In the last few weeks many claimed the yellowish screens on the New iPad was just from glue not drying yet. Have your yellow screens whitened up? How long does it take for this glue to dry? I believe my 32GB black wifi week 8 New iPad has whitened some.
iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi, iOS 5.1
It takes as long as the replacement does.🙂
I dont think this is a matter of time, i dont ahve the patience to wait, i gave mine for replacement today
My personal speculation is not glue and I dont think its the answer. I'm thinking it to be the supplier of the touchscreen panel (outermost glass panel of the screen) Chi Mei, TPK or Wintek's parts are giving the tint. Glue itself is applied around the opaque parts (under the white/black frame) of the display panel and how would it be a case where the absolutely transparent plastic has a layer of glue applied which caused the screen to be yellowish?
Also if you were to look at Bloomberg's New iPad teardown at IHS iSuppli video, It is true that glue is not being applied on the transparent part of the touch screen.

By the way I think you're getting used to the yellowish tint. I think you got an issue.
The video was interesting...thanks! I purchased a New iPad on the first day of sales (64GB..wifi). I returned it 3 days later for Dullness and Yellowing of the screen, compared to my iPad 2. We checked on another identical model out of the box and it was the exact same. I decided to try the 32 GB wifi and immediately out of the box the colors were bright, like they should be. I took it home and compared to the iPad 2 once again it was very Yellow! I have kept it and compared to iPad 2, which my husband is using the New screen has definitely whitened up these few weeks! I see a very big improvement and I was wondering if others have noticed it also?
Has Yellow Screen Whitened after glue has dried?
