Brand new, white Verizon iPhone4, has a yellow tinted screen.

I just bought a brand new Verizon (white) iPhone and noticed the color of the screen had a warmer (yellowish) tint to it, comparing it my iPod4 which has a cooler (bluish) tint. I then compared it to a friend's AT&T iPhone4 and noticed he had the cooler  tint to it as well. We both had the brightness turned all the way up.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I really like the bluish look a lot more because the whites look more like whites.
I'm wondering if maybe my iPhone was color calibrated incorrectly or if this was done intentionally.

Hi
How did it go with Apple customer care? Just wondering because I exchanged my white Verizon iPhone and I see it exactly the same yellowish tint on the screen and compared it to all the black iPhones they had at the store, so I'm just wondering if Apple care was able to do anything??
Thanks
I haven't called Apple's customer care service but instead brought my iPhone into an official Apple retail store. The employee has never been approached about the yellow tint yet, and assured me there was nothing wrong with it. He also couldn't give me an answer I was looking for either; if it was Apple's intention or not. He himself had a brand new Verizon white iPhone and we compared ours and they both looked the same. I showed him my friends AT&T black iPhone and set it next to mine but he really didn't notice the difference. My friend also had a protective screen over it and the employee said maybe the blue tint I was seeing was from the plastic (which I know is not the cause).
I brought it to Verizon's store and the employee there said he didn't see any real problem with it and since Apple didn't send them a notice about a recall on their iPhone's, there was nothing they could do about it.
So I thought, this is must be what they are doing for all their new iPhone's. Every new one I see, it's tinted yellow. Although when I was in the Apple store and compared it to one of the new iPad2's displays, the iPad had a blue tinted screen.
The mystery over the yellow screen continues!
[However, I've been getting used to the yellow screen and I don't even notice it anymore.]

  • Who has a yellow tinted screen?

    Finally was able to get my sister a replacement, and the first thing I even noticed without hearing or reading of the issue was the retina display seemed kinda yellowish. So I looked it up and compared, and the phone has a yellow tint on the entire screen. I can only take pics using an iPhone 3G so it would look fuzzy though.

    How is your phone?
    Also, the battery is already half gone and its had 2 hours usage. of Facebook, and some twitter. WIFI OFF too. 3G on
    My screen is just fine. I don't see any yellow tinted on it.
    I find that the battery lasts longer when connected to wi-fi then using just 3G. If I were to use just 3G, I'd probably get around where you are, as in 2 hours -3 hours of usage.

  • My refurbished iPhone 5 display has a yellow tint?

    I got a replacement iPhone from AppleCare today, and I've got everything figured out with my new iPhone 5. When I was texting my friend, in messages I noticed the white background in the messages apphas a yellow tint to it. To make sure I wasn't seeing things or anything I got my iPhone 5 that I'm sending back to Apple and I compared both displays and the refurbished iPhone (I assume it's refurbished, there is little noticeable marks here and there) has a yellow tinted screen, and it's very noticeable, regardless on screen brightness.
    Is this normal in refurbished iPhones, or any refurbished apple devices? Can I call Apple back and request a new replacement iPhone 5? The yellow tint is pretty annoying, and I have an iPad as well, so I can really see the tinted yellow display.

    Is it new? I heard it was some minor problem with the adhesive glue on the iphone, and that it should go away in a couple of days/weeks?
    If you're super concerned about it, you should go to the apple store and have them check it out.

  • Will apple swap in my black iphone 4s for a white one? Considering my screen also has the "yellow tint"

  • Brand new Nano 7th gen has no sound!

    Brand new Nano 7th gen has no sound. I've tried 3 different headphones, turned volume up, watched the bar indicate the song is on play, cannot find a mute switch (or indicator on screen) and can't understand why I can't hear music. Can there be an earphone jack problem on a brand new Nano? Help please!

    Are the headphones plugged all the way in? Does the FM radio work?

  • Chip in brand new White iPhone

    This morning I noticed a chip in my brand new white iPhone.  I haven't dropped it or anything, it's on the edge of the phone right below the button.  Should I take it in?? I shouldn't have a chip if I haven't done anything to it!

    Take it in.  You've nothing to lose.

  • Screen has a yellow tint?

    When you tilt the classic's screen towards an angle (tilted towards the top right corner and the bottom left corner) at a white background, the whole screen has a yellow tint. Is this normal?
    Thanks.

    Yes, I believe it is. LCD screens are meant to be looked at straight on to get true color and brightness.

    Hello:
    I suggest you take it in for diagnosis/service.  The problem would appear to be hardware.

    That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!

  • Why haven't we heard anything from apple in regard to the yellow tint screens till now?

    It is really sad & frustrating from Apple to get manufacturers who do not produce quality work like the others. It really more sad when I pay more than 800$ with a one year contract & do not recieve the correct handset.
    After lots of arguing & fighting with customer care in UAE, all I was able to get is a third replacement however same issue & they tell you most of our phones are like this for the black.
    What a shame Appple, am quite sad & learned my lesson, I will not rush to buy any of your products anymore, let it take its time then If you have no issues I might think about buying.
    Now what troubles me the most is that I could not find any announcment from Apple on this though there are so many users with such issue. What a shame!!!!!!!
    People out there, any news about this. What can we do.

    wissam, just letting u know that my 3 days old black iphone 4s has a yellow tint and the serial number starts with DNQ, I am very upset with this issue and will never get any apple product till all the problems are fixed

  • Apple Yellow Tint Screen

    Hi,
    I know that this problem been discussed previously here, I bought my iphone from the UK and been using it for a few months and it was perfectly fine. Now I buy a new iphone in Dubai and the screen is yellow tinted!
    I am really unsatisfied with the yellow tinted screen. The question I want to ask is, am I entitled to get a new iphone? I went back to the store exactly two hours after I bought it and they refused to replace it for me, claiming that this is Apple Policy
    Thanks,
    Alzaabi

    Hi,
    Apple has a warranty that can provide fixtures for any products that are defective and not created by the user through accidental damage.

  • Yellow Tinted Screen?

    I just got my Mini, hooked up a ViewSonic VA720 LCD to it, and the screen has a yellow tint to it. I can't get rid of it after calibrating the display. When I connect the display to my other non-Mac computers, it displays in normal color, without the tint. Any ideas? I am using the DVI to VGA connector that came with the Mini. Thanks for any help.
    -Justin

    Thanks Tim! When I go to the Apple Store, I'm assuming I should bring the CPU and the adapter...I've tried a few times, plugging things in in different order, and nothing seems to be working. There is also some horizontal 'streakiness', especially after things on the screen that contrast sharply, going from left to right. Hopefully an Apple Genius can get 'er working right soon.

  • Nano 4 with yellow tint screen at top

    Have iPod nano 4...has a yellow tint to screen toward top..have brightness turned up which makes it a bit better.
    How do I fix this??

    The warning triangle is indicating possible poor printing on that particular image.
    Most smaller images(i.e. book size) need 300 DPI for sharp images void of aliasing.
    The warning triangle is indicating that you have zoomed and cropped this image past the point of ~300 DPI and the final output my not be as sharp as it could be and you may see aliasing.
    Scale the image back down, i.e. bring some more pixels back until the triangle disappears... or close to it...
