Back to the ugly Yellow Hue .... Great

One of the iPhone versions of the past had a very ugly yellow Hue to the screen display.

Fortunately the iPhone 4 for AT&T went back to the bluish/white hue. Much more attractive.

Now the Verizon iPhone 4 has the ugly yellow hue again. Is this correct? Holding them side by side the Verizon phone looks stale and old ....

Anyone else seeing this?

I've got both phones too. However, I wish I could say the same as you.

The Verizon display is noticeably less bright than the AT&T phone. You
put them side to side and there's definitely a yellow hue to the display,
particularly when there's lots of white, as in photo album menus. I wouldn't
call it stale, but it's getting there.

Is it a dealbreaker? I dunno. I may want to swap it out, but right now,
it's not too annoying. I just have to stop comparing it to my GSM phone I guess.

When the iPhone 4 for ATT was released, they had this same problem. Apple stated that the issue was with the adhesive used to bond the touchpanel and the LCD screen together. They said that they were making them so fast, the adhesive didnt have time to fully cure. It was suggested that the users either return the phones, or wait a week or more and let the curing complete and the yellowing would go away. I never personally saw any iPhones affected by this, but I havent heard much after that. Seems the suggestion from Apple may have been correct.
