iOS 12 is crucial for
Apple
Spotted by DPreview, a large number of iPhone owners (including iPhone X) have reported that iOS 12 significantly degrades the quality of their screens. Particularly low contrast levels, unbalanced colors, and overexposed black levels. And this has a dangerous side effect.
Complaints about this are spreading rapidly with important centers on Reddit and the popular MacRumors Forum, as well as many tweets about Twitter. As a user Explain:
"The OLED panel on the iPhone X had such wonderful colors and contrast on iOS 11. After the update of iOS 12, the colors and contrast were dashed on my iPhone X"
Although some of the answers are understandable, frustrating and even conspirator, the general consensus is summarized by the member of the forum MacRumors "magicschoolbus" which m said when you look at an iPhone screen under iOS 12 [to be] calibrated correctly. "
And, as Pixel 2XL users will know, poor calibration has a very unpleasant side effect on your photos.
Since most of us select, delete, and edit photos on the phone where we took them, improper calibration may result in the removal of good shots and a change in colors that spoil the view when you see it on a other screen. This can be embarrassing if you post on social media, or if it breaks your heart if it was a big hit.
Interestingly, some users point out that this problem existed in beta versions of iOS 12 (1,2), so it is very strange that it is not repaired before the final version is deployed on millions of devices (there were 12 beta).
Fixes? None for the moment Some users have found that the problem was compounded by a separate bug in iOS 12 that automatically activates the enhanced contrast in the accessibility settings, an option designed for the visually impaired (Settings > Accessibility> Contrast). But that did not happen in most cases.
So, what should you do?
If you have not upgraded, stay seated. Historically, Apple has released a minor update (for example, iOS 12.0.1) in a few weeks of generational releases. If you have already upgraded, my advice is to be very careful when editing or evaluating photos on your iPhone and use a different display, if possible.
Which is a shame because iOS 12 brings really impressive performances and the overall stability of the system is solid. But this problem is huge and Apple must deploy a fix as soon as possible …
