IPhone 6-Darkish band and off yellow color top of screen on white backgrounds.

I'm wandering if anyone is experiencing the following concern that I have? I own the iPhone 6 Silver/White with 16GB mem.
Across the top of the screen on white backgrounds there seems to be a dark shadow cast from the edge.The dark shadowing is most pronounced towards the upper right corner of the screen, slightly in the bottom left (when the phone is held normal... Home button on the bottom (AKA touch ID), volume rocker on the left side).
In the first image you will observe the the upper right corner of the phone is located to the top-left of the image near "21 SEP-Sunday."
In the second image you will observe that I have rotated the screen/phone 180 degrees. The upper right corner of the phone will be in the bottom right of the image. You'll also notice that there is a dark band that runs across the top of the screen, slightly on the bottom.
I noticed this on some of the iPhone 6s at my local Apple store as well. It seemed most common with the White/Gold-silver models. The Black/Space Grays mostly had pristine screens when I compared mine next to them. I was going to show an Apple rep, but there were, no kidding, hundreds of folks waiting in two lines for an iPhone 6. So I didn't bother. I called Apple for a replacement, but they said I would need to send them the phone back first and they do not offer collateral and allowing me to keep the phone until a replacement arrives. That's bogus :-(

I decided to return the iPHone 6. I have not had good experience with Apple products. I purchased three recently, which all had major issues (purchased within weeks of the iPhone 6). I had a 5s, which was going into low-signal mode and burning out the battery before mid-day. I had a Mac-Mini that kept dropping the wifi signal and had issue reconnecting when waking from sleep (this became nearly useless for anything online) and a iPhone 5c that could not be activated (a complete brick). The 5c was the last purchase (on-top of the Mac-Mini) that made me give up. I was not going to exchange four products that cost around $2k.
I ended up ordering the Moto X second Gen. It has an amoled display and amoleds typically don't have uniformity and hot pixel issues. Also, I got accidental coverage, accessories and 32GB of memory for less than I did for the purchase of the iPhone 6 16GB (about $600 after $50 student rebate). I also found Siri was not as good as Google's voice services (or directions for that matter) and the OS was not as intuitive with multitasking IMO.
I am a fan of Apple products overall and it's unfortunate Foxconn is doing them a disservice. Hopefully you all get your issues worked out. I'm baffled at how Apple products tend to get the best reviews on screen quality. Before a review should be given on accuracy, how about back-light uniformity? That is just as important for the overall user experience IMO.

  • Iphone 5 - Switchs on and off automatically

    Hello,
    I have just encountered the following problem on my Iphone 5.
    I have bought my phone an year ago and updated IOS to IOS7 and had no issues till now.
    I was playing a game and the device shut down automaticall and immediatly reboots only to shut down again and again.
    Following is the link to the video in this regard.
    http://youtu.be/g9ssPGrZA9Y
    Please let me know of the possible solution to this.
    Thanks in advance

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again. If this does not help, set it up "as new device" How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If still no luck, repeat the set up again, this time without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt data causing your problem.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes due to switching on and off, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

  • My iphone 5 flashing on and off

    my iphone 5 went from stuck into restore setting to errors to now flashing on and off after i tried for hours to restore because of the first issue

    Check and make sure you have enough battery life left. If not, this will cause the device to flash off and on. Second you can also make sure assisted touch is on so better assist you with the device multi-touch display.
    Multi-Touch Assistaive settings can be adjusted under:
    Settings--Accessibility--Assistive Touch Enable to toggle to ON position.
    If the battery is not fully charged, plug it into a wall outlet with the proper charger and leave it plugged in until you see a Battery icon displayed on the display, once this is on you may see a little red at the bottom of the battery meaning that your battery was drained. This may also help resolve your issue.

  • IPhone 4 shutting on and off randomly and says restore necessary?

    So I was on my phone using Safari when all of a sudden it shuts off and will not respond, I tried the awake+menu and alas to no avail so I plugged it in to my wall charger and it powers on saying that it's at 100% and that it's Wednesday December31 at 7:01 then says a restore is necessary and is now randomly shutting off and on. In addition the time is changing within a few minutes of what it was before every time it comes back on. It also says cannot make or receive calls and that a restore from iTunes is necessary and it says apple.com/support. But I am not with my computer and will not be so for another couple days. Is there anyway I can do this from my phone it will not allow me to access Wi-Fi or 3G the signal bar says Searching... Lastly, when disconnected from the cord it will cut off and not respond. Sorry this was long, and somewhat crazy, but any help will be much appreciated!!

    Update: in one of the rare moments it was on I turned it off and let it sit for ~1 min and now it seems to be fine I regards to powering on and off and the time/date and battery charge yet the signal is still searching and it won't stay on unless connected to power source

  • Iphone keeps switching on and off every 5 mins and on automaticly.

    phone keeps switching on and off every 5 mins automaticly. I don't know what to do. I just did Hard Reset and it still switches off every 5 min. Please help !

    To make sure that this is not  software related, set it back to factory settings, explained in this article:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    You might have to use recovery mode to do so, if it is not recognized in iTunes:

  • My iPhone just started switching its self on and off went to a green screen then off then on any ideas only have the phone 3 months

    My phone just started switching on and off the screen went green then went off then came back on any help please only have the phone 3 months

    If the Slide to Power Off option is coming up, that suggests your power button isn't working correctly and is sticking.
    Best thing to do is bring the phone to an Apple store (make an appointment first) and have a Genius take a look at it.
