Mac vs iPhone display after export is completely different

Thanks for checking those! Since Night Shift, True Tone and the Mac's color profile are all ruled out, the remaining difference is coming from the displays themselves — the Mac screen and the iPhone screen are different hardware, and without calibration no setting will make them match exactly. The practical workaround: calibrate the Mac display if you can; otherwise do your final check on the device where the photo will be viewed most (e.g., judge the AirDropped file on your iPhone before sharing).

No night shift is on :( . The Mac is on default as well. No changes sadly.

Hi! Two uncalibrated displays will simply render the same file differently, so some difference is unavoidable — but "dark & orange" on the iPhone points to a few specific things worth checking:

- Night Shift on the iPhone (Settings > Display & Brightness). It's separate from True Tone and is the classic cause of a warm/dark shift.

- On the Mac: System Settings > Displays > Color profile. Make sure it's set to the default profile for your display, not a generic one.

- Keep viewing the AirDropped file in the Photos app, which is color-managed.

If it's still way off after that, the displays themselves are the limiting factor — calibrating the Mac display is the real fix. Hope that helps!
