Ipad Air yellow screen tint on left hand side?

Hier in Deutschland ist dieses Problem auch vorhanden.

Alle iPad Air Geräte mit meinen gekauften eingeschlossen haben das Display Problem auf der linken Seite. Wenn man auf das Display geht und die Apple Tastatur aufruft und Sie in 2 teilt, sieht man auf der linken Seite ganz klar und deutlich einen Gelb stich.

Ich bin mit meinem Latein am Ende. Ich denke es wird Zeit, dass Apple das Problem offiziell bestätigt und den Leuten einwandfreie Geräte zum Austausch anbietet.

Moin!

Das ist echt bitter, kann ich bestätigen! Mein iphone 5S hat genau das selbe Problem und das Tausch gerät was eine versiegelte Retail Box war ebenso! Beide iphones Factory C4, China. Week 42 (October)

Sad as F.....

Ja ich finde es wirklich sehr bitter.

Schlimmer finde ich aber die Tatsache das mir mehrere Mitarbeiter des Apple Stores das nicht bestätigt haben. Obwohl man das Problem eindeutig sehen konnte.

Aber außerhalb bei meinem Familien oder verwandten Kreis eindeutig der Gelbstich erkannt wurde.

Ich wüsste gerne eine Lösung von Apple die befriedigend für die Benutzer ist.

Es kann nicht sein das man sich das iPad Air oder sonstige Geräte auf gut Glück kaufen tut.

Eine gewisse Qualitätssicherung muss einfach gewährleistet sein.

My ipad replacement that I requested LAST monday the 12th FINALLY shipped this evening... Unfortunately it's going to arrive on Monday, and I leave tomorrow for Thanksgiving break. It'll sit in the mailroom for my building for about a week before I can check it out. I really hope the delay is worth it and it's a good screen. Mine isn't shipping from China, it's shipping from Reno, NV. I'm about to exchange my 5S again for my umpteenth one... Seriously, I've lost count of those.

I am so sick and tired of backing up and restoring every two weeks. Arghhhh. I'm so glad I didn't have the IR problems with my rMBP. I had bright spots and they replaced the clamshell and the new screen is perfect aside from the fact that they put the new screen on off-center, but that's an easy fix at the Genius Bar.

These iDevice screen defects are ridiculous.

I went to my local Apple reseller today, and the displays they had on the floor were perfect. I compared my defective, **** yellow iPhone 5s screen and it was night and day. The iPad Airs are gorgeous, bright, and clear. This is what we're after. Don't settle. Apple is promising the "floor models" not the defective, 2-toned nightmares we've purchased. My resolve has been steeled...

Hallo alle zusammen,

ich habe heute mal bei Apple angerufen und wurde zum technischen Service weiter geleitet. Dort hat man das Problem zwar schon teilweise gehört aber noch nicht in den ausmaß, wie die User hier es beschreiben.

Fazit: Nach 50min Gespräch bleibt einen nur die Möglichkeit das iPad Air mit linkem Gelbstich umzutauschen und zu hoffen, dass man eine bessere Marge erhält. Wie wir auch als Betroffene darauf aufmerksam machen können, ist, wenn wir das Problem direkt per mail, an Apple Feedback senden. Auch heute habe ich mir mehrere iPad Air Geräte im Einzelhandel angeschaut und alle hatten das Problem.

Viele User fragen sich, woran man das Problem erkennt.

Man sieht es sehr gut in der Senkrechten Haltung vom iPad Air.

Am besten ruft ihr Safari auf und geht auf die Browser Suchleiste. Dann öffnet sich automatisch ja die Tastatur Eingabe des iPad Air.

Wenn ihr die Tastatur dann in 2 ebenen einteilt, seht ihr auf der linken Seite eine deutliche Verfärbung ins Gelbstichige. Man erkennt es sehr gut das man 2 Farbebenen im Display hat den die rechte Seite ist weißer als die Linke. Noch besser sieht man es, wenn man das Einstellung Menü aufruft. Die linke Seite ist komplett Gelb. Bei ibooks fällt die Gelb Darstellung auch sofort auf. Im Prinzip auf allen Weißen Flächen oder auch auf Grau sieht man es sehr gut.

Die Fotos hier im Thread zeigen auch noch mal deutlich das Problem.

J. Dawg,

Checking in to see if your iPad Air is still "perfect" after having some time with it? If so, what is the 5th letter in the serial as it is the production week I believe? I've returned a few DMPL's already with various "5th" letters (prod weeks).

