Isn't "brighter, more saturated" basically the opposite of "more washed out"?

I’d focus on crappier. :)

I would guess that OP means that it is overly satured, and therefore that some color information is lost.

I noticed this sometimes happening for a few seconds when switching out from some apps that play video while having high brightness. I haven't had it occur permanently, though.

And I thought I was just imagining things. Then again I always had the feeling that the color profile slightly adjusted after major iOS releases. It always felt slightly off for a short time.

I saw some weirdness on my iPhone 7 Plus also. The green icon for the Nextdoor app seems different/brighter. I thought it was just me, but perhaps it's not.

My device is experiencing this strange problem as well. Glad to know it is not just me.

Just on the lock screen for me.
