Do you mean that you swapped three times and got panels that had poor uniformity?
Got a tip for us?

It's most likely (tho not guaranteed it's) a Samsung panel and your eyes are used to looking it a certain way. When you flip it, the color shifts a big and your eyes perceive it as a big difference because of how sensitive our eyes are to small changes in white balance.
No, I returned once, purchased 2 replacements, both were G9Q and identical, uniform and no tint off axis. Someone else I know happened to do the same and got a G9Q and that was the same as mine.
So if he has a pinkish and uneven Samsung panel, then it’s his eyes fault.
Post of the year.

I have a iPad Pro M4 with these new tandem OLED tech (where apple stacked two OLEDs in such a way that light is emissioned by two OLED layers and energy consumption is down 20% compared to the regular OLEDs with the same brightness) that one is so uniform and has no tint off axis at all
looked up the serial number and it is a LG GH3... whish they would deploy these type of iPad Pro tandem OLED displays into the iPhone ... I guess then we would need all no more lottery at all.
When comparing it straight on with my green off axis monster LG GVC then it looks quite similar but when tilting into off axis it is totally different... the tandem OLED in the iPadPro stays bright and colors are not changing at all whereas my 17 PM looks like it is defect or someone spilled bright green poison over it.
EDIT: found a link to this korean tech article and told safari to translated it.
here a fragment of the article which shows that LG is ready, but apple still hesitates to use that tandem OLED tech for iphones
"...LG Display's proposal to Apple for simplified tandem seems to be the result of judging that they are ahead in tandem technology. LG Display has already proposed to Apple to apply tandem OLED to iPhone many years ago. At that time, Apple said that it had no plan to apply tandem OLED to iPhone ..."
well maybe apple will do somewhen in the future ... maybe it is still too expensive for them?

It is normal / a software bug issue most likely. I notice the same thing when swiping along the bottom to switch from any app to the settings screen. It happens only when swiping to the settings menu. Don't worry about it and please stop spamming this thread with your question 👍.
I would say this, this is not a iPhone specific problem. I remember when I bought my m4 iPad Pro, I went through 5 iPads before I found the one that had a good screen.
The issue is a bit more complicated. The panel in question is an LG. I think the black hole of the Dynamic Island tricks my eyes into making the upper part look less bright, which in turn makes the lower part seem more pink.
In addition, if you consider the fact that the panel’s appearance changes slightly under different lighting conditions, it becomes hard to tell whether it’s actually a good panel or not.
Sometimes it looks flawless, sometimes not.
For what pictures are worth, I’m posting a few images that still give an idea.

After a G9N 17 Pro (Camera Control Broken) I tried a G9P 17 (non pro) - but it is a bad panel (direct green shift when rotaing 1-2 degrees) I will try another 17 Pro. Sadly all the base 17 had issues. I think the 17 Pro do have better displays/panels.
It’s not a screen defect. If it was hardware related it would happen in every scenario. So far it only happens when switching to the native phone app and settings screens.
Just did the check on my M4 iPad Pro 1TB (purchased March 2025) which has an awesome panel, and it’s GVC.I have a iPad Pro M4 with these new tandem OLED tech (where apple stacked two OLEDs in such a way that light is emissioned by two OLED layers and energy consumption is down 20% compared to the regular OLEDs with the same brightness) that one is so uniform and has no tint off axis at all

Throw it away immediately. We do not allow 'GVC' and 'awesome' to coincide.
Oh, it’s an LG. Then they’ll say the faulty part is the panel, not your eyes. /s
My base 17 has a G9P and is perfectly uniform with no off axis tint. I compared it to some 17 pros at Apple Store in London and it was better than most devices on display. So it is possible to get a good display but it seems to be a lottery.
Besides not being objective, you lack a sense of humor, lol.
Don’t take all of this so seriously, you’re going to have a heart attack the next time someone says they have a defective Samsung panel or that they like their GVC.
How is the BOE screen? Are you satisfied with it?I feel left out of the conversations with my BOE screen.
