IPhone 4S Yellow Spot Issue

I have been waiting for years to finally get my hands on an iPhone of my own. I have been with Verizon and was stuck using a Droid I was finally eligible for an upgrade when the 4S came out. I got one (after waiting almost a month for my pre-order to arrive at Best Buy) and to my shock my screen has yellow spots across the bottom. I have read that the spots are from the glue not drying properly. Is that true? Also, if anyone else had the same issue, did it go away after using it or did you just get a new one? From what I was reading it should go away with use but mine seems to get worse the more I use it. When I first wake up the yellow can't be seen. However, after about 5-10 minutes of use you can really see the yellow. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am really let down by this.

Two problems. I bought it at Best Buy and no Apple store (or Best Buy) near me has any in stock.
Go to the Apple store. They all have replacements. They don't use the retail boxes. They will fix it. Go now.

I want to learn how many iphone had yellow spot issue on screen?? is it a chronical issue?

i have a iphone i got it from vodafone Turkey n it has yellow spot on screen. teleservice doesnt solve my problem in warranty. but at lots of forum sites; you can see it is a chronical problem iphone

You mention having one LG G2, but two lines? What type phone is on the second line? Assuming it's also a smartphone, the ETF is $350 minus $10 for each full month of your contract term that you've completed ... and that's per phone since each phone has its own contract.

IPhone 4S yellow spot or fading mark on screen

My iPhone 4S screen suddenly has a yellow spot or fading area. What can be done to resolve it?

Did check with Apple service centre few days ago..they confirmed it is a hardware fault as the phone becomes really hot when being put on charging and simultaneously use. During this time the yellow spot also becomes more bright.

IPhone 4 yellow spot. out of warranty

is my device eligible for a new one even though is out of warranty ?
i didn't notice the spot until a few days ago.
apple declared this a manufacturing problem, so i don't see why would they not change it. the problem is i do not have an official apple store in my country and the resselers want to change the display at some cost
where can i talk with someone from apple ?

If you consider any company that abides by the terms of the warranty for a product, terms which are very clear, to be a "rip off", then you have a very skewed and unreasonable view of things. How many other devices you own do you think would be fixed without charge once the warranty expires? Do you think the manufacturer of your car or your TV would do so? If you can find a manufacturer of any product that will completely ignore the terms of the warranty and fix an item well after the warranty expires, by all means buy from them, and let us know who they are as we'll all probably buy from them.
Sorry your iPhone developed a problem, but it is out of warranty. You can live with the problem, pay for a replacement, find an independent repair service and have them perform a repair, or go buy some other phone. It's your choice.

Yellow Spots on iPhone 5 screen

Hi everyone.
As you can see from the picture, there's a faint yellow spots on the iPhone screen. The phone was purchased in December but the spots didn't appear until yesterday. I've resetted the phone using iTunes and basically ruled out this is a software issue.
I know I need to have the phone serviced if I want it fixed. But the problem is I purchased the phone from the Apple Store in Hongkong and I''m currently in the Philippines. I don't know someone currently in Hongkong to send my phone to. I just wanna ask if someone had the same experience and what they did to fix their phone. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

you havent gotten a answer ;-; well your having a very very mini kernel panic thats all

Yellow Spot on my iPhone 5 Screen

Hi I know the iPhone 4 had a major problem with Yellow spots and streaks on the screen, well I have one on my iPhone 5. I've had the phone for around a month now, I didn't notice the yellow streak which is on the top right side, untill the phone got really hot one day when using it for a long time on 3G. I't fades when the phone gets colder. for the iPhone 4 issue the solution was that it was because of the glue they used on the phone not drying out, and to leave it and it will go away...well after a month it hasn't gone away. Is anyone else seeing this? I'm about to call my providor and see if I can get a replacement before it's too late.

I, too, have the same problem.
Worse still... this phone is a replacement for my iPhone 4 which had a growing, yellow spot along the same, right-side edge. That phone (the 4) got so bad that it turned purple toward the outter edges of the yellow spot - about the size of my thumb and began losing touch-sensitivity.
This new replacement is developing the problem sooner, though. I'm concerned that if it follows suit from the previous phone - it'll become unusable while I'm still in my 2 year AT&T contract.
I'll have to see, very soon, if there's any solution to be found in my remaining Apple Care time. I was assured the 5 couldn't suffer the same fate but, then again, I could barely get the Apple lad to acknowledge this was even a known issue... despite the forums being replete with instances of it, the major tech-blogs reporting it, etc.
It gets markedly worse when running for a few minutes (ie. surfing, reading Flipboard, etc.). About five minutes of the screen being on it shows fairly visible yellow. Several minutes and it becomes obvious even when viewing a yellow-page in Notes-app.
I'm concerned even for a replacement of the replacement. I hope my luck grants me a little something this time around. I love the 5 too much but if I need to go non-Apple to survive with a working phone - then so be it.

Is anyone having issues syncing the iPhone wifi hot spot to iPad, Mac, Etc..? I constantly have to turn it off and back on to get them to connect. I with it was a little more seamless... Thoughts?

