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

the 13 pros should be brighter every single time, even with auto brightness turned off.

Is that how the displays are tested to give the brightness numbers? Auto brightness on or off? I don’t know and neither do you. The max brightness might be only when auto brightness is on.

Serious question, is your 13PM display actually not bright enough or is the comparison to another phone causing your anxiety? How about if your iPhone works fine in all conditions for you, maybe stop doing side by side comparisons with another phone trying to find a flaw. Just a thought.

It’s how apple tested it apparently, since they came up with these numbers. 👇

I’m not going to go back and forward with you, I’ll most likely keep my phone, can’t be bothered playing the screen lottery.

This doesn’t look like 800 nits vs 1000 nits, looks like the 12 pro max has a higher hit count.

Honestly, I found True Tone on iPhone to be limited and unapppealing compared to its introduction on iPad. It was always warm, except perhaps on iPhone X. iPhone 7 was warm, and iPhone 8/XS/11 Pro/12 Pro had warm True Tone.



Performing a restore on iPhone 13 Pro Max caused my displays True Tone to be slightly warmer than my warm 12 Pro. Performing dfu restore via iMax fixed it. I actually see the display change in tone like all the iPad Pro’s. Previous iPhones didn’t really adapt the color tone to my environment, but this phone changes tone all the time and can even get cool. I think the new display driver adjusts the white point more dynamically and this may be because of the LPTO Display

I'm confused: I really don't understand how comes that people are seeing improvements in the 13 series color temperature.

There are more yellow and less yellow displays, on all models, every year. Someone with a more yellow 12 walks into the store and happens to see less yellow 13 displays, then comes here and reports "yay, the 13 series is improved". Someone with a less yellow 12 orders a 13 and happens to receive a more yellow one, and report "dammit, the 13 is even more yellow than the 12". Those are all just anecdata. So far there is nothing whatsoever in this thread that would indicate that there is any substantial change this year.

Fair enough. You do you. Never ending posts all hyped-up for your new iPhone. Then never-ending posts complaining about something about your new iPhone. Somebody likes attention.

Suffice to say he's just as OCD as the rest of us and is probably in the right place. Though, in my experience, most certainly not doing himself many favors by sticking around these parts if he's trying to move past it 😉

Yup. Although with that being said, I've never noted any significant variance unit-to-unit in the store. I have been to many a Best Buy and Apple Store over the lifetime of the 12 series for unrelated browsing/purchases and not yet seen a 12 series screen that came close my iPhone X's crispy white beauty. It seems that overall the displays are simply (and purposefully) tuned warmer than they used to be, likely due to market data suggesting that most people prefer them that way. I wish they'd just market true tone as the answer for that crowd, but alas...
 
So when scrolling white text on pure black background at night at minimum brightness do you also see some kind of rgb color channel separation effect on the moving text? Also happen on pictures, it looks a bit like those filters you put on videos to make it look like in the nineties, with the tv scan look. Not a big deal, just a curious effect

This is an OLED thing, I've seen it for years. Not worth worrying about 😛

How can brightness be lower on some of these 13 pro max, when apple says it meant to be 200 nits brighter, mine is definitely not brighter than a 12 pro max I tested yesterday, then I saw a video on YouTube, where the 13 pro max was brighter than the 12 pro max, I'm getting annoyed now. 🤨😂

This is what my iPhone 12 Pro and 13 Pro look like when compared side by side at 50% brightness. The 12 Pro is definitely brighter. I didn't try the flashlight/sunlight test. This is not a problem for me as I use my phone at 50% brightness and the 13 Pro looks fine to me. My 13 Pro screen is even and has minimal color shift off axis and I'm happy with it overall.

Looks like it’s a common thing with these panels.

Think his confused with how these screens should behave, 800 nits vs 1000 nits.

You shouldn’t have to turn on auto brightness and go outside so you can have a brighter display.

iPhone 11/12 pro max, shouldn’t be brighter than than a 13 pro max, even with auto brightness disabled on both.

Most likely wait until my store has refurbs available and swap mine out.
