I use the Spyder X calibrator by datacolor and update the calibration monthly. I edit my images in photoshop and I edit in sRGB colour working space (16 bit). I use an action to reduce the image size for web purposes and to sharpen it, then I save as a png and send the image to my phone via airdrop. The colour of the images on my phone appear too warm (more yellow than red), even though True Tone and Nigh Shift are turned off. Any ideas on how to remedy this? What am I doing wrong?
Note that the images print as calibrated. It is just an issue with the phone, I think.

As a side note, would recommend that you edit in the widest possible color space (e.g. ProPhoto RGB).

Greetings be_roberts,
The cause of this color temperature issue would be from the iPhone if the display on your MacBook Pro is calibrated on a regular basis. You have checked to confirm that True Tone and Nigh Shift and are disabled on the phone. We recommend for you to reach out to Apple to see if there may be a different setting that needs to be adjusted or if there are different display properties that you may be able to access to have the screen on the iPhone provide a closer representation to what you see on the display of your MacBook Pro.

What are your calibration parameters?

How does it look on a different monitor or a television? Do you still see a significant difference?

What happens if you just send the images to the phone? Especially jpegs right out of the camera?
I asked a color expert (ctein) about this, and he did not know, so you might need to adjust the colors to send to the iPhone.

When I travel I download images (CR3 files) from my camera to my iPad and they also sync to my phone. No apparent mismatch.
I also sync edited images to my iPad from LrC for use in trip journals I share; also no apparent mismatch.
OP said his monitor was calibrated but we need to know the calibration parameters. If his monitor cal is 5000K based on his viewing conditions it's going to look warm on an iPhone which appears to be around 6500K based on Google search results.

The worst results can come from a calibrated monitor.
EOS 1D, EOS 1D MK IIn, EOS 1D MK III, EOS 1Ds MK III, EOS 1D MK IV and EOS 1DX and many lenses.
