Why would it destroy current good looking screens ? Apple just needs to add a slider that goes from cool too warm in display settings.
I bought my iPhone 12 pro at Best Buy, which appears to have some yellowing of the screen. Should I take it back to Best Buy or my local apple store if I’m interested in trying a replacement.
With anandtech confirming that we are not crazy today, I think it’s safe to say this is what most iPhones look like this year, and the “nice” screens out there are the true outliers, not our yellow ones.
As per Apple website, phones need to go back to where they were purchased from. Bad news is that Best Buy charges a $45 restocking fee. Not sure what their policy is on waiving it.
For what it's worth, I did the color tint "hack" and have kept True Tone ON, and the display now seems much better than my X. It's good enough for me at this point.
yes you’re completely right.
I like em. Cannot understand wich one is better but they are pretty identical.
the v2 has a bit more glow.
I like the greys, as you can see they are almost the same of my 11pm.

One is a replacement one is a new purchase. Shipped with a day of distance.
the one replaced was G0NDK
it was similar, more greenish in the off axis
I'm wondering if the "good" displays are LG panels. A lot of phones this year that use Samsung panels are reporting yellow tint issues (OnePlus 8 Pro, Moto Edge, S20 FE).
Very strange. All your devices are manufactured in October. Same batch.
Isn't that only available in Vivid mode on Samsung panels? Natural mode doesn't have that setting, but shows more accurate colors but Vivid has the setting but colors are crazy saturated, as they show the full gamut of the display.
That is correct. Only available for 'Vivid Mode' on the N20 Ultra and 'Adaptive Display' on the Note 9
But, it would still come in real handy if Apple would let us adjust the white balance to our liking ( true or not )

From your phone - Settings - General - About .. tap and hold on the serial number to copy. Paste it on that site.
you’ll need the full serial number. Been using this site for years and never had an issue!
My mini is yellow too .... if i try to adjust the color it tends to blue ... i felt apple assistance and they told me that the 12 are all with a warmer display .. to preserve sight .. but is it possible that there is no official Apple press release? my mini has the serial that ends with fd9d ... if i had to go to an apple center to change it, i have to check that it has a different serial? does the serial also identify the manufacturer of the display? sorry for my english but i am italian ...
The serial number does not identify the panel manufacturer. I believe there is a website where you can do this ? ( sure someone here will know and post a link.. ) Even if you do get to know who made your device's display ( LG or Sammy ) it's not really relevant if you have the issue.
Yes, it's most likely a regional thing. I should have mentioned that some states waive the restocking fee so it's possible OP is in one of those states (I am not, unfortunately). Whether or not a BB manager is willing to waive the fee... dunno. I assume for defects they might be more willing but hard to say.
