iPhone 5 yellow tint screen!?

Hey, well, as I am fully aware yet not expecting this for the iPhone 5, but yeah, I've got the yellow tint screen. Not the patches, the whole screen makes white look like ivory, and I don't know about you guys, but my retina/retinas in my eye/s do not make anything look ivory/yellow.


Does anyone else have this issue?

+ Do I take it to apple for a replacement screen?


Just my luck really 😟

So, I finally made an upgrade from my old iPhone4 running the latest iOS7, which had a perfect screen color calibration, to an iPhone5s runing the latest iOS8.


And now I also have the warm-yellowish screen. I also noticed that colors are much more saturated and contrasted.

After installing the apps and getting all set up, I opened VSCO Cam and some of the photos looked A LOT more saturated than what shows up in my iP4. I made a print screen and, using the shared folder, opened it in the iP4 witch showed up just the way it should look.


I mean, this is clearly a calibration problem and how the phone is rendering colors... Now working with images and having to check them on the fly and editing my mobile photos with such a difference between what things are looking like and what they really are will become a problem.


The iPhone4 calibration matches pretty much my macbook display colors. Never had a problem in 4 years, even with prints. Now I better start thinking out of the box and rethink Apple.

Guys read this old article http://www.iospop.com/apple-fixes-yellow-screen-issue-on-new-iphone-3gs-with-fir mware-5a347/ in that article yellowish screen came off since iphone 3g, but for important note that AFTER apple update the iphone 3gs ios firmware then yellowish problem gone. Ok there is possibility it because the glue or some like that, but after a year it still yellow? well something not right here. From that point i conclude that:

  1. Yellowish screen are software problem,
  2. Apple COULD fix this with ios updates

So please apple, hear us

This worked for me absolutely. I had used the torch (flashlight) function on my 5S and put the phone face down for a few minutes and forgot to switch it off; remembered, turned it off and found I had a yellow tint.

I tried Obsidian's method, with powerful torch, but it didn't work. So I went outside the house, into the morning sun - winter sun. Tried the method again and it worked perfectly. So, the concussion is that you need strong sunlight make it work. I now have a normal white screen back again. Thank you Obsidian, a perfect fix.