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

Yellow spot upper left corner on my iphone 4!! how i can fix it?

i have an iPhone 4 for like 8 months, 1 week ago a yellow spot appeared on the upper left corner on the screen... i left it like that so maybe it will disappear but it didn't? how i can fix this problem please! and what cause it? thanks much

If you're out of warranty you have 2 choices:
1. Purchase an out of warranty replacement through Apple for $149
2. Find an iPhone repair shop near you and see what their prices will be to fix your screen.

Recording a video for 10 minutes iOS 7.0.6 = overheating = yellow spot on the screen :(

Hello,
last night i was trying to record a video using the rear camera of my iPhone 4S, the phone started to get very hot after minute 5 and then i started to notice yellow spot on the right corner of the screen. I got scared and stoped the video before reaching 10 minutes of video recording (the phone itself says nothing about overheating).
I got the phone into my refrigerator untill the heat gone and then i looked for the yellow spot, fortunately it is gone and the screen was as good as before.
currently i'm on iOS 7.0.6 (clean restore with new setup) and now i can't use my camera without risking my screen
I read somewhere that this likely to be a battery issue, and somewhere else that it maybe caused by a software bug. how can i make sure ?!!

EDIT: I would suggest that you turn off some settings, like background app refreshing, turn on the "reduce movement" setting, you know, stuff that you might do to save battery life. This makes it so that the processor doesn't have to work as hard, because the iPhone 4's processor can barely handle iOS 7, while iPhone 5+ is made to run it. If you want to go a bit more in-depth, maybe figure out what component was under where the yellow spot was, and see what problems may have happened.

Yellow Tint issue

I know this isn't the first thread on the yellow tint issue, but I've had some strange experiences that need to be addressed.
http://lh5.ggpht.com/TLglqt0-RdM/SVlOWBinyjI/AAAAAAAAArM/ZjMXtH60po/s640/P10306192.JPG
See, when I first started using this iPhone (bought it from a friend) it seemed fine. Then moments upon boot, I started noticing this feint flickering, each time it flickered (as it still does) the screen would be "brighter" but not by the normal brightness settings... and it had a yellow tint to it compared side-by-side of my normal other iPhone.
So I explored more, and since they have both already been opened before, I reopened them and tested a theory. If this iPhone has a yellow screen, maybe the screen needs replacing. I take them both apart, swap the screens, and voila!...... still Yellow?! Hmm, so the screens not the problem...
Now I'm even more puzzled, because I'll just be staring at the flickering, so faintly but distinguishable. And if I catch the right moment for a split second it flashes totally normal, then back... its so brief, but does this mean theres software fix potential in this?
I know nothing about what to do next. Apple, the Community, someone point me in the right direction. Obviously the reason I seek help is because these iPhones have been opened before, but only to switch screens and never deeper. Does this honestly count as a warrant breach or can this be considered justifiable to replace a cracked screen on your own?
Thanks for your help!

You are absolutely right there is a difference and I have not read the small print. I'd put money on it tho. That said you may be lucky in that they'll help you even if you have defaced it.
You should find what you need [here|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_3G_Important_Product_InformationGuide.pdf].

IPhone 4s yellow screen

I have recently purchased an iPhone 4s and m facing yellow tint issue of screen.i overheard that it goes with time but want to know how much time will it take to shade away that yellow tint?

只要自己看着舒服，屏幕黄点没什么。

Another iPad2 "light leak" "backlight bleeding" "yellowing spots" thread!

I bought the iPad 2, White, 64g WIFI-only, at a Target. As soon as I turned it on, I immediately noticed a yellowish bleeding light from the edge of the display on the bottom right.
Today, I went to an Apple store and showed it to a Genius, who was "shocked" to see it when he took is to a dark room in the back and replaced it with an unopened one.
So I took it home, and guess what happened next? It was WORSE! It had light leaks, backlight bleeding, and yellow spots all over the screen! I drove back to the Apple store and found my Genius who was surprised to see me. He immediately took it the back room and confirmed the issue, yet again. So he gave me a new one.
Guess what happened next. Yup, same problem, not as bad as the 2nd one, about the same as the 1st one I bought from Target. So I went back to the Apple store, and couldn't find my original Genius. A guy called "Scotty" told me that they "ran out" and that I would have to call back on Monday and can "...reserve one if they receive a shipment, because it's an exchange."
I wonder if it's a "white iPad" issue. Some folks online with a black iPad seem to be reporting an issue.
This is quite annoying and cannot wait to get a replacement. I was at the Apple store for 3 hours today. Blah!

I am now on my 4th iPad returned and exchanged.
This time I asked for a black one to replace my white one - which I justified as "maybe this is a white issue, not a black issue, as some people report." That seemed to convince them.
So now I have a black one, which is the color I actually originally wanted anyway. My brother, who is thousands of miles away, told me his black iPad has no leaking whatsoever, which made me think I should try to the black as well.
Guess what, the Black is ALSO affected. No change. I'm tired of going to Apple store at this point. I'll just wait for a few months and exchange this stupid thing. I cant really say I didn't try. And I can't really say Apple Genius guys didn't try either.
