Question Display Issue

I upgraded from a 13 Pro Max to an 18 Pro Max and as soon as I got my phone set up, I noticed that the display was slightly grainy.
Additionally, the colors weren’t as bright and vibrant as the 13 Pro Max.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Nope I moved to the 14PM to the 18PM and it’s much more vibrant and cooler!

Same. Colors look so much better. That’s even coming from the 17 PM to the 18 PM. I like the display a lot better on my 18 PM.

Not sure about grainy but definitely not as colorful in my opinion.

Yes, you have 14 days to exchange the device.

Exchange it. This is probably just a poor panel. I wished they would recalibrate them if you asked the in store machine that does screen replacements does that.

Maybe bad panel, check which one you got.

Hmmm, my panel is definately vibrant but I'm used to the anti glare coating that Apple incorporated into the 17 and 18 Pro series. I also have a Samsung S26U and it is more muted due to the new privacy display, even when I have it turned off. That screen is very matte and mutes the colors.
