Because I have no idea what I'm looking at? From your videos it seems like it's an auto-brightness issue. Does this happen when you disable auto-brightness?Why you ignore me 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
yes. Have you seen a slight flickering and color shift?
Look at the keyboard
I haven't seen this earlier. I'm worring about it
it can be software issue?
It's as if there's a slight dimming or flickering on the screen after watching a video,photo or scrolling through an Instagram for example which results in an uneven tint.

I’ve never seen that before, sorry. Maybe play with accessibility and auto brightness settings?
It doesn't help me. I have never seen this before too. But the main question, it can be software or not?
Likely software yes. Doesn’t seem to be an OLED color shifting issue as people are discussing here.
When this display bug happens, the screen looks green tinting at the bottom because it dims it. But when there's no this bug and I look at photos or videos in order to remove this bug for a few seconds until this bug back, the display's colors are perfect.
I haven’t seen that before, sorry. Maybe someone else can chime in. Otherwise contact Apple support if possible. There’s also the nuclear option of doing a factory reset to see if that helps.
Let us know how it looks. I’m getting my second express replacement next week and I’m nervous
Hi everyone new here.
I went through 3 iPhone Airs.
My first two were LG GVC screens (Both 256 GB Space Black). Not perfectly uniform (not as noticeable) but didn't like the quality of the panel.
My current one has a G9Q screen (512 GB Space Black). I like the panel much better but its not uniform ):
More warmer color at the bottom of the screen. Zero tint color from any angle.
Should I just keep it? Leaning towards keeping it.

Since it sounds like it could be a good enough screen, give yourself a 14 day worry free break to live with it. Do not think about the issue, or look for/try to notice it while using. If the issue brings itself to your attention multiple times during the return window, exchange. If you never notice it again under your normal use, keep it.
Doesn't seem to work on my Pro 17. It just toggles the power off. To clarify I'm pressing both volume buttons, as well as the lock button on the top right side at the same time.
Just to add I'm super happy with the screen, as it's completely uniform without any tint issues.
Edit: Figured it out.
G9N. Screen is super nice.

The replacement is a GH3 that looks about the same as my previous GVC in regard to green tinting. Haven’t noticed many differences between the two but it feels like the GH3 looks slightly better overall after a few hours of use.

All valid, thanks for your honest reply and not taking it as some personal attack like many would 👍🏼

Got a G9N panel on my 17 Pro Max 1TB Silver! Now I have two current generation iPhones with Samsung displays. 😁
After returning a 17PM with a GVC panel for an unrelated hardware issue, first I got a G9Q Air and second a G9N PM. These were both bought the first try without even starting a return/exchange loop of the same phone over and over to get a specific screen. I consider myself pretty lucky considering all the others I’ve seen posting about that in this very thread.
I was very skeptical but now I actually see first-hand, compared to the GVC PM and base 17 that I personally had, the Samsung panels are actually much brighter, sharper, have more vivid colors, and better contrast. This is all along with having no green tint when tilting the phone, and that does happen occasionally when doing those hand gymnastics to reach farther parts of the display.
Uniformity does seem a little less even, but that’s not really a huge trade-off for me considering I got a much more punchy display with stunning colors and sharpness. The text just pops and has no fuzziness.
I still won’t say that these Samsung screens are always better than the LG panels, and LG is probably still better at producing a uniform display, but at least in my experience, yeah they are just so much nicer. I can’t believe I “won” this lottery without even playing.

My G9Q Air looked way better than my GVC 17PM. Returned the Air for battery capacity.
Update!
I tried again. LG GVC screen (256 GB Space Black). Screen similar to my previous two screens. Slight blue shift downward (normal). Noticed a slight red shift on the top side (notif area) from an extreme upward angle (thats a first). I can't even tell if this one is uniform anymore (don't think it is, less obvious than my previous Air screen(G9Q) though). I give up. Will keep this one. Good luck to anyone else hunting!
