I’ve read a lot of posts here with people who have had bad luck with their screens with issues such as red tint, green tint, yellow tint and uniform issues, I would really like to now hear from those who got lucky and managed to get a nice crisp even screen with no tinting issues and please if you can post photos of your amazing phone ?

Nothing is perfect. it’s only perfect if you don’t look for the different tints? I love my screen. So I guess I’m lucky. It has promotion and it has no jelly scroll. (I did notice the jelly scroll on the iPad mini only when I looked for it). You will not be happy if you start looking small imperfections. With anything. Noa if you’re screen is half red and half yellow. Hmm. Then you got a problem. I’d return it.

That’s the problem my screen is half yellow and half blue with some red tinting.
 
Sounds like a hardware issue, easily returned and exchanged, mine is crisp and clear.
 
Mine is great. Compared in dark to my 12PM which is nice and crisp but more yellow tint by comparison with same settings. This one is cooler but also more crisp even than my 12 PM. Tried with and without True Tone enabled - very pleased. I’ve had a bad screen several times before; this one is great.?. SB 256.

My unit, no complain, works perfectly fine
 
Full brightness is not the issue. The issue with these screens is in a dark room, <50% brightness with True Tone, dark mode, and night shift on. The best way to check is in the Clock app while editing an alarm.
Well i checked and looks fine. Looks warm obviously but it’s even. But I don’t see the reason to go that far out of your way to look for an issue either. In a dark room, anything last 1/4 brightness is way to bright anyways

Wow. You have true tone and night shift on? 🤣
Instead of alarm clock look at the Google maps settings screen in dark mode, more revealing. Sorry I don’t have a camera to take pic of said screen hence a screenshot to show what screen I’m referring to.

Yes. I like having the whites of the screen match the surroundings and a bit of yellow at night to help with sleep (even though a study recently showed it doesn't...). It hasn't been an issue with my previous iPhones. Do you have this same issue too?

But wouldn’t you expect a 1,000$ device like an iPhone to be almost perfect? But perfect is subjective.

That’s true. But I am able to replicate it without TT turned on and it’s so bad that it’s very obvious even in the Settings menu. You can get the scroll bar showing and it will slight orange/red whereas my 11 PM shows true grey.
 
Seems fine here. Photo taken with iPad so quality is meh.

Still waiting for my back ordered 13 PM. I seriously doubt I'll be looking for the tint unless it affects my pictures or the screen during daylight.
