iPhone 4S screen tint

i bought my iphone 4s 800 eur in Cyprus and it has yellow screen, less contrast than my previous mobile phone (iphone 4). i have it 2 month now and the sreen has no change since that time. so forget about the glue issue. there is some issues and there is not a respond from apple about it. i am tired

i will sell this iphone 4s sick to get a new samsung android. good bye apple

UPDATE:

Returned my 7^th iPhone 4S yesterday which had a yellowish screen. Emailed Tim Cook again today to inform him how disappointed I was with the quality of these iPhones, don’t expect a reply. To pay almost $1000 Canadian for a 64GB, the iPhone would have to be perfect and I shouldn’t expect anything different from Apple. Received another phone call today from someone at Apple who provided me with an update from our emails and last phone call. I had previously provided her with some of the serial numbers from the yellowish screened iphones that I had returned. She stated that the department had checked our some of the 7 iphones that I returned and deemed that the screens were within specifications and acceptable. She told me that there was no issue with the screens and no requirement to change the LCD manufacture or implement a color temperature and contrast options in the settings menu. I had some difficulty yesterday trying to return the 7^th iPhone but finally succeeded. So, with Apple stating that there is nothing wrong with the LCD screens and no action is required, I will NOT be ordering another and will wait until the next iPhone release or just may buy a different brand. I’m so sick and tired of ordering, waiting, receiving and returning these iphones and with the information provided by Apple, I’m at the end of the road and will stick with my iPhone 4. If any of you think this issue will be rectified, think again. You will need Apple to admit there’s a problem and they indicated to me today that there isn’t. I indicated to her that I’m done trying to purchase an iPhone 4S and may totally forget about Apple and that there’s many more Apple loyalist in the same situation. Shame on you Apple! Good luck everyone.

Just recieved my 6th UK iPhone 4S in 5 weeks today and it's got a good white screen, serial no. starts DNQ. Previous 5 iPhone 4S's with yellow screen were all serial no. DNP, coincidence????? Still not the cool blue of my iPhone 4 but now it's the same nice white screen as 3 of my friends iPhone 4S's. 🙂 at last.

Warning: I made another post here today with an update on a call I received from Apple indicating Apple checked out my returns and deemed them to be within specifications and acceptable. So, Apple does not see an issue and will not provide a solution. I also provided a couple email addresses so people could seek help, my reply was edited with some information removed, email addresses deleted and my account was banned which prevented me from being able to sign in. I guess it was the email address posted that got me banned. So, they are reading our posts. I want to try again to get another 4S but currently unsure if I will have an issue with returning it. Awaiting a reply from Apple Relations.

Consistency is an essential element of great businesses be it coffee, fine dining , great burger joints, movie theaters or clothing. Apple is the king of this, but I think they've got a problem here that they need to address. I'm on my second 4s and I'm not sure what to do. First one was pitched green. The one I'm typing on is yellow.

UPDATE:

As I promised to give an update, got my 3rd iphone 4s 32GB white unlocked shipped from LA just now(instead of shipping directly from the factory from China), I am disappoint to see the 3rd iphone has a yellowish screen once again, it's just like my 1st, which is even worse than the second one, oh dear...

I've been chatting with a lady from Apple both by email and phone. After she had the hardware department perform some tests on the LCD screens, she called me back to inform me that Apple deemed the screens to be within specifications and acceptable. Thus, there is no issue and they will not replace the screens or place any settings to adjust the temperature. I was also told that I would not be able to do a return due to a yellowish screen issue. For online orders, you have 30 days to return the iphone ????????? Apple will not admit to this problem and I was told that there is noting to fix. I'm done with trying and wasting my time. The employees at Apple must be blind and/or dumb if they can't see a LCD screen issue here.

Despite lots of customers having yellow screen issue all display iPhones at apple store have perfect screens. I changed three phones at Apple Regent Street Uk and they all were lemons, but in spite of that fact all display models were just perfect there. Why? Are they picking out better phones in order to cheat on customers? You see nice bright iPhone 4s on display panel and you buy one brought from warehouse by genius, and when you come home, unbox it, it turns out that you have bought something different from what they advertise on display panel, you bought a lemon!

I suggest you all to buy iPhones from dispay desk, if they try to sell you a lemon from warehouse just don't buy and leave.

More likely something far less sinister. For example all the display units are likely from a singl pre-production batch from a single plant and where built before the yellowish screens it into the supply chain.

I would think that customer satisfaction is a legitimate concern regardless of design tolerances etc

Actually, I'm already swap 5 iphones and pretend to be a one of the most hated by Apple person. But... Color temperature, tint... Don't you going to do designers work on the PHONE? Could you imagine that only the MONITORS for professional color correction costs twice as much as the iPhone? If it's not really pink, or yellow, or blue... Why to complain?

Very strange. I changed three also in the same Regent Street. And all of them was neutral white. And I bought the third one, and they was also white..

Well I got 2 iphone 4s 32GB blacks last week within a couple of days of each other from the same Telstra store. The first still showing a yellow tint, while the second one (bought later) doesn't. This is just not good enough, and Apple needs to do better.

Got my 4s on 20th december 2011 ,and bought another new 4s few days ago,just realised that both 4s have different colour screen.My older 4s has a yellow tint,it frustrates me,went to the telco and promised to change a replacement for me,but i am WORRIED the new replacement will also be the same!

We spent so much on a EXPENSIVE phone but why it always upset us.

I finally got the most amazing iPhone screen I've seen( after replacing 3 4s that were yellow). This one is crips, blue and bright and vibrant. I love it! I won't let go of this baby. My friends hate me.

It's a white iPhone 4s starting with serial C38. I've owned every iphone since the 3Gs came out and this has been the nicest screen yet. 2 of my friends have white iPhone 4s but are yellow. I started off the same way as well until now. I'm lucky. My suggestion is to keep trying. I KNOW how depressing it is to get a yellow iPhone.
