Has anyone noticed a yellow tint on their iPhone 4S? My wife and I both had our iPhones delivered today and both seem to have a tint compared to our previous iPhone 4. Is this the glue that has to dry? Any ideas?
.. its probably the epoxy between the glass and LCD.. takes about two weeks.
I read somewhere to turn up the brightness to max for a week. We will see...
Yes. Compared with my old iPhone 4, the 4S screen is washed out with a yellow tint. I'm not happy 😟
I am assuming that this could very well be a coulprit since Apple has extended their screen makers to I believe 3 different companies for this phone...
Same here. Hope it's just the glue. Mine isn't terrible. Just whites are a little warmer. Other colors are crisp and clear. Looked better when I increased brightness.
Im very interested in your updates....I purchased the Apple Care warranty....trying to figure out what my options are......
Do you think Apple will make some sort of formal statement ?

I guess this supports the idea that the screen coloring is batch dependent. Hopefully you will be able to find one that isn't altered in this way.
Spoke with an apple store staff member. He told me they would switch the phone out.
I had the same problem. I have used my phone extremely heavily since I got it and the tint has gone away now. Only issue I'm having is battery life problems
just wanted to chime in and say i just recieved my 4S and i did not really notice the yellow tint, untill i held it right next to the older model, and a yellow tint is very obvious !
When I bought 2 iPhone 4S Black, one of them had a yellow screen. Yesterday, I went to the Apple store and after opening and returning 3 iPhones, the 4th one was better. It does not have as cool a screen as that of my iPhone 4, but it is not very yellow.
So I guess that majority of the iPhone 4S are goung to have warmer yellow screens. Apple should have asked both their screen manufacturers to have the same color temperature so that we do not have such issues.
For those of you hoping that a firmware update would resolve this, please note that a firmware (iOS) update will not change the screen color temperature.
Warmer yellow screens do not mean that they are defective. However for the record, I prefer cooler blue screens.
It's not glue.
Update: Sent the phone back to be replaced. I think they just sent it back without doing anything to it. It's still yellow. It's still ugly. Major dissapointment.
Yeah, I notice the same thing with my 4s. But the thing is my bro's 4 has the same effect...more yellow from left, more blue from right.
Mine starts with C38.
Mine has the same problem, i just got it today and let see if it goes away in 1 or 2 weeks. Mine goes like C36G******T9V
