Sorry just seeing this. I ordered my phone through T-Mobile. First five of the serial are G0NDN
same here ,same green flickering problem... I’m starting getting very tired about this freaking phone. Decided to return it .
Any yellow tint on iPhone 11 Pro Max?
Curious as to those of you who have received your iPhone 11 Pro Max if the screen is warm or cool? With True Tone turned off of course. I had 4 different XS Max phones (various reasons, including warranty replacements) and the screen color temperature/quality was all over the place. I had two...

Spent close to 1500 on my iPhone 11 pro max 512gb and the screen is ugly yellow
What do I do? I bought it from sprint.com. this is completely unacceptable, my iPhone x looks so good and crisp and blue compared to it

iPhone 11 pro, yellow screen
So I received my iphone 11 pro space grey today and I clearly have a LG Oled panel. Compared to my Xs max the screen is uneven and the colors doesn’t pop like my xs. The colors also shift a lot more when viewed from the side. Anyone else noticed this?

Do you see anyone complaining about yellow screens on 11s now? No? Because they even out over time. People were complaining when the X came out too.
How can this guy have multiple phones with no issues... either he is extremely lucky or Apple gives him the good units... assuming he is not colourblind
All of the 11 phones with yellow tint are still yellow. 100%. OLEDs don't "Cool over time". Insane statement, with, as I said, no proof.

Don't see anyone complaining about yellow 11s. In fact many are using their 11s as a point of reference as to 12s being yellow. But hey, keep sending phones back for no reason and encouraging others to do so.
Have you done any RGB balance charts with Calman? Is the green showing up highest there?
Theres been several yellow 11s posted in this thread. And Xs etc. And your position is absolutely absurd - that you dont see posts on a year old phone that that proves that OLEDs cool over time? Has to be the most illogical leap of logic of all time. You can't even read this thread, and we are supposed to 1) trust that you've searched to see if people are still complaining about 11s, and 2) believe your absurd logic that people not complaining automatically means OELDs as a technology cool in temp over time? Seriously bro???

Mine is an 11 Pro Max and it's terrible without color filters. Many people settled like I did with my second one. Sure the 12 looks bad but no way was the 11(OLED) series without yellow screens. Seems like people like myself who settled let Apple get away with it again this year.
Ok, so here is a picture of my 12 Pro Max next to my X. Max brightness and True Tone off. It doesn’t look that bad in pictures.
When I first turned the unit on and was doing the transfer I noticed the yellow tint immediately. When I don't compare the panels side by side. My eyes seem to see the white correctly.
I unfortunately went through this ******** on my X 3 years ago. The first one on launch day was very yellow/warm. I returned it and had to wait about a month for a new one because they were sold out. The 2nd one I got was much better.
Everyone that got the 12 Pro Max on launch day has til January 8th 2021 to return it. Luckily we have plenty of time to decide if we should return or not.

I’m on 14.3 b2 right now on both Pro and Max... Will wait to see if this minor update addresses these issues before flashing back.. Thanks for posting this!

This is about the raised blacks and greenish dark grays and flicker issues, NOT about yellow tint.Apple aware of display issues affecting some iPhone 12 models - 9to5Mac

I don’t have any issues with my screen and I’m on 14.1. Only update that is showing for me is 14.2.
Yeah and that’s the update that should be showing for you. Apple released a new 14.2 update an hour ago solely for iPhone 12’s. It’s still entitled 14.2, but with a different build number than the 14.2 that was released a week ago. If you don’t have any issues than that’s terrific for you. Enjoy.
For those of you wondering the new 14.2 does not change anything. If you are on the older build of 14.2 you can update via iTunes/Finder by connecting your iPhone to your computer. I went through the trouble and it does not fix the yellow tint issue.
My 12 pro max display is fine no yellow tint but I do have the raised blacks and gray glow issues at certain levels of brightness on a black background in total darkness it’s like something is keeping the pixels from turning off completely at certain points of brightness seems like a software issue I would think if it was hardware itself then it would not display any blacks at certain levels and continue to stay almost a glowing grey but what do I know well one thing my note 20 ultra sitting on the nightstand has the best display I have ever seen on a phone and if I could stick ios on that display yeah heaven 
Nor will any software update, except one that enables full calibration control.
I feel like I can't emphasize this enough:
THERE WILL BE NO SOFTWARE FIX FOR THIS.
People have been saying apple will fix this via software since 2009. That's 11 years for the mathematically challenged.
If you have a yellow screen,, you have 1 option
RETURN FOR FULL REFUND
I was not suggesting it would fix it. I simply was doing a test and reporting the results.
