iPhone SE (2022) iPhone SE 2022 display quality
Having just upgraded from an iPhone 7 to the new iPhone SE, the screen is noticeably worse - whereas the iPhone 7 has a top-notch LCD panel, the iPhone SE's screen has a yellowish-gray tint to it. Is this because...
1. There's some obscure setting in iOS 15 that's throwing things out of whack? Or...
2. Apple doesn't factory calibrate the iPhone SE's display the way they do for their flagship phones? Or...
3. It's simply a cheaper/worse panel than what the iPhone 7 had? Or...
4. I got a lemon so I should return it and get another one?
I'm not expecting OLED panel quality or anything, but a new phone with a screen that's worse than a 6 year old phone that was sold for a similar price is kinda hard to swallow...

Was your iPhone 7 running iOS 15? I noticed when I upgraded to iOS 15 on an older LCD iPhone that the whole OS had a grey/green tint to it compared to iOS 14 and 13. There's no way to test this because the SE 2022 can't run 14, but it might be the software. I've noticed that each recent version of iOS is calibrated a bit different.
Also, try turning off/on True Tone. On some devices it seems to make things look subjectively better and on others its the opposite.

I was running iOS 14 on my iPhone 7, but upgraded just now as an experiment. There's no (subjective, of course) change in display quality - the screen looks just like it did an hour ago and way better than the iPhone SE. Of course, there's a chance that some setting from iOS 14 carried over during the upgrade, but I can't test wiping my phone just yet since I still need to transfer the data over.Was your iPhone 7 running iOS 15?

As for True Tone, turning it off made the display look colder but not necessarily better - rather than a yellowish-gray tint, now the tint is bluish-gray instead.
now i see it

True Tone sucks because it’s always changing the tint.
Try using Night Shift instead at a setting you like. 24-7.

I think you’re just used to your old panel and how it looks. My new SE 2022 albeit a 750p panel has a decent looking display.
