IPhone 4: display has dark spot, brightness is not uniform

Hi!
I'm Hector from Italy.
My new iPhone 4 just arrived from the Apple Online Store. It works fine but the top left of the screen has a darker spot; such non-uniform brightness becomes very evident when opening, for instance, Safari (that has a white background).
Should I send it back to Apple?
Or is this a known software issue?
If I go to Milan's Apple Store will they swap it? I would rather not stay without iPhone since all the phones I have at home have a standard SIM and not the microsim.
(without considering that after spending 800€ I really hoped to get a quality product)
Thank you!

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions....
If I go to Milan's Apple Store will they swap it?
This being a user to user forum we can't say what the policy would be at a particular store but if it were me, I'd take the iPhone and ask for an exchange. Make sure and take proof of purchase with you.

  • IPhone 5 display has stopped working. How do I fix this?

    My iPhone 5 display has stopped working. The Lock button has not been working for quite some time now, so I can't try a reset. When I plug the phone up to the computer, it makes the sound which indicates that it has been hooked up, bu nothing is displayed. It is just a black screen.

        I'm sorry to hear about your phone, frodolad_ell. It sounds like you have a defective device. Is the phone still under the one year warranty? Does the device have physical or moisture damage? Please provide me with a few details.

  • IPhone 5s display has yellow hue/warmer colors?

    Should I be concerned that my 5s's display is warmer than the display on my 4, 4s and iPad 3?
    With full brightness on each device, the 4, 4S, and iPad 3 all have, well, "normal" whites. My 5s display has a yellow-ish hue to everything. Unnoticeable on most things (like photos), but in Messages and such, it's noticeably yellow.
    Anyone else having this issue? I love 5s to death other than this, so I dunno whether it's worth getting a replacement for (or whether Apple Stores even have replacement silver AT&T 5s's at this point, haha).

    I am faching the same issue. I bought the phone here in the UK. As soon as I unboxed it I felt that the display was not as bright as my iPhone 4S. I went to apple store and got the phone replaced today. The replaced phone also has the same display issue (yellowish, creamish, warmer). I compared my phone with other phones in the apple store display pieces and discovered that only my phone has this problem. When I asked the sales person, he she said new batches of iPhones comes with this display.
    It really looks very dull, especially while using apps with white background.

  • My iphone 5 display has broken and i want to know there is any procedure to replace iphone ,it is out of warrenty

    display has broken and i have to replace my iphone 5 , there is any procedure to do this if yes then please help

    One option is to have it repaired: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/screen-damage/
    Not sure what you mean by "procedure to replace." How you would buy a new one depends on where you are located, whether you are under contract with a carrier for the old phone, etc. If you mean a procedure to move your data to a new phone, the following may help: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support

  • HT1212 How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and can not be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted.

    How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted

    Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top?

  • 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.

  • Iphone 4S display has faint diagonal lines.

    Is anyone else experiencing faint diagonal lines on their iPhone 4S screen? They are most noticeable on bright, solid colors. they are very faint but visible enough to detract from the display quality. Does anyone wlse have this problem? Should I make a warranty claim?

    Yeah I have that probablem to but it only happens when I'm not looking straight at the screen. I think it's the same with all iPhones (at least retina ones) cause I got a iPhone 4

  • IPhone 6 display has bad color accuracy?

    My mom recently upgraded to an iPhone 6 and I still have a 4S. I had the two next to each other with an called KSL Weather. On the iPhone 4S, the background of the app looked blue and normal. On the iPhone 6, the blue background was purple. I also noticed the Facebook app does not look right. The blue bar looked a little shaded out. When I open safari, the AppStore, or even settings, the white background looks kind of a blue like color. Compared to my 4S and iPad Mini Retina, the iPhone 6 looks horrible. Anyone else who have noticed this?

    Hi Rhettster152,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your new iPhone 6. If it appears that there is an issue with the image quality or color representation on the display, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful, including contacting Apple Support if necessary:
    If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
    Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • IPhone 3G Display has no background illumination!

    All of the sudden, when I hadn't used my phone for around 3 minutes, I pick it up, and the screen was all black.
    Tried putting the brightness up, no effect. Tried resetting it, no effect. Tried connecting it to my computer, no effect.
    The display isn't off, but there is no backround illumination, and I can barely outline the contents of the display.

    I don't think this is a hardware error.
    I restored my phone, and once it got into recovery mode the illumination functioned as normal.
    Then.. after some hours use, it happened again. This time, illumination went down to about 10-20%, and it started wobbeling up and down. Eventually settled at about 10% lightning, and it's in that state now too. Kinda sick of restoring it by now..

  • My iPhone 4s display has color stripes and is faded.

    Does anyone know what to do?  the bottom half of the display is grayed out and I can't see underneath it.

    Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • External display has 1440x900 resolution but is not available

    I've replaced my external display with a 19" LG widescreen (VGA) which claims to have a 1440 x 900 resolution available. However it does not come up as a possible resolution in the display prefs. LG couldn't shed any light on the matter saying it was down to the drivers and that 1440 x 900 was available in this model. I bought it specifically because the resolution matches the laptop screen.. anyone help?

    Hi Andrew,
    what was the resolution of your former external display ?
    Maybe the parameter of your formal display are interfering with your the ones for your new LG.
    Try a PRAM reset according to this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    Since Display and video settings such as refresh rate, screen resolution, number of colors are stored in the PRAM, maybe it helps.
    Make sure that the new display is not connected when doing the reset.
    regards
    Stefan
