Do, you think for the trade-in promotions and the buy I get one of Iphones, do you believe that Apple gives the defective or the lower quality units for example the yellow tint or raised blacks on the iPhone 12.

Apple doesn't offer any trade-in or BOGO promotions. But even if they did, the answer would be no.
But all the carriers do and all the reports of yellow tint and raised blacks are the phones that were not bought from Apple directly, so there is something fishy going on.
First, Apple isn't responsible for carrier promotions. Second, your assertion is false, as evidenced by the numerous threads here. Complaints of tinting cannot be correlated to the point of purchase. Third, carriers would have no way to identify "defective" phones even if they wanted to push them out as part of a promotion. Remember, all iPhones look the same when they are in the box. It would also be illegal to do what you allege.
It used to be very common in Indonesia to “reseal” iPhones. But consumers are getting smarter and they understand about date of activation and greenpeel now.
Sorry, I don't agree with your assessment at all... If you have any evidence other than your opinion please post it....
100% just yesterday walked into a T-Mobile store traded in my Old iPhone 8, for $830, And walked out with a new iPhone 12 ProMax paid in full Stimulus cash $400 Mothers Day Promotion.
No yellow tinting.
