For people getting express replacement I just have a curious question. Are they coming in that same white film that the retail model did?
3/3 yellow screens for me. This 12 looks like night shift is on at all times. Colors muted and 1/2 the brightness of my XR. Going back tomorrow. May give up.
Seems like I got lucky, my screen is warmer when compared to my X but contrast and brightness are good, even better in sunlight. With TT off the 12 Pro is definitely bluer than my X with TT on, so I can live with it (always had TT on on my X)
I still don't believe that there's a screen out there with a perfect white balance, they all seem to be warmer this year. One things for sure, I'm disappointed by the general quality of the new screens, it seems apple rushed this thing and I will never be ordering on release day again.

I don’t want to clutter this thread with it, but more contribution to this thread would be good. I think it’s affecting the majority, if not all 12s and could mean a serious product recall for Apple. Unlike the yellow display which they could unfortunately get away with, an OLED panel that emits light on full black is not fit for purpose.

iPhone 12 Pro “raised blacks” display
Anyone else noticed improper pure black levels similar to LCD screen? You can check videos like this, better in a pitch black room:

Apple have done recalls / repair / replacement programs on multiple occasions (lol?)
I was able to get that fee FINALLY waived after connecting to like 5948284838 different support agents.
God, why do ALL the advisors have different abilities/information? The first few were like “no sorry you cant get an express replacement” the next few were like “sure thing, express replacement on its way and its a $29 fee” And the last few were like “kk $29 fee waived”
Like you really gotta dig to get support...
Don’t you think it’s default screen. It’s not an issue. It’s how the screens are.
I don’t. Ive seen good ones in person. Same as every year. Definitely a worse year this year but good ones exist. Because good ones exist, I will not accept anything but.
Mhhmmm, as soon as one agent said no, disconnect. Try again lol. They can do a lot more than people think. Hopefully your replacement is better!
Compared to XR. Xr was more "blue" as expected, but the screens I saw were neutral, clear, and accurate. No yellow dingy layer that distracts the eye.
I'm thinking ordering online and ship to house vs retail units may be the key.
It will be interesting to see how the mini and Max screens look next week. My replacement 12 is not the same as my older XR, but its close enough to where I don't actively notice it with TT off.
Is it just me or can you actually see the yellow tint in the middle iPhone 12? The mini and max don't look too bad though.
Coming from a bright high quality LCD like the Xr or 11 and you're going to think it's yellow every time. If you come from another OLED it's probably much less noticeable or an issue. It might be worth trying for a few days without looking at any of your previous phone screens and see how your eyes adjust. I've had two 12's and a 12p and all three have looked identically yellow, and it's definitely noticeable coming from the Xr... but that's also because my Xr is sitting right next to it half the time as well... I don't know.
The text is equally white on all three if you zoom in.

I think it might be a True Tone calibration issue... I can take my 12 and move it into different environments and watch it get more white and then fade back to a softer and more yellow white as I'm changing environments and lighting; and when it goes more white, it's a very nice looking white.
And I don't mean turning off True Tone fixes it. That makes it way too cool. But rather, how it's adapting to the surrounding environment.

But..this whole issue is with true tone off. Let me guess, didnt take the time to read?
If its super cool with TT off, you dont have this issue. Also, sell one of us your phone.
The screen is either better or it isn't. Yellow and dingy isn't better, end of story.
