That’s interesting to read. Apple definitely has made changes over the years with the color temperature on their phones, I believe there’s quite a few threads on the iPhone X when it launched in 2017 with ‘Yellower’ displays (Plus that was the first year for the OLED panels).
You were doing good with this until you said Apple was changing calibrations.
Just like the myth of the glue, the myth of the intentional calibration lives on.
Every year, a portion of Apple phones are overly yellow. But there are plenty of phones that are cool, crisp and white every year as well. Around launch, the percentage of yellow phones seems to increase relative to the rest of the year. It is a defect, full stop, 100%. This isn't glue, this isn't 6500k, this isn't true tone. This is a defect.
Some phones have this, some don't. The phones on display at Apple stores do not. Therefore, I can only assume that Apples intent is not a yellow tinted screen. Therefore, yellow screens are defects.
No more excuses, no more justifications. If your phone is yellow, take it back, it's defective.
Just bought mine today. 11 Pro.
Same yellow as those here in the topic. Read whole topic. Seems like it's a lottery with a low chance to win.
Can't even compare with my Iphone 7, white one (even comes to blue, which is better IMO), and 11 Pro, which is so yellow. It is so noticeable after you just switch from Macbook Pro.
Did anyone get used to it? How is it going after 1 month with a phone? Any feedback? Maybe you got used to it, someone even wrote it became whiter over time (don't know how could it be, but still)

The ol’ AMOLED Lottery. Erica Griffin the YouTuber often finds her OCD also forcing her to exchange when she gets a device like this, unfortunately it happens a lot with AMOLED displays.
You can exchange it, cross your fingers you don’t get another one like that.
HAHA! What a scene and what a show!

Similar to my situation, same no Apple Store in Portugal , so they are saying I cannot return it or get a replacement!!!Bought it in the US during my trip. Have no Apple Store in my country
BE AWARE if they advise you to go to an authorized reseller for a replacement, they will give you a refurbished one not a brand new one !!! I don’t know but the pictures and videos look yellowish as well!!!!
For someone who saw the joke you still seemed to have fallen for it given your reply
Disclaimer: I tend to be very unsympathetic about display complaints, in part because I think most people expect a screen that is too cool. However, with that said -
I happen to have both an 11 Pro Max and an XS Max now, at least temporarily. (Problems with corporate email and iOS 13.).
Like profets, I didn't really notice a change when I gave Apple back my original XS Max (IUP) and got the 11 Pro Max.
However, side by side, the difference is startling. I'd say the photo in profet's post above is very similar to the difference between my 11PM (left) and my XSM (center). I'm not complaining, just observing, FWIW.
