install 3utools on your pc and connect your iPhone.
Click on “Verification report” and then you’ll see the screen serial number
This is my 3rd iPhone 13 Pro. Previous ones replaced due to broken box seals and call failed issues. Im happy with my screen this year.

Looks just like mine with just a hint of red towards the top.This is my 3rd iPhone 13 Pro. Previous ones replaced due to broken box seals and call failed issues. Im happy with my screen this year.

That requires a Windows PC. There is another way to do this directly from the iPhone. Settings->Privacy->Analytics & Improvements->Analytics Data. Scroll down until you see a entry that begins with sysdiagnose. Select it and then bring up the share sheet. I copy the zip file so that I can access it on my Mac computer. On computer, I unzip the file, browse to the ioreg folder, open the iodevicetree.txt file with a text editor. Search for raw-panel-serial-number. You can also copy the zip file to iCloud Files and access the files from there.install 3utools on your pc and connect your iPhone.

One will need to hold both volume button and the side button at the same time until you feel the haptic vibrate, that will generate the sysdiagnose.
Right on!! However I’ve been through this for years and even mid-year cycles can be bad, sigh … Foxconn QC sucks ass big time, always has and always will. It truly is, a lottery.
I decided to keep mine as well even though it is not perfect. I also don‘t have the time and the patience for that lottery. It is quite sad that this is what Apple QC looks like for their very expensive and „pro“ devices. There are really good ones out there but also way too many flawed ones.
Next time around, I think the best thing to do is buy 5 new phones at once, pick the best one and send the others back. Not really an option, I know, but it would ensure a halfway decent device and not the hassle of replacements over weeks and months.
C‘mon Apple, you can do better than that!
It will be a lottery. Even if you did get another one, it could have the same issue. Just know that there is no such thing as a perfect iPhone, just gotta pick your poison.
I got a second 13 pro that had a really good display but several scratches in the frame and the sim tray couldnt be inserted all the way in, so I will just keep my not 100% uniform one and stop caring from now on. Still annoying for this ridiculous price point
I'd rather keep a 100% uniform screen. I don't care about scratches on the device. lol
Try tilting the phone to the left when you see the red hue in the right side. I believe this phenomenon is called color shift.if you’re not looking at the screen bang center color shifts.
haha u know what is the worst thing? I live in the country that I don't have access to Apple Store, I just purchase from authorized reseller, which I would get my device one month after official release.
so, I have no option to return as well as to swap at the store, I just need to hand device to the local Apple Technician and wait 3-5 days for result.
is there any way to fix this or any other possible method to reduce the effect? it's annoying for me
I don’t think so. I remember I noticed the same crap with the s21 ultra Samsung. But some are more some less. But all do it. Try a mat screen protector or use color filter setting in accessibility menu. You’ll lose a little brightness but the colors can be adjusted to your taste at least.
You’re absolutely right, but I don’t notice it in daily use and on the other device the sim tray didn’t seal properly with the casing.
100% I would’ve kept uniform device too
You tried re inserting sim tray a couple times?
Sometimes the rubber gasket can snag or not sit right
After hours on the phone with apple support, they offered to extend my 14 day return period for my launch day 13 PM to 30 days (10/24). I went to pick up two new iPhones today, one Sierra Blue and one Graphite (left and right respectively). Don't mind the incorrect screen protector, I replaced it with the 13 series one afterwards 
There must be something wrong with the Graphite models this year, or I just got really lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you see it). My launch day phone + 3 ERS replacements + this new one all have varying degrees of orange tint. The Sierra Blue is not perfect, but it's the best one that I have seen so far. No gap above the earpiece and a flush SIM tray too.

My OLED display is perfect and the only thing I care is that there is a little piece of dust in my front camera which doesn’t effect my photos.
I am in dilemma if I should start the lottery game , I am not in a country with Apple Store.
