I was wondering, if we should take photos of two or more display separately and post them individually or stitched together. Cameras tend to correct white balances. Correct me if I’m wrong.
 
Here's mine and my wife's 13PM with zero percent brightness using the gray pic going around at 3 seconds exposure. They both have decent uniformity to the eye.

Just a suggestion, choose the one that has a more uniform screen to you.

You can always adjust the screen tint to your liking in Settings/Accessibility/Display & Text Size/Colour Filters/

Adjust to what seems acceptable to you.
Indeed. But the purists on here don’t want to use color filter. They claim it reduces nits and makes it too dark for them to view their display 🤣 I personally don’t have a problem with it.

They don’t look uniform at all to me from the pics, maybe the second one is slightly better. If you can’t see anything wrong from day to day use then don’t bother wasting your time playing the OLED quality control lottery.

Yeah the night mode exaggerates it but yeah not worth the lottery because the chances of getting anything better are very low.
 
L

are you referring to my photo of my phone? Sorry just a but confused

Yes, I assumed you took the photo of your phone without any shift in angles.

Anyway, if you do not notice anything, it’s fine. Don’t let us judge your display.
 
Has Apple’s OLED panel quality always been this bad since it was first introduced in the iPhone X? Or is this all recent? I wouldn’t know since my last phone was 8+ and that’s a pretty good uniform LCD display.

To me that doesn’t look uniform at all how does it look to you when your using it?

The uniformity seems better for me since the 11PM.

I didn't notice anything significant with the XS Max or 11 Pro Max. The 12 Pro Max was the first device that jumped out to me as a having a bad display due to the green tint at night.

iPhone X had the best display in my opinion.
 
The off-axis color shift on these OLED panels kind of reminds of looking at a 3D card, turning it different directions and the image changes. It is more subtle than that but still. I would say that the display on my iPhone only really "suffers" from off-axis color shifting. I do realize that a perfect OLED is very hard to come by, hence unicorn-gate.
