iPad Pro screen is yellow

Just got my new iPad Pro and love it, best iPad ever. But I've noticed the screen color temperature is significantly shifted more toward the warm/yellow tones than my other two iPads, which are cool/bluish. I like th blue better, it makes whites look cleaner. I was wondering if this is a common issue?

the only way to know is go in the store and all the store versions are 32gb and white ..and compare your one that looks like its white ad you will be surprised it is far more yellow..i think its one of the best devices you can purchase for an artist and I have Wacom companion 2 and surface pro 4 and im not bios..i will keep trying and after maybe my 6th ipad pro I will just have to give up..to me the cooler tone feels better on my eyes so maybe im sensitive to the yellow tone..its more a dirty screen affect ..I find this article interesting in the fact if apple are using say sharp ,Samsung and lg how can this review be accurate ..its all so annoying ,people my friend say im picky but for £800 I have a rite to be I want perfect..i had the same problem with the ipad air 2 and went though 5 of them and the 6th one was near perfect ,I don't really want to be going though all that hastle again

went back to the apple store Liverpool today to give my 2nd ipad pro 128gb back..i then tried 2 brand new ones next to the display models and even the 2 lads who helped noticed how yellow they were compared to the 32gb display model..im so annoyed I just don't know what to do ..I don't think there is a 128gb that hasn't got the problem I can keep this one until the 20th jan then just take it back and either get a refund or change it..i just want an ipad pro with a white screen

they may use Samsung after Christmas or just keep using sharp ..I would like to know which is causing the yellow tint is it sharp or Samsung ..no definite answer ..I sketch a lot and like a white screen .my Wacom had a yellow tint but I was able to calibrate the display ..the ipad pro is a uniformity problem ..the whole screen should be white like the 32gb models ..I think its an amazing device but at its price point the quality control is lacking

Since we're discussing yellowing screens, I just took a look at my 6th gen iPod Touch that I purchased in July and even it has a yellowish hue screen.

I use this mostly as my music player, to take phtos and to check email and weather on the go. Plus I sync this to my Pebble Smartwatch.

So, I dont use this to actual drawing or notetaking on. So, the yellow screen is really not a big deal the way I use my iPod Touch.

I use my iPads for more creative and more for laptop-like use.

My latest iPad Pro has sort of a color gradient going from top to bottom. It's a bit yellower/browner at the top and gets bluer/whiter toward the bottom. I'm kind of tired of playing screen lottery so I'm going to keep it a while and see if it evens out. Maybe this is that infamous glue you always hear about. I feel like the effect is getting less pronounced, but I'm not sure. If it isn't cleared up by the return date on the eighth I'll exchange it.

Let me share my expirience: after 3 iPad Mini (2 16GB and 1 64GB) returned back for the yellow issue on the screen, I have decided to change, so I have bought a iPad Air 2 16GB. Also this device had the same issue on the display, but after about 10 days of usage the display appears whiter than the first days. So some rumors on a problem that solves with the usage seem to be true.

hi having had so many ipad air 2 s and lots of other apple stuff the glue thing is utter rubbish .its the factory the panels are made in ..its not even a calibration problem because if it was the whole screen would be yellow ..the screens I have are all blotchy not uniform which means poor quality control that's as simple as it gets ..one part of the screen white and another part yellow for £800 no thank you

So, maybe I'm imagining it, but it looks like the blue part of my half yellow, half blue iPad is creeping higher. Be interesting to see how much it's changed by the return date. Also, my obsession with this has made me notice my iPad Air 2, which I would have told you was perfect, also has a slight uneven tone. It's so subtle I didn't notice it for a year, but it is there.

decided to go to another apple store today ..they opened 3 ipad pro 128gb and I put them side by side with the 32gb and once again the tint was awful ..the 32gb uniformity was superb but alas the 128gb were dreadful ..how anyone would put up with this is beyond me ..ive gone the surface book route and the screen made by Panasonic is gorgeous lovely whites ..im waiting to see what Wacom bring out but sadly im finished with apple now ..dreadful displays the 128gb I cant believe how bad they are when compared to the 32gb model

good to see another forum with the same problem. i actually think the ipad pro with the pencil is far better than Wacom and n-trig but the yellow screen destroys the experience for me..also with Samsung bringing out the 12inch win 10 tablet with oled screen and Lenovo with the xt1 yoga and 14inch oled the yellow tint will be a thing of the past..organic light panels are the future and destroy any other panel out there

so... perhaps you should just buy something else and move on.

It's become "The andrewfromwallasey Forum", hasn't it?


I find myself wondering if;

a) You aren't some plant/Apple Flamenista grinding away

b) You are some OCD nut-job with a personal axe to grind, and whose majillion trade-ins has been the sort of thing that has made it tricky for regular folks to get just a normal and far less demanding trade-in/return in recent days

or

c) You are a previous poster,(beginning with "ab"), and still grinding your anger in this tint-specific forum.


Probably a combination of the above.


In any case, some of us just have an interest in seeing how the yellow tint thing is REALLY going, (for regular people), trying to post up possible answers and fixes, keep tabs on it before we buy the Pro.

Not read pages and pages of how picky,("I'm picky, I know"), andrew is, and how he sneers at people for not being as picky as he is. His poor friends. Who aren't,("arnt"), bothered like he is.

Bet the Apple stores near you won't even let you look at iPad Pros any more......


anywayz.

Buy one of the other brands that you are adverting in here, and get a life. It must be EXHAUSTING to look at every single iPad Pro within a 1250 mile radius and your wife had GOT to be getting fed up by now.

(eesh. I am typically good natured about this forum stuff. I am just getting tired of getting an email suggesting a new post on the thread, then tune in to find its just another andrewfromwallasey rant.

it's wasting the time of we innocent bystanders, and it's become ANNOYING. sorry to everybody else for my irritation.)
