It's BS , same as the post claiming certain samsung oled panel serials were rejects and low grade panels.
Without comparison even photos are completely useless. To prove my point here's my 12 Pro with TT ON and Night Shift ON! Everyone who has owned an iPhone, even with a good screen, knows that this is not how night shift + true tone looks in real life in a dark room:
The camera thinks this bright spot should be white and adjusts the white balance accordingly.

Look the same to me, sad i dont have an old iPhone with oled to compare it to. Compared to my old iphone 6s, both look warmer then the 6s, but also much brighter. The picture i uploaded does not look like in real.
Both 12pro's still have the raised black issue
Edit:
Auto-Brightness off in accessibility features

It looks cooler and brighter with TT on in darker room. Does it have raised black issue?
It's actually the opposite, when in a dark room my eyes see it as deep yellow with truetone turned on in a dark room. In a pitch black room truetone appears similar to NightShift .
iPhone 12 pro Just returned from the Apple service center same as before the same color yellow green .. the words of the technician were there: we are waiting for communications from Apple probably the problem will be solved with an update ..i give up
I have a G0N and my partner has an F2 and mine is slightly whiter. Not only have I compared it to my girlfriend's, but I also compared it to several sample units and mine was whiter (Slightly) Another user of this thread replaced several units until he got a G0. I tested the screen with a colorimeter and it turned out to be the most accurate of all the replacement units I had obtained.

Thank you for the comment. If that's the case I'm a proud owner of G0 as well

Yes in the dark room, put on a pure black youtube video on to see if the screen glows greenish
I need a sample to compare against what people have used here. The only video I saw last night from this forum was a this link
I think it’s safe to assume Samsung makes some duff low grade panels. All these issues bar the true tone yellow one is noted on all other forums that I’ve participated in , inc Oneplus 8 pro and Samsung mobile device forums.

Returned my G0. Might have been slightly whiter but had raised blacks so still faulty panel.

I Checked now with 3utools the Serials from display panels.
1st iPhone 12 pro, 39/2020, Sn: F17DG, Panel Sn: G9P0356 (Date 2020-08-29)
2nd iPhone 12 pro, 49/2020, Sn: F17DT, Panel SN: G9P0466 (Date 2020-11-14)
3rd iphone 12 pro, 50/2020, SN, F17DV, Panel SN: G9P0491 (Date 2020-11-30)
All three had/have raised blacks and look yellow. I will leave the 12 Series out and wait for the 13.
I'm no longer interested in this lottery.
Hope Apple does not make this mistake again with the 13 Pro.
so they gave you your phone back? they must be convinced that they handle it with software
Have a 3rd mini on the way. Purchased a 2nd a month ago - it was less washed out than the 1st, but the off-axis green/blue tint is the worst I’ve ever seen. Tried to live with it but it kept bothering me. So, another round of hoping a good screen shows up...
What an annoying waste of time, money, and planetary resources. Apple is doing a disservice to all of us by not addressing and dealing with this issue.
