I still don’t see the pink tint at the bottom. If you can see it in person that is something but to me I don’t see it.
I put arrows where I see the red tint and in the middle it’s a bit bluish

When I look at it it’s got red tint at the top and bottom and slightly blueish in the middle
Well it’s how it looks in real life to your eyes that matters, are you still within your return window?
 
I can only see it at 5-7% screen brightness anything above that I really can’t see it and dark mode looks really good
Question is. Do you really need to use the phone at that lowest brightness setting? If you think that the issue only happens around 5-7% then maybe another approach is just don’t use your phone at that low brightness level. Lol. But really it’s your device. If you are really bothered by it. By all means get it exchanged.

The reason why I exchanged mine couple days ago, I thought I had a uniform screen but for some reason I noticed that in bright light it was uneven tint in light mode, that’s why I returned that one and I got a new one and this one does not do That in broad daylight. All uniform, also in low brightness in both dark mode and light mode, there is no hint of any pink/red/organge tint.

i think it’s more of the fact that I know it’s there rather then anything else

The photos I have seen of other iPhone 13 models where there is a tint issue, the picture seems to amplify the tint more. In your case, it is the opposite. Very interesting.

It is interesting I also can’t see it in the photos I took, also I shouldn’t of said pink tint it looks more like orange tint at the bottom and top, what’s even more interesting is that I took a snapshot of a white background and when I look at that photo it looks really even no tinting issues whatsoever then when I switch to the settings app within 2 to 3 seconds I see that tent reappears then I will switch back to that white photo and the tint will slowly disappear within a few seconds and then when I go back to the Settings app again it reappears very strange and I don’t know what to make of that lol
 
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.
In my personal experience the iPhone X had the best OLED panel. It’s been on a decline with every model since then. Especially since the iPhone 12 series.

Decided to give it another shot to take the advantage of the extended holiday return policy as my other device was not and had uniformity issues. So returned that and picked up another one on Friday. This one is perfect. No pink tint issue in darkmode low brightness. Everything is just perfect and is a keeper.
Lucky! How many tries did it take ya?

I can see it, hey that looks almost exactly like the issue I had/have. Reddish gradient coming from the top, greenish gradient coming from the bottom ?

My previous device exhibit the same issue, it super noticeable under the normal condition, like day to day activities.

I’m going to try my luck for the third time once they have some in stock. If that STILL ends up having a defective screen I’m just gonna return it and wait it out for next year, hoping the quality control improves, this is ridiculous.
 
Anybody facing stuttering or flickering on their 13 pro max while using any apple apps or even third party apps .
Twitter, youtube or even app store has stuttering /flickering on my device.

please comment on this.
 
Do you think it’s worth exchanging?
I think no.
As long as it is not very bad stay with the phone. And yours is not so bad :)

I think it is not worth the time, money and excitement.
My 13PM also has little bit uneveness in brightness from top to bottom.
But is even from left to right.
I think there is no 100% uniform OLED screen out there …

I also found out it is better to have a uneveness from top to bottom, because if you read a text you don’t remember it. If you have a uneveness from left to right it sucks more. I had this before on my 12 Pro Max and I often have seen it.
Every 12PM and every 13PM I had, had some uneveness :/

It’s funny or sad depending on how you look at it, when exchanging a device that has a tint to one with no tint it’s so exciting at the time. Until a few days pass and you realize that it too had tints but not as bad as the original one
My current panel appears to be much sharper in displaying fonts and such. But that could be my imagination. Cue those threads about washed displays. Lol

That sinking feeling…I can only imagine how frustrated one might feel

Here’s the display models at Best Buy. 🤣
