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

OK then, why not check them at the store when they activate them? What are they going to do, force you to take a defective iphone?

Yes, they say it is in spec. This is why some people are upset.

*Yellow/Dim or Not ? Decide for yourself..*

*Both are the Black 16GB 3GS, and Both have Brightness set to MAX with AutoBrightness OFF*

I also found out that my yellow tinted screen has dust under the screen, looks like I will definitely be visiting the genius bar very soon.

Apple staff keeping things secret - surely not:

How did you manage to spend $800 on an iphone? Mine (brand new 3gs, straight from AT) was $257, and that was after shipping and taxes.

Wow...from my experience and others here, it's amazing you got an Apple rep to state that some screens are "bad".

Perhaps they're finally realizing that it was a mistake to deny it!

Should I go visit the genius bar now or later? I'm hoping they will get better screen replacements in the upcoming weeks.
