Yellow tint on iPhone 5

Anyone else have an awful yellow tint on their iPhone 5 screen? My whites look cream and the eBay app in particular (being yellow) looks awful.


I've upgraded from the iPhone 4 and I would for sure prefer that screen over this. Crisp whites I'm surely missing.


Black 16gb iPhone 5 here btw

Hi,


I also saw the difference when I compared

Iphone 4 display with iphone5.

The i4 display appears bit bluish compared to i5.

However when I did the VIBGYOR test,

Observed that in i4 the V=VIOLET color appears as blue!

While in i5 the violet color truly is violet.


VIBGYOR test involves comparing phone display

With a rainbow image( you can get from google image search)

Set to max brightness with auto brightness off.

And then set brightness all the way low with auto Brightness off.


Thus confirmed that my iphone 5 display is true natural color display.

I know all blue sometimes looks more cooler, but

Thats not natural color.

The problem that people have is that they dont care if something is technically natural or not when you break it down. White should look white, not greyish pee yellow. All other colors should not look like it has a yellow tinted screen overlaying all the other colors. Just like the 9 colored square I posted earlier. Instead of the screen showing white, blue, green, pink, and yellow. All colors were a variation of yellow. There is a big difference between a screen having warm colors and a screen that is yellow tinted. Most here have one that is yellow tinted. White should be white. There is no way to argue against that.

I decided to buy the iPhone 5 again yesterday (after my original had yellow screen issues).


Low and behold same probelem. I took it back to the store today for an exchange and now my 3rd iPhone 5 has scuffs... Apples quality control is really dropping. Why can't they make the display look nice on the iPhone 5? My iPad, iPhone 5 and MacBook Air screens all look great.


I also now have bad build quality issues... back to the store I go.
