Screen very yellow tone

Hello, I tell us.
I have the iphone 4 and not if will be my obsession or it is that it has the screen as with a yellowish tone.
They are not spots, it is not specific of the screen, but it is the tone in if of the whole screen anywhere. It is like yellowish. I have lowered, raised the sheen, removed the automatic sheen and it is still equal.
I have compared it with the screens of an iphone 2g and 3g and the difference is abysmal.
The iphone 2g and 3g they have the screens more clear, a color more alive, and the iphone 4, though one sees better for the retina display, it is a yellowish color on the whole screen.
It is like that really or is a fault?.
Have your iPhone 4 this tone more yellow than 3G or 3GS?.

Thanks, a greeting from Spain.

In comparison to the blue/white screen of my 2G iPhone the iPhone 4 has a lower color temperature.

Also when set at the same brightness levels the 2G screen is distinctly brighter than that of the iPhone 4 screen.

What proof? Why don't you just google it up? I've already told you that lcd is attached to the glass and to do so, they need to apply the adhesive glue so that the LCD can adhere to the glass. What more proof do you need?

I bet you that if you apply the same adhesive glue and apply it to the window, and put white paper over it, i'm sure at first when it's still wet, it will look yellowish color.

I'm only telling you what the genius technician have told me, and he was right that it was the adhesive glue. His mother even had this issue on her phone, she did not care about it, but after a week of usage, he told me that the yellow tint on the screen have disappeared.

Then tell me this, if Apple makes the background white in safari, settings, mail, music, photo, app store, music store, any native app that has white background, that's Apple, and they only have one and only one color which is white. Then what cause the screen to be yellow?

Have you been to ifixit.com? they do explain to use a heat gun so that the adhesive can be soften before removing the LCD from the glass, this is the same for the ipod touch.

If you still need more proof, then go google it yourself, and why don't you provide the info that it is not adhesive glue. You asked for it, you find it, and you provide it here finding proof that it is not. I have done my part. Now it's your turn.

I Google this issue but nothing comes up

And I have already have told you that this adhesive glue you keep talking about is not the cause of the entire screen to be yellow. Supposedly it was the cause of yellow spots and lines but the entire screen? I don't it. Furthermore, the iPhone 3GS had the same problem last year. The LCD and glass where not fused together like the iPhone 4 but were two separate pieces. It looks to me this is a hardware or software problem.

So if a Apple "genius" told you jump of a bridge would you? These are the same people who also claim a refurbish iPhone 4 is brand new. Don't believe everything they tell you.

Did you even look at the pictures I posted?

Sorry but you have not provided any evidence to back up your claim.

There is one other explanation for differences in screen color between models - the illumination source, presumably some sort of fluorescent source or LED source. Now these lights in other situations can give out some very differing color balances and temperatures.

So if users are seeing an over-all color cast, most likely it is not due to glue problems but to the basic color output of the screen illuminator - which probably can not be altered.

Interesting, I never thought about this.

I say it is not normal under any circumstances, unless you can deal with the yellow screen.

No. the one month period is the return policy period, where you have a month to use it and if you don't like it you can return it for a refund. All iphone should come in a 1 year warranty, adn within that 1 year, if found it to be defective than you can replace it any time within your warranty period.

I just received my replacement iPhone for 4s. It has the same yellow screen, perhaps even more yellow. I feel like this is going to be a long line of returning iPhones, hopefully I get one that is not yellow.
