Yellow spots on the screen

I would return it and get another one. This is the first I have heard of this.

Are they in a matrix pattern? Or just scattered?

To be honest, I thought I saw these yellow splotches (small splotches) myself, early when I bought it.

I thought I was looking at a bright yellow light (like glancing at the outdoor light) and then looked at the iPhone screen. (And you know when you stare at something bright and look elsewhere quickly, you get that natural aversion to bright light affect.)

Then the next day I saw it again on the iPhone, knowing that I didn't look outside at all.

Thus, you may be right, it might have something to do with the heat generated by the phone.

However, since then I've never seen those yellow splotches again. I have had the phone since the iDay.

Yes. The splotches were very transparent, but noticeable.

I saw them the first TWO days only. But they went away.

AND I've heated up the phone many many times since then.

Nothing now.

(It's interesting that yours is just happening.)

Have the same problem - mine are white rather than yellow though. Took the phone to Apple Store, and it's getting sent out for repair. Have a loaner in the meantime.

I have the same problem, but its not spots, on the right side is one long line of yellow only viewable on the white area. Very annoying.

Here it goes, I took my phone back to apple just now and they changed it with a new phone and all accessories with no questions ask....Apple Rocks!

I started seeing two yellow blotches shortly after purchasing the iPhone. But they are not always there. It was then that I noticed the slightly yellow spots occasionally on the bright white of a computer screen as well. The spots are very noticeable if I tilt my head from side to side.

I wondered if my eyes had damage, so I had an eye exam the other day. The eyes are fine. The eye doctor also saw yellow spots on the iPhone too. The effect is more noticeable if you view the top level email accounts screen that is mostly white then switching the iPhone between the portrait and landscape mode.

The doctor couldn't explain why these spots appear!

I see these blotches in my vision as well, and while the first time I noticed them was on the iPhone, I, too, now can see them on a brightly backlight LCD screen, a la my laptop.

I have a couple of vitreous floaters, I wonder if it could have something to do with them? I DO NOT think its a problem with the phone though, most likely a biological reaction to the bright LCD 😉
