Iphone 7 and 7 plus's screen dimmer/yellowish than iphone 6 and 5s

After all tries and color filtering stuff, nothing helped... My eyes ached from this display. Eventually i returned it and hope that Apple is going to make some new Revision of the iPhone with improved display tone and brightness....( Gonna stick with my 6s until then...

What might be worth a shot? Trying to return a phone with a pale yellow screen to get a replacement that is not defective.

I have an iphone 7 with a yellow and dimmer screen compared yo my 6s. All the 7’s at my Apple store were yellower and dimmer too. Bummer. Keeping my 6s.

I just got an iPhone 7. The screen is definitely dimmer. The settings display brightness adjustment slider affects the brightness only about 1/2 way to full. Seems like no change in brightness after the midpoint on the slider.

i have the same issue with my 7. I compared it to another 7 and mine definitely has a warmer display. It's also warmer than my 5C, 6s and ipad air 2.

I tired tuning the screen with this method. Yes the screen looks a lot more 'normal' but the temperature of the white is never the same as my other devices.

Yes, mine too.

Apple should make an explanation about this issue asap.

It's quite irritating color for a phone with thousand dollars.

It's a shame....

Same issue here - i7 from AT&T. The screen has yellowish tinge that becomes easily apparent when comparing next to an iPhone 6. The whites on the iPhone 6 are much more white and true. iPhone 7 looks like crap in comparison.

And there's something screwey with my auto brightness. It keeps the screen very dim in a well lit room when it should be brighter. Very disappointed with my purchase and hope that Apple can patch this via software update. Changing the hue doesn't fix anything and wouldn't recommend anyone do that to try and fix this problem.

I waited 2 hours in the Apple Store yesterday (granted walk-in, but was originally told 30 min) to get my i7 ordered direct rom AT&T replaced due to this issue, and the new one has the same exact issue. Defective products at a high cost. Is this is the new normal we can expect from Apple?

I compared it to the demo i7's in store which didn't seem to have the issue. It's also the same model that apparently has slower Intel modems. Some acknowledgement from Apple would be a nice gesture. Otherwise I will jump ship first chance I get. I don't like being taken advantage of like this and wasting tons of time trying to figure out THEIR problem.

Hi,

I'm facing the same issue. 7s plus (less than a week old) seems yellowish compared to my 6s plus. Did your new replaced phone is the same? I was thinking about replacing mine with a new one.

Appreciate your response.

Thanks,

Adi

I just got my iphone 7 plus today. Im extremely disappointed with the display. It is yellow compared to my 6s plus. This is completely unacceptable ot me. I will be getting a refund from apple and stick with my 6s plus. Apple has really lost its way.

Yep - they should at least acknowledge the issue and open a replacement program if it can't be fixed via software update. I used to choose Apple because it made my life easier, now more often it inconveniences me and wastes my time.

Oh and pretty sure the auto-brightness setting or sensor is defective also. My screen gets way too dark when it should be bright. Same deal on my original i7 and replacement.

Im really thinking about returning it for a replacement. Should i even bother or just get a refund and wait for the next iphone. Ive had every iphone since they came out. I would be really disappointed.

I got mine replaced (and wasted a whole day waiting practically) only to get a replacement phone with the same defects. I've considered selling it off or returning it for an SE, but haven't wanted to deal with anymore headache for now. Not sure I'll be interested in the next iPhone if it's going to be the same experience as this. It's unacceptable.

Yea, I found the same issue to my iPhone 7 Plus as well right after bought. Been talk to Apple Care Line, been to the place purchased, Apple Service Center, here and there. It is really caused me much of hassles to claim the device. At last, I give it up after days ago. Stay using it by adjusted the Colour Filters. If u guys have any latest update to solve the problem, kindly drop here thanks. 🙂