Thanks

The Air was the first time I have ever purchased an Apple product on launch day and did the arrive at store opening on Nov 1st thing - but I never would have expected what I have been through with these Apple iPads...

to date I have exchanged/returned 9 iPad Airs and 1 rMini and currently own neither product. In each case there was either bookspine issue, yellow tint on the left hand side, or dust/lint under the screen - and in each case either the Apple store or BB told with me that there was a problem with my iPad and that it needed to be exchanged. After opening many new iPads and inspecting them/turning them on to check the screen, etc. neither store was able to find an iPad without one or more of these problems. I believe I reached my return limit at both stores - for me personally I almost felt humilated going back into the Apple store so many times and felt like I was going crazy and seeing things - however each exchange/return I was assured by the store that these were legit problems.

I have never had an experience like this before - at this point I am scared to buy another iPad... it ***** because I love the other Apple products I own but this has been crazy - and made me a little crazy in the process I think. And I stil have no iPad😮

I'm having a similar problem here in Ireland. I purchashed my ipad Air in CompuB apple reseller. They were and are very helpful. I picked it up on launch day and its the first time i have purchased any product on launch day.

yellow white to blue white left to right of screen in portrate

pink and yellow light bleeding on dark screen

Its an LG display as far as I can tell.

I have been waiting 3 weeks now for a replacement as they are unable to obtain stock of the iPad air in 16,32,64,128 GB white and black. The lack of new stock would suggest that the display issue is causing a delay in supply.

I had a deposit on the rMini but have purchased the standard mini as I have heard similar complaints for the rMini. Looking at the display units in the store they all have the exact sane issue and I got the impression the staff could see it but were afraid to admit it. I decided to get a refund.

Really really disappointed as I have sold my iPad 3 which was like new and had a perfect display. Not sure what to do, wait until the New year or take a chance and order direct from apple online????

I went to a local Apple store to see the "problem" yellow hue first hand. It's very difficult to critically evaluate this screen with the bright light you'lll find at a retail store; the ambient light fills in the colors, making the display look more flattering. But under darker, less flattering conditions, the Air is less appealing - especially at the price.

The iPad Air's design probably looks fine with a high-quality screen, but it requires some help with the current screens. Eventually, when the demand quiets down, Apple will probably use top-notch screens again. (They'd better; Apple doesn't want to have to struggle with the press once people start writing articles and blogs in earnest.)

I was going to get an iPad Air, but I'll wait until Apple cleans house.

Definitely no chance they will address the issue in public. They have no choice but to address it behind the scenes and start putting out good units to stop the rot because there is a lot of chatter about this issue and no action will result in poor sales for Xmas and possibly resulting in a very costly flop.

Having same issue with my iPad Air DLX series.. Sadly I had the same problem with the iPad 3 (first retina iPad).. Would have thought they'd have sorted this out by now. I bought mine from the online Apple store, so as before, I gave a call to the customer service which is top notch as always, except this time round it's been 4 days and their "engineers are still looking into the issue".. Which could be a good thing... Hopefully they're trying to resolve this at the root, and I won't have to do half a dozen returns to get one with a perfect screen.

Apple you need to stop getting screwed by your suppliers! I miss the old days when it's Jobs screwing them instead... :(

Spoke to amn Apple senior advisor today about the yellow tinting and book spine issues. As usual professed to never having heard of it before. Curiously, however, after I referred to the dark left edge problem as the "book spine" effect he referred later to it as a "bookbinding" effect. Sort of suggests that Apple has an internal label for the problem and that they are indeed aware of it, if not admitting it to customers. They are sending me in to the Apple Store for "approved repair" -- AKA replace with a similarly flawed unit from the initial run.

Hi there, it seems I'm quite lucky with this issue. Though my Ipad Air has slight yellow tint on left hand side, it's not very severe. I am going to keep it cause if I replace it with a new one maybe the problem will still be there or be even worse.

We are not alone. I've searched for this issue in Chinese websites and obviously it's a really popular problem. According to a major bbs for apple users, almost all the respondences reported this issue.

I got ipad air and ipad mini retina yesterday in Oklahoma and unfortunately there are slight dark book spine on the left of ipad air display and yellow tint on bottom of ipad mini's display, both in a vertical position. I'm exchanging ipad mini because it looks as if someone peed on the bottom of the screen but I'm debating if I want to keep ipad air since the book spine effect is less noticeable. Purchasing new device like iPads should be enjoyable. This is very, very disappointing that we have to deal with these kind of quality issues.
