In person it looks very even with no noticeable colour cast, based on what I’ve seen here I got lucky on my first attempt for both screen and build quality.
My silver 13 Pro Max is pretty much a great phone, uniform screen, no noticeable tinting. No issues with defects anywhere on the phone.
You have been even luckier than I have then as it would seem chances of an even screen on the Max are way lower than the standard model.
By the time he finds the unicorn panel the iPhone 14 will have arrived 🤣
Did you wind up trying your luck again or just sticking with what you got? In my opinion, this or any of the other QC issues will not be resolved (if at all) anytime soon as they try to pump as many units out of the factory to try to keep up with demand and also through the holidays. QC might actually get worse. I’m almost chalking this up to it is what it is at this point. If it’s not one issue you get now it’s another one (or two).
I did, and it's gotten to a point where the time, energy, and cost (gas is $4.50+ here) is starting to become not worth it for me anymore. I also don't want to get in trouble for returning multiple phones in a short timespan; my CC company might also start wondering why there are so many $1,748 charges on my card
Screen issues aside, are you noticing other manufacturing defects with the units you’ve been through? That is also becoming consistent on the ones I have been through.I did, and it's gotten to a point where the time, energy, and cost (gas is $4.50+ here) is starting to become not worth it for me anymore.

I would love to get a uniform screen like some people have posted on here, but I think I've gone through 5 new retail units and they all are just varying degrees of bad. It seems like the odds of getting a decent Pro Max screen are incredibly low.
One of the ERS units came out of the box with a pretty noticeable dent at the top left on the stainless steel band. There were also micro scratches along the bottom band. I thought Apple replaces the outside components that users touch? There's no way that someone doesn't notice that type of thing, since the dent caught light
Warmer tint is likely just how these phones are. To compare apples to apples make sure night shift and true tone are off on both phones.
We could see micro-LED on the Apple Watch first and then on the iPhone. Mini- LED is an LCD backlight technology and they definitely won’t be using that on the iPhone.
Why would Apple use mini-LED on MacBook Pro and the iPad Pro. Are you suggesting energy efficiency of mini-LED is not great?
If it were me I would take it back and have get you another display or refund.
Tried that but was told the gap is likely due to a “human error” of not applying the glue correctly and thus the only alternative that was given to me was they will try to re-apply the glue. I’m beyond pissed.
Have you tried to call Apple Care and complain how your situation was handled not to your satisfaction?
Thanks for the info. It‘s good to know that Apple store does have in fact have the screen parts to replace rather than the whole device.
Mini LED is for larger screens as you can’t fit enough (currently available sized) LED’s in a small screen to give accurate localised dimming and the issue of blooming is present to some extent, there is also the issue of display thickness. Mini LED is a stop-gap technology for larger LCD screens to produce better contrast ratios.
I considered display replacement for my original launch day phone too, but I decided against in case the screen protector breaks and has to come off, possibly introducing new micro scratches onto the glass (assuming they change the actual panel and keep the front glass). Also what if the new display is even worse?
My 13 Pro Max has one tiny gap in the upper left hand corner. It isn't anything you can see (even with a magnifying glass) and I only know it is there because I carefully positioned the corner of a piece of paper and part of the corner slide in. I would say that my phone is probably an excellent example of someone having a really good day on the day that they assembled my phone. They even gave me an excellent display. ?
Have you posted any images of your “excellent display” as I’ve yet to see an even 13 Pro Max screen.
Unfortunately, I don't have anyway to take pictures of my "excellent display" right now.
