Several posts claim the newer batch of a particular blue-dial model looks more purple than the earlier batch. Others say it's purely photography and white balance. Can we settle this with evidence instead of arguing from different photos?

The difficulty is that phone cameras adjust white balance automatically, and blue dials are especially sensitive. Two photos of the same dial under different light can easily look like a 'batch difference'. Any comparison needs both dials in the same frame, under the same light, ideally next to a neutral grey or white reference card.

Clarifying question: does anyone in the thread have access to both versions at once? Without simultaneous comparison, every claim either way is weak evidence. If not, the next best option is photos with a grey card in frame and white balance locked or set manually, which at least makes separate photos roughly comparable.
