Some early buyers of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro have encountered a problem on the displays not entirely new regarding the iPhone. Some smartphones would have a tint that turns towards yellow, compared to other models or to the iPhone 11 Pro, which would colder white and color balance. The hot font of the iPhone display 12 and 12 Pro would be maintained even turning off True Tone and Night Shift .

Users are writing about what they consider to be a defect through various sources, including Reddit and MacRumors forums, showing in photos the differences between the new generation models and the “old” iPhone 11 Pro. And there are already those who speak of problems in quality control, or a very specific mischievous choice to favor production volumes for quality of the finished product.

“Several reports of an annual tradition are already coming to light in the land of the iPhone, the discharge of waste screens with yellow tints towards unsuspecting consumers “, writes a user on the MacRumors forums. “This happens every year, from iPhone 3G. Every. Year. Never wrong. Same color. Same excuses from Apple apologists. The fact is that not all iPhone screens 12 have the same tint. Some will be more yellow and worse than others ” .

On the MacRumors thread there are those who speak of “wide tolerance” to favor sales volumes, who instead of myth, updated every year , of more or less correct colors . There are also those who would like to try their luck and request the replacement of the “defective” model under warranty. The reality of the facts is that only a colorimeter test can reveal the truth, since two panels can have a different calibration and clearly placing them side by side you can notice any variations in the factory calibration more. The colorimeter test could even verify a better calibration compared to the reference for the model with a yellow tint .

It is clear that the new iPhones 12 and iPhones 12 Pros are particularly expensive smartphones and it’s only fair that buyers demand the best from Apple. Except that, also considering that there is an increasing tendency to set displays with very cold calibrations to be more appealing to the eye (but less faithful), the yellow ” “the most correct ones and those tending to blue could be the models with the greatest defect in calibration .
