iPad mini Retina display with yellow tint on right side!!!!

Brand new iPad mini Retina display, got it from Apple store first day it came out. Open it out of the box, there is yellow tint line on right side of the display. it's visible clearly on white back ground, especially with iOS7, calendar app and photo app. Anybody having the same issue with new iPad mini Retina?

I got mine on launch day, it had a blue/black tint or hue on the top part of the screen. at night it was very visible. I exchanged for a brand new unit. This one is worse it has it on the top and both right and left sides! Im going in today for one last exchange and i want to see it in the store, and if its still a problem im getting my refund!

Having the same issue with mine. It goes from a purple tint on one half of the display to a yellow tint on the bottom, it is very noticeable and distracting. Also, the colors seem to be washed out and bland. I have another miniR coming in via FedEx, I'm going to check it out and if it has the same issue, I'm returning for a refund. I had an iPad AIR and that screen was gorgeous, I just couldn't get along with the size.


I love the form factor of the mini, but these screen issues is just too disappointing, specially for a $399 device.

I got my mini retina black two days ago, a bit less than two weeks after receiving the Air.


The screen is so gray it hurts. I have the same wallpaper and while the air pops out colors, the mini is dull and very disappointing.

But the worst issue I have is the tint of the screen. On one side, it's yellow, in the other it's red! And that's not due to IPS glow, as it's only a corner and not my perspective who does it. Any greyscale test shows how ridiculously heterogeneous my screen is.


Going to turn back both the Air and the Mini and look for some other manufacturer for my tablets henceforth.

I got my iPad mini retina Wifi 64 GB from UK and am noticing the yellow tint in the screen as well, up to a third of the screen above the home button is affected. Its a shame because the screen is very crisp and generally it is a great product to use but for the price this is completely unacceptable. Mine is going back to the store. Has anybody noticed if this is a fault that is widespread across all ranges of the mini retina? I would encourage all users to check this problem on their unit on a blank white screen (it may not be noticeable otherwise).
