I wonder how many users out there are facing these display issues as far as percentage wise globally? Does anyone have the statistics?
I think a lot, but almost no normal person will "see" this. They will all say it's perfect, even with yellow tint. They don't look at the devices the way we do. I don't know anyone I think who knows that with OLED screens black pixels are turned off. So how would this know they have a problem? They simply don't care.
Yes in my 12 pro Max. No raised blacks anymore with 14.5 beta 2.
Green tint and raised black are the only ones that got fixed on this update? How about the warm display? Or our screens are really calibrated this way? (I like the warmer screen though 😂)
I don't think warm display issues will ever really be fixed as every display has a different tone to it. they are all slightly different due to OLED, and also different manufactures. They can't just fix all displays with an update. What they could do maybe is just give us all a slightly colder tone too it in an update for everyone. Not too much though. This is why I think a very yellow tint will never be really fixed.
I just can't live without a 12 Mini anymore, it is too perfect for my needs, so I ordered another one and hope this will only have a slight yellow tint and no washed out colors. I could live with raised blacks, but not with washed out colors as the screen is so small that it is even hard to read in some apps with good contrast displays.

When I played the video my iPhone seemed to be off. So that’s means pure true oled black 
thank god
thank god
Sounds like that tech repairer is talking out of his a hole, clearly it can be fixed via a software update, users on this forum are saying it’s been fixed with iOS 14.5.
I’m seeing all of the issues still. I am thankful this guy is covering this. Please don’t say “this issue has been fixed”. It might have been fixed for some but not all. So please be specific in saying it was “fixed for some”. Whether it’s hardware or software well, when is it ever hardware? Pretty much never. I will probably go for an exchange soon though as I find this unacceptable many months later.
Yes sometimes the screen turns all green. For example, when signing in after restart (beta bug), the entire screen is very green. Raised blacks is the bigger issue though. And UI overlays during video play back causes a blooming type effect.
Hopefully the next beta or final release fixes the issue for everyone else, not worried, i'll either get a replacement from apple in a couple month time if green tint is still happening, or apple will have a replacement program.
If a replacement program happens, it'll cost LG and samsung a fair bit of coin, two trash companies, can't be long now till apple start producing their own displays for all their devices.
People that still have the green tint issue, has it been fixed on beta 4? 🧐📱
I checked it now since public beta is available, too. The raised black error is still visible in the Photos app for images with a black bar. (Beta 4 / iPhone 12 / G9P Display)
Looks like apple might have to start giving out replacement phones soon.
Haven’t been following this thread in a while. So green tint and raised blacks are separate issues? I was under the impression that the green tint we see in photos are due to the camera effect used by the person taking the photo of a raised black issue. Someone please educate me.
Update for iOS 14.5 beta 4.
I have been one who’s green tint and raised blacks were not resolved previously.
Green tint:
My green tint has been resolved as far as I can tell. In fact, now that it seems to be gone, I didn’t realize previously how much my screen was pushing green at all times. Now things are grey when they are supposed to be. Very pleased.
Raised Blacks:
Still persist.
1. Permanent raised blacks in the black bars when viewing a photo in the photos app.
2. As I’ve described before, there are temporary raised blacks in the black bars surrounding video content in most apps when summoning the UI overlay or touching the screen. I can see the black bars becoming raised temporarily, usually flashing in the same pattern each time the screen is touched and then it’s fades to true black. I will say since since my green tint is fixed the temporary raised blacks are less offensive.
