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.

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.]

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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...

Second (2), Someone told me, It is depend on production lot some lot don't have yellow tint screen but, some lot have yellow tint screen.
Third (3), Someone told me, It is normally case of Macbook Pro Mid 2012. Yellow tint screen will be recovering when using it long time.
(In the third, I'm not believe. Because, My iPhone 4s got a Yellow tint screen too. And, I used it for 7 months. The screen was the same at 7 month ago)

My 2013 15" retina macbook pro screen has a yellow tint, should i ask for a replacement?

So yesterday i got my retina macbook pro 15 " and right away i noticed my worst fear ( since i previously had read some similar stories) my screen has a noticeable yellow tint specially on white tones, websites have a "newspaper look " to them, since i bought this computer because im starting web design in university in a couple of months i would say i'm pretty much ******, people say i shoud just calibrate it, but most people dont calibrate their screen, so it would be a mess, my work would look good on my computer but ****** on other's people computer
I'm very surprised because i thought this issue only affected the initial batch of retina macbook pros, but i checked my serial online and my computer was made in January 2013 so its quite new, the panel is a Samsung "LSN154YL01001.
I have read that usually LG panels don't suffer as much from the yellow tint but they suffered from Image retention, is it stil like this? what do you think i should do should i keep this computer with the samsung screen or get apple to give me a new one hopefully with a LG panel or at least a samsung without yellow tint

Actually MOST People that work in all parts of the Design field DO Calibrate their screens. It is the only way to make sure what you are looking at on your computer screen will be the same on other design professionals screens and to the general public.
Wherever you got the notion that Design professionals and or design schools of all types don't calibrate their screens is completely incorrect.
So it is up to you whether you calibrate or not and or to return that Retina for one that has a better color balanced screen from the start. Along with that the new unit you get may have other problems as the Retina models are plagued with random problems. The screens only be one of them.

My new macbook pro has a dull, yellow tinted screen.

I purchased a (new, with warranty) standard macbook pro 13" on eBay to downsize from my 15" 2010 model, and the screen is notably duller and has a yellow overcast to it. I have tried to calibrate the screen which helps a little bit but it still gets on my nerves and every time i go from looking at my iphones screen to my laptop screen i cant help but notice how it looks. Ive already had the LCD replaced and the screen was just as yellow. From what I've read on here already it seems to be quite difficult to get a proper working screen replacement from Apple but i was wondering did anyone with this problem get it sorted and how they got it sorted? I love Apple and could never go back to a PC but this screen is ruining it for me.
