Hey everyone, my iPhone 15 display looks noticeably worse than other phones when watching YouTube videos. Colors look faded, whites are blown out, and there’s a white halo/glow effect around elements that other phones don’t have.
This seems to have started around 2 weeks ago and affects all videos/apps, not just one. I’m on iOS 26.4.2.
Here are comparison photos of my iPhone 15 (bottom) vs another phone (top) showing the same video at the same time:
As you can see the top phone looks much more vibrant and accurate while mine looks washed out.
Has anyone else experienced this on iOS 26? Is there a fix? Is this a known bug?
Specs:
• iPhone 15
• iOS 26.4.2
• Issue started ~2 weeks ago
• Affects all apps
Any help appreciated!
