Reply to comment by 84904809245 in How i resolved my Yellow tint issue on iPhone 13 by GrandpaOverkill

I have an iPhone 14 pro in my hand right now with truetone off and it's not piss yellow. iPhone displays are consistently tested to be the most color accurate in the phone industry. If you think a non defective modern iPhone with truetone disabled looks "piss yellow", the problem is 100% coming from you. You are accustomed to overly blue-tinted consumer displays to the point of considering that the international standard for white looks yellow

Nope its not, if you compare an actual good display with this phone without colour filters on, it’s piss yellow, I don’t care what apple claims it has promised to do with it’s phones. Apparently they didn’t or their standards are worthless

It's not what Apple claims. It's what independent reviewers have thoroughly measured. And it's not Apple's standard, it's the entire content creation industry's standard.

If you show the same image on a recent iPhone with truetone off and on another phone and the iPhone looks "piss yellow", it's not because the iPhone screen is bad. It's because the "actual good display" is too blue. Therefore it's not an "actual good display". It's just one that fits your skewed preferences.

The measurements are not inaccurate. The calibration works.

Here's the deal: there is no such thing as a "perfectly white" white. It does not exist in and of itself. Perfectly white is whatever combination of red, green and blue we choose to define as "white". And that is the D65 white point. It's an international standard used by virtually all content creators. That means when an artist wants something to look "white", they make it look like the d65 white point. If they want a bluish white they'll skew blue and if they want a yellowish white they'll skew red.

Modern iPhone screens are the most color accurate in the phone industry, and by "most accurate" I mean that the default "white" they display (ie RGB 255,255,255) is the closest to the D65 white point.

However MANY phones and perhaps more significantly TVs skew wayyyy bluer than the D65 white point. That means every piece of content you watch is displayed to you much bluer than the artist intended. This results in the average person tending to consider an overly blue white as the "normal white".

If you have a NON DEFECTIVE iPhone, and you think it looks piss yellow, then you are subconsciously used to an overly blue white point. What you consider as "perfectly white" is NOT what the entire content industry considers to be "white". The problem comes from you.

It's either that, or OP's display is defective. It really is that simple.

I agree on this one,without the colour filter workaround the screen literallly looks piss yellow and it never ceases to amaze me how people still think apple is right.if piss n the screen is what apple considers normal then i might aswell stick to my non industry standard subpar android screen from next time

I have a spectrometer here as I’m a calibrator and I assure you my 14 Pro screen is not piss yellow lol. It’s very close to reference 6500K color temp.
