iPhone 15 Pro Max Screen uniformity and cast

My iPhone 15 Pro Max screen isn’t as good as my 13 PM, there is a slight brightness gradient from left to right (left hand side is whiter, right hand side has a bluer tint) which is noticeable at all colour temperatures with or without TrueTone selected.
Interestingly it has become less pronounced since I first got the phone but it’s still there and I find it frustrating especially as the previous phone was so good (the best iPhone screen I’ve had and I’ve owned every generation back to the 3G).
I did have a look at one in the store and it had the same issue so maybe it’s widespread.
I guess it means I’ll upgrade in October and play the lottery again, but I will return that new device if I don’t have a satisfactory screen because I don’t believe I should have to go backwards when it comes to product quality!

The 15 Pro’s seem to be ok in general, mine too is perfect, it’s the Pro Max’s that have the issues.
Apple nail the screens on the MBP, the MiniLed screens are beautiful. I wonder why they can’t replicate it with phones.
why could it be LG? it's good? it's especially on windows with 3tools it doesn't give me the serial number but it says N/A
I think you confusing “and” and “is” 😅 anyways…I don’t know. Hopefully someone more expert will answer your question.
my 16 Pro is a little more pink on the right side but it was bought from someone with the Apple discount so not worth the return/swap game
I was watching a video comparison of 15 Pro Max vs 16 Pro Max and you can see the subpar display of the 16 Pro Max here with the blue shift on tilt, whereas the 15 Pro Max has a perfect display here.

Discussed here as well. Yes, same panel lottery as every year.
Hello guys, I’m so grateful that I found you.
I got no one to take me seriously when it comes to minor details like screen colour and tints and shifts. My friends think I’m crazy or perfectionist or over reacting.
I just got a brand new15PM with a nasty GVC LG screen it’s perfect but with one flaw maybe two
1st: when I tilt the phone the screen changes to a cooler hue it’s very annoying, I thought I bought a phone that was tampered with until I found this thread.
2nd. Contrast is kinda poor comparing to my regular 15P with a Samsung display which is excellent in contrast, it’s also vibrant and has no titling shi*t. But with one flaw the screen is a bit warm.
Am I crazy? To overthink all of this? Are we all crazy?
By the way my phone’s power button is trash, it has an inconsistent clicking sound overall and it makes a weird cheap loud click when clicked from the very bottom of it.
Does anyone has this button issue?
Thanks
Sorry for writing that much.

No, definitely no. But we are the cursed ones who notice these things. I'm one of these people and I could write a book about how much issues I've had with display devices in my life.
