Just took the XR back after 5 minutes of ownership. Yellow screens claim another phone victim.
Before any drive by posters: I have extensive history with yellow screens. I know what correct color calibration looks like. This was not a calibration issue. Nor was it True Tone, which I had turned off.
Color filters don’t fix the issue, they just mask it and distort other colors. The iPhone needs a true white point adjuster like MacOS has. With that I could have adjusted to 6500k and been fine. As is the phone is more like 5500k.
It also wasn’t glue.
Some phone screens at launch are always yellow. Ask how I know.
Read the XS Max yellow screen thread for more info.
I can spot a yellow screen instantly.
Going back to 8+
