.

If your not happy, then you shouldn’t keep the phone - only you can decide. I was originally just going to stick with my X as it was perfect, but I had it replaced yesterday under warranty (for call quality issues) and the replacement has an inferior screen to my original X so I’ve decided to sell the X and then picked up my current XS Max this afternoon.
I’m keeping my current XS Max, because my screen is absolutely uniform with minimal off-axis shifting (and I can be a pedantic b***h when it comes to my screens).
