iPhone 3G S has yellowish tint

I just got my iPhone 3G S today and noticed that it has a distinctly yellowish tint to the screen. Doesn't matter what app I am using, and I've tried adjusting the brightness with no success.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

15" Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6), iPhone 3G S

Compare to find a good one for me yes, and then sell the rest after having the really bad ones replaced by Apple.

£440 ($717) for each 16GB (x4) and £538 ($877) for each 32GB (x3).

Total: $5499

If you go to your settings and accessibility and do the white to black its an easy way to tell if your screen has that yellow color but it does look pretty weird. Flashlight app works good too.

I wonder if it does have to be burned in to get brighter and whiter???

Can this be implemented in a firware update?

Or is this a hardware issue?

Test the brightness and report back. Turn off auto-brightness and set to different levels and compare. I'm curious to see how the back lighting is as mine seems off compared to my friends.

Yes, you're right. Thanks AntonioMX5 🙂

This is appalling. So very shameful.

Odd how S.J. had liver troubles which sometimes causes jaundice and now some of the 3gs's are jaundiced as well! Odd. Get well soon S.
