Sep 17, 2016 7:35 AM in response to Wayiraby ryancooper73,Hello,
I thought I was the only one facing this issue! I noticed the exact same thing where my 6s displays whites that are just neutral whites and my iPhone 7 tends to be on the warmer side. I don't know why but this effect where the iPhone 7 screen is dimmer reminds me of AMOLED displays.
My idea would be that the glue between the LCD and the glass needs some time to fully dry but i´m not sure.
Also, I have noticed my iPhone 6s is a lot smoother. In particular, the animation when you click the home button feels liquid smooth on my 6s whereas the iPhone 7 feels like the animation is cut in two pieces.
Last thing I noticed over the past 24 hours is overheating. Whether it's charging, doing simple tasks, this new phone overheats very very easily.
(I apologize if there are any grammar mistakes in my post, I am French)

Sep 17, 2016 9:27 AM in response to Wayiraby Filip1912,Just got mine, and I have the same problem. Have you solved it?

Sep 17, 2016 10:03 AM in response to ryancooper73by sallenmd,Mine definitely does not have this problem. Exact same colors as the 6s I had. Some people have noted this with some iPad Pro displays as well. In your shoes, I'd take it to the Apple Store.

Sep 18, 2016 9:13 AM in response to Wayiraby ahmed51,Hi,
Yes, I confirm receiving the same. What is funny that, when I got it from one of the operator in Dubai, my device and the operator's mobile in display have the same issues. When I go to check the devices in an Apple Store or Virgin, they don't have the same issue. In other words, I believe that it is a specific stock issue.
I went to the operator, trying to exchange it, but he refused which is something not logical and not practical as well. I went to Apple store in Dubai and the team confirmed that the screen is yellow and it needs replacement; but a confirmation is needed from the tech. support personnel which is not available now.
Frankly, I am very disappointed, especially after losing my day yesterday waiting in queue to purchase it and a lot of time is spent today trying to fix the issue. Even the operator doesn't have the qualified team to troubleshoot what is the problem.
Anyway just to summarize, I am waiting for the tech. support opinion tomorrow (although it is obvious when any one can see it).
Although totally disappointed and it wasn't nice experience, I will update you tomorrow.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Ahmed Hashem

Sep 18, 2016 5:56 PM in response to ahmed51by Wayira,hello ahmed. thanks for sharing. I called apple support over the weekend and one of the tech support told me is most likely because the phone is still very new and it might take some time for the screen to "settle" to white. He told me to hold on to it for 1 week and if the yellowish screen is still there, I should get back to him and they would request an exchange at my local supplier store. Hope this info helps and I would like to hear back from you soon as well!
Thanks

I have not yet solved the issue ;/. I am probably going to hold on it for 1 week and see if the resolution improves. If not, I will just reopen my case with Apple Support and see whether an exchange could be done.

Sep 19, 2016 4:29 PM in response to Wayiraby spikesurge83,I'm on day three and I noticed the same thing when comparing with default settings and same brightness settings side by side to my standard 6 plus. Maybe my 6 Plus was like this and I never noticed it because I didn't have another iPhone to compare it to. I'm waiting to see if the yellowing (warmer) color tone lightens up a bit. Either way if it does not I'll be seeing tech support to see if we're all just crazy or if its part of the new color gamut.

Sep 21, 2016 7:34 PM in response to Wayiraby orangemartini,Very interesting. I definitely noticed a big change in color. I have both phones side by side. But in my opinion, the 6s is too pink. I always thought so, but before that I had Galaxy's. Whenever I saw someone's iphone, I always thought the white was too pink. So for me this is an improvement. The white seems more like a real white to me. I do agree, though, that it does seem a bit dimmer when set to the same brightness.

Sep 22, 2016 12:00 PM in response to Wayiraby Jaguiar92,I also had this issue and I was able to fix it through settings. Go to Settings > General > Display Accomodations. After this, turn 'Color Filters' on, select 'Color Tint' and go all the way to the bottom to change the 'Hue' to a more neutral white.
Hope this helps!
