Yellow tint on iPhone 5

Now that you mention it, it does look like a monitor on warm settings.

But one of the sales points of the 5 was its better color replication. It's supposed to be the full sRGB spectrum. Which seems a false claim if it can't do white. And even more silly if 3 different iPhones will each show the same color differently.

Next they will be building cream apples stores with hold tinted glass :-)

Ps. Am interested to hear what happens to others who takes theirs back. Also interested to know if anyone's fixes itself (read about a guy who turned up the brightness of his 4s for a week, which made the yellow-ness go away)

got mine about 5pm CST yesterday ..probably have 5 hours playing with it. The "yellowed" screen from yesterday is a lot whiter this morning ... maybe it is the glue issue ????

I doubt it. You're probably getting used to it now.

I thought the screen on my 5 was fine until I compared it to my 4s.

I've bought the last three models on the first day and all have been yellow tinted. None of them have got better with time. All were take back after a few weeks. All the replacements were, luckily, blue tinted.

It seems that I haven't learnt the lesson and waited for production to settle. Then again, it may be the luck of the draw. However, I'm sure there are bluer screens out there.

Yup- exactly same issue here. I compared it to my 4s just to make sure I wasn't losing my mind.

Its one thing to have a warmer tone (my 4s has a cooler tone) but when whites and grey are noticably yellowish, that's a problem.

I'm going to wait it out this weekend (both to avoid lines and to see if the display changes a bit as mentioned), and then take it to the store and compare it a floor model. If there is a difference, I'm going to try to do an exchange.

On top of that, I have scuffgate issues. It came new with a minor (bronze in color) scrate below one of the antenna lines.

My uncle upgraded to 5 on the same day as me, screen looks identical. I wonna go into the shop to see if they have a text model that he's a pure white screen. If they don't, I'm gunna have to send it back and stick with my 4.

Test model with a pure white screen+********

It is so agrivating...

Contact an Apple worker. I promise they will know what to do.

I went into apple first, they weren't interested and sent me to my telco, since that where I got it from...

And my telco is horrible to deal with. All in all, I don't think I'll ever pre order again, waiting seems to proxy e a better phone

If you ever have droppt it or shaked it too hard it explains but if not then try some diffrent screen options.

I will say this for my situation :

The yellow tint has noticeably faded over the past 24 hours. I turned up the brightness all the way, and have used it as normal. My whites look white, grey is a little on the warm side. My blues still look a little purple, but I think it's an adjustment as a user coming from a cool tone screen to warm tone screen on iPhone 5. It generallu goong to be one pr the other. I'm pretty happy with it at the moment and hope it continues to neutralize a bit more.
