hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and recently I've been getting a lot of
messages saying that the color temperature on the newest iPhones might
be a little bit yellowish and maybe some of the colors aren't accurate or people
are concerned about buying them and they've been pointing me to either
different forums or they've just been commenting or emailing me directly so I
thought we'd take a look at Apple's current lineup and see how they compare
with different whites on the display maybe a couple other colors and also
compare them with some Android phones as well so what we have here is the iPhone
8 the iPhone 8 plus the iPhone XR the iPhone 11 the iPhone 11 Pro in the
iPhone 11 Pro max and this is the current offering from Apple if you were
to go to their store or go to their website and buy something new the XS
the XS Max those phones are no longer sold new same with the iPhone X you
might be able to get them refurbished or left over at different stores but this
is Apple's current lineup and so if you're familiar with Apple you'll know
that they're oled displays are manufactured by Samsung to their
specifications so Apple says I want this spec of display and they make that
display the same is true of their LCDs but often times LG was one of their LCD
manufacturers and possibly some other companies as well now before we take a
look at white on all of these in black and and I also have red blue and gray
let's take a look at the settings I'll show you that they're all the same we
have the brightness set to the same so brightness is basically at the top of
this screen mirroring line here they're all the same and then I also have all of
the settings the same so true tone is currently turned off on all of them you
can see across all the different devices true tone is off night shift is off and
so this should give us a pretty even playing field and Apple is really known
for their color balance displays they're usually pretty accurate but let's take a
look at a white background on here so I'll go into photos and put a white
background it's the same exact white background on every single one all of
the same wallpapers that I'm using were airdrop to one another so that they're
all identical so here is the same wallpaper set on every single device
it's the exact same one so you can see there is a color
temperature difference I would say that the 11pro in the 11pro max have a little
bit of a bluish tint to them the eleven is a little more neutral or natural and
then the ten are and the eight plus may be a little bit bluish and again the
eight is a little different as well now if I bring in an Android phone such as
the pixel this is the pixel for Excel so let's expand this same wallpaper out
that's the color temperature of the pixel for Excel so this holds true
across different displays as well and here's Samsung's own s10 so this is
considered one of the best displays as well this is an s10 plus and you can see
the display here let's bring that wallpaper back out so this gives you an
idea that let's move these phones over just for a moment because here are the
OLED panels from all of these manufacturers and you'll see the color
temperatures are very different on all of them so the Samsung may look a little
blue yellow to me I'm not sure it's hard to say some of the lighting and here may
be a little bit difficult to see that as well they're all set to about the same
brightness as well so the iPhones definitely have a different color look
to them and then if you were to turn on true tone it would change even more so
this gives you an idea that not all displays are created equally and none of
the Android phones have any of the display modifications turned on and
they're all set to stock so nothing's changed of the blue light filters are on
or anything else so let's set the Android phones up here and slide in the
iPhones and show you a couple other things so if we bring in the next photo
here this is gray and let's do the same so now you can see the color gray is set
on all of these and I would say that to me the most accurate between different
displays I've looked at are the 11 Pro and Pro max the 11 is the least accurate
in my opinion and then the three on the left are a little bit better at least to
my eyes in this light now you can see red set on all the displays now red is
going to look a little bit different based on the camera you're using
currently I'm using a panasonic gh1 the iPhone 11 Pro Max and the 11pro
the colors are very very similar to the others maybe a little bit darker but not
too much different in the camera this may look a little bit more orange but
they look very similar in person now I have one final color and as you can see
blue is set on all the displays and again this is all very similar so the
one that looks the most different to me anyway is white so everything's set to
white again and I would say that the 11pro and Promax look excellent and in
most tests have been found to be very accurate now if you have incredible
color sensitivity then maybe you'll see these color shifts but in person you're
not going to see much and again if I go back home that's really where unless you
have incredible vision you're not going to see much of a difference so some
people may see it that are more sensitive to color but others won't now
unfortunately there's no way to easily calibrate the colors on an iPhone that's
where something like the Galaxy S ten that allows you to customize the color
temperatures is really handy Apple allows you to do this on their Macs they
could easily bring that into the iPhone but currently under the settings there's
really not a way to do that they try and calibrate it for you as far as white and
trying to make white paper white and you'll see now if I go into white it's
very different it's going to change it a little bit more so it just tries to make
it more paper white depending on what you're doing and for the most part I
don't think it's a big deal but for others it's going to be a huge deal but
there's always color temperature differences between phones and that
could be an iPhone 11 Pro Max and another iPhone 11 Pro max you may see a
difference there so just keep that in mind I don't think it's that big of a
deal but wanted to do a quick comparison and show that to you let me know what
you think about the different colors of the screens in the comments below and if
you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course I'll link that for
you as well if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you
