iPhone 6 screen yellow tint?

Just got my iPhone 6 and the screen seems to be dull with a yellowish tint. It's especially noticeable when the screen is next to my iPhone 5. Anyone else having this issue? I had it on my 4S and Apple swapped my phone twice. I'm hoping not to do that with my iPhone 6 and wondering if anyone knew what the deal was.

iPhone 6, iOS 8

Well if you are that worried about getting a yellow tinted 6 Plus then I would just stick with what you have. I took the risk and got a Gold 6 Plus on launch day and did not have any yellow tint issues. I did however had a cosmetic defect and returned/exchanged for another one. Even that had no yellow tint issue. However, after 14 day of use, I noticed I had a dead pixel (or I think it's more of a foreign object because as I look at it sideway it turns white, but looking at it dead straight it is black). I went to the genius bar, they agreed that there was something underneath and have replaced for a brand new one. And the phone that I had replaced does NOT have a yellow tint at all.

I have 3 Apple products which are going to be my last. I have the iPhone 5, Slim iMac & iPad Mini Retina where they all suffer the graduating yellow tint to varying degrees - the iPad is dreadful and drives me mad. Even the Genius Bar say that this is within quality control limits (no it's not!) and any replacement that I've been offered is the same or worse. Since Steve Jobs died, this company's quality control standards have nosedived.. I was going to look at the iPhone 6 but noticed the yellow tint immediately and went for a Sony Z3 instead and couldn't be happier. How Apple can charge so much for such dreadful screen quality is just beyond me.


Apple... If you are reading this, sort out your dreadful screen problems as you're losing a lot of customers, you've already lost me. The yellow tint issue appears to be getting worse, do something about it !!!

I'm really having a problem understanding loyalty to a company that's had widespread screen problems for many years and failed to improve their dire quality control. Yellow tints, bendy case, fragile screen, dreadful battery life - I know what brand I'm NOT buying next! How do you guys put up with it? No wonder Apple does nothing. I love my 2-day-battery Sony Z3!
