OK, so reddish part in darker. How good/bad that looks in normal use? Do you find it acceptable? Because I noticed it depends a lot of screen orientation and brightness but that issue can be seen in most all conditions when I look it even little carefully.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 12 Pro Yellow Screen/Tint? Display seem "Warm"? Check here first!

I don't find it personally acceptable given the price of the phone and the marketing around the display, no. So I may still try another replacement in a few months. I do think it's easier to notice in landscape but that's probably because that's how our eyes work—we perceive differences horizontally more easily than vertically.
Returned my iphone 12 64gb black a few weeks ago for being too yellow. Decided to pick up a new one today. This one is less yellow for sure but still slightly warm. Only slightly warmer than my xr and doesn't have that dramatic colorshift when tilting the display. This new one was manufactured a week later (38th week sept) than my old one i returned. This one was made in the F1 foxconn and the one i returned was made in the DN foxconn factory.
I tried taking pictures of the xr and 12 side by side and the xr comes off more yellow in photos which is 100% not the case in real life. So unless i run into any other issues i'm gonna keep this one.

Yeah, screw this lottery bs . It’s clearly the way these phones are manufactured. I went back to my XR. If next years iPhone has similar issues then I’ll ‘upgrade’ to the 11.
That would be interesting to see, I think that will prove it once and for all if it's only our eye's perception or this is an actual issue, I hope someone who has the means could do this test.
This has already been explained several times. With TT OFF, whites WILL look different depending on the external light, this is normal. It's actually the purpose of TT to make the white look as natural as possible depending on ambient light. TT is supposed to counter act the change in ambient light temperature.
Hi guys,
This thread just got my attention. I own the iphone 12 mini, 3 weeks old. My screen is perfect nothing to complain. I want you guys to consider what Metamerism is and how is affecting OLED screen. It's a very well known issue among pro calibrators.

all I can see is that the 12 looks much better (?)
You have the fact that there are millions without issues 😂 So people not complaining means automatically that their panel is perfect. The possibility that they don’t care or simply haven’t noticed it is not there. Hilarious.

in camera, the green/yellow tint seem to show picture cooler but it's not that way
Since you mention that when you tilt it, it doesn’t show that color shift, it seems like you have the same panel type as mine.
Can you test it if yours also suffers more from the smearing issue?
When do I notice it? When using my iPhone 12 in a dark room, with night mode on, and very low brightness (the Lower, the more evident the issue). So it’s not just a science experiment, it happens in normal life.
It happens when you have dark grey next to true blacks (Hence pixels are turned off).
E.g. In iphone settings or visiting a website like https://www.livescore.com
Issue: as you scroll up and down, the dark grey overflows / bleeds into the black for a second or so.
Strangely though, it doesn’t affect other colours, mainly dark greys.
IPhone 12 OLED - black smearing
I wrote a post already on this, but I didn’t know how to call the issue. I have since learnt it’s called OLED smearing. I understand that all OLED screens do it a bit, but I do not know if my screen is worse than others, from this point of view. Can you test if the same happens on your OLED...

To all those who have a screen that doesn’t have a big color shift, when viewing the phone on an angle, can you please test this?
It seems to affect much worse panels that don’t display the color shift. Panels worth the color shift do better with this issue.

I have that but I have that in previous iPhones as well I think this is normal or sort of normal in OLED screensSince you mention that when you tilt it, it doesn’t show that color shift, it seems like you have the same panel type as mine.
Can you test it if yours also suffers more from the smearing issue?

I have definitely compared side by side 2 types of iPhone panels (I assume they had different planels).
One of the two had considerably less smearing - but it had the issue when tilting the display (large color shift, e,g. From white to blueish).
I wonder if these are the 2 hardware issues that one needs to choose between...

What's Night mode ? I got Night Shift or Dark mode.
Guys, this error is being reported in Apple, the technician has told me that they are aware and are compiling these reports to obtain more information, he has asked me if the colors of the screen vary greatly when viewed from different angles and other important things about the screen and behaviors. In the end he told me that this can be fixed via software, changing the rgb parameters like on a television.

Ahhh yes ok. Yes mine does what you describe although it is very hard to see, it happens for like a split second.
Did you see my video in the post Below?
Is it less noticeable?
Just to confirm, you are in a pitch black room, with brightness at the lowest level.
THanks

i have it just like you but for me is not a big problem, my girlfriend's iphone 12 do this but it's lot less noticeable, also her screen is way more warmer than mine so I keep mine. This is not a big deal for me, also don't comapare with and LCD iphone, LCD don't suffer smearing as it has backlight to iluminate the screen.Did you see my video in the post Below?
