Yea. Depends if you like blue or pink displays. The right looks blue and the left looks pink. Lol
Has anyone else noticed when you take a selfie in the dark with the front facing camera the screen flashes pure yellow instead of white? This isn’t supposed to be like that. This proves these displays are faulty.
To my eyes
the one on the left looks much better than the one on the right with the blue mixed in just my opinion and my eyes

Just to add my note 20 ultra leans towards the cooler side with whites and I pulled up a YouTube white video on the 12 pro max and the note 20 ultra and the 12 pro max display looks better on the white side to my eyes
just my opinion
My eyes are probably too old to play this game. My 12PM looks good to me. Hope everyone gets to enjoy their new phones.
The display flash is colored on purpose, to provide natural skin tones. The flash on the back of your iPhone will do the same thing (it has white and amber led nodes). It’s called True Tone flash, introduced with the iPhone 5.
I just got off the phone with apple support and the guy was telling me to go through these step to try to fix the yellow screen which was just to turn True Tone on then off night shift also and he was reading that other people have reported this issue and apple are aware of this now so for a temporary fix he was telling me that I can use the color filter thing for NOW until they resolve the issue, I compare my x to the iPhone 12pro and yeah it has a yellow tint but my 12pro is way brighter though. One crazy thing that happened last night I was at Best Buy comparing their display 12p to mine and it was the same but usually when I turn True Tone on my phone would get dark yellow BUT when I turned on True Tone at the store yesterday my screen turn GREEN instead of the dark yellow it even did it on the display model and when I got back home I turned True Tone on and it turn dark yellow how is normally does.. it’s weird how it turned green !!!!
I’ve also got a green tinted 12 Pro Max that I just issued an express replacement for. Hopefully my new one has crisp whites and no tint issues.
What are the first three characters of your serial number. Wondering which factory it came from.
Got iPhone 12 mini (left) and compared with XR (middle) and X (right). In background Eizo CG2740 calibrated monitor. Monitor brightness is set to 160cd/m². I tried to set phones brightness matching monitor brightness level.
Took photo with camera and set white balance to 6500K. Exported from RAW to JPG in Capture One. TrueTone and Night Shift both are off.

On my 12 Pro Max, while the yellowish tint can be seen when next to my 11 pro Max, it’s not that bad and something I will probably stick with since there is a chance of getting worse(I got mine from Best Buy G6TDK first 5 of serial). My daughters has the same issue but also doesn’t seem to get as bright as my 11 pro Max but she like it that way as she runs in dark mode all the time and it looks great to her. Slow is my 12 on the right and 11 on the left.
I wish Apple would at least acknowledge there is an issue. This is not like older releases with tint issues. In older releases it was adhesive that was not dry but in this case it's a widespread factory defect. I've had mine for 17 days now with no change in the tint.
I noticed this on the first replacement of my Pacific Blue 12 Pro. It had more yellow in the back glass color than the original.

Immediately after unboxing my brand new 12 PM I noticed my screen was dull and yellow compared to my old 6S Plus. Even compared it to a pixel 3 and this screen is extremely disappointing in terms of contrast and color intensity.

Its never been glue. That’s a myth that won’t die.
This is exactly like past years. Same tint, same issues. Never glue. Never been. Never Will be. Spread the word.
Actually the glue thing was real, but just for iPhone 4S launch phones:
Apple Support Says iPhone 4 Yellow Tint Problem Is "Residue From Manufacturing"

I ventured to the local Apple store over the weekend to compare my yellow-screened 12 mini with various floor models. What I found was that most 12 minis looked slightly better than mine, but their screens were still not perfect. The pro max display models had the worst displays (sorry for not taking any pictures). And 12 and 12 pros had the best (relatively speaking).
Here are side-by-side comparisons of the 12 minis (mine is on the right with a case, and the third is a comparison to a mini at Best Buy, not the Apple store):
And here are some comparisons to the regular 12 and the 12 pro:

Thanks for the Apple store pics- my pro max looks like your mini compared to the Pros and regular 12’s.
Since the return period is extended through the first week of January I’m going to wait a few weeks then probably go in for an exchange. Hoping this is just an early batch issue.

Its iPhone 4 and its not this issue. That was small circular dots/splotches on the display not an overall tint. Never was this issue. Unfortunately, even posting this, you still didn’t know that it was dots/splotches and not overall tint.Actually the glue thing was real, but just for iPhone 4S launch phones:
