p.p. If you shift your view (tilt it), do you still see them? Mine like I said are showing on and off depending if I tilt a bit my head which I found really weird. (all red so far like authors post)
i don't know and cant test that anymore since i returned the phone already 😅

Another update from me. So I don't have dead pixels. It's some really really small dust particles (microns) which cover the pixel - ie. that's why I can see them working from side. I also turned off the screen and put like needle point on the pixel, than used a flashlight with the magnifying glass. Yes I see a bit of dot (gray-ish) dust. Feeling better. :D

Sure. I push my thumbs that you get pixel perfect screen. Share results when you have some. :)
Not really an update but my sister bought a 14PM and her screen is perfect, lucky her haha the only """defect""" she has on her phone is a hairline scratch on the apple logo but she doesn't really seem care because it will get scratched up anyways in the future.

I hope you checked it really good! :D Mine I can't see without magnifier. If i stay like 2-3 cm from screen its flawless. Same even if the magnifying glass is not "glued" to my eye for MEGA zoom. :D But it's dust .. so yeah.

Well that sucks than. It was than 100% dead. I checked all and I have zero dead. Just the three dust dots. Since I've reached to a conclusion I'm out of that s**t and I won't look anymore. :D

Several members of my family who are also deeply entrenched in the Apple ecosystem had to go through a number of iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Maxes due to dead pixels out of the box. Hopefully the QC on the upcoming 15s are much better. 🙄
