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.

    My iPhone 4S which is 1 year and 10 months old has developed yellow spot on left side of screen. Otherwise iPhone works perfectly but that yellow spot continuously annoys me.

  • 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.

  • I don't know why but I have a yellow tint on my iPhone 4 screen

    I bought a brand new iPhone 4 in Egypt on it's first day of official release from Vodafone store, I've been using it for 9 month and never had any big issues with it, was all minor issues, but since few days I've noticed a yellow tint on the screen and it looks very ugly and annoying , I searched the problem on the Internet and found out I'm not the only one having this issue, it's really disappointing to see such stuff on iPhone 4 screen, I would like to know if I go to Vodafone store and ask for replacement will they replace it or I have to go to apple store??

    No web site expert here but I would suggest changing the .m4v to .mp4 and ask one of those friends if they still have problems.  .m4v is something I always associate with iTunes and don't really see it used elsewhere.

  • 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

  • Iphone 5 screen damage

    Recently dropped my iphone 5 resulting in a cracked screen, now there is a yellow spot/stain around the crack site. I'm wondering whether replacing the screen will fix the yellow spots.

    Take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for evaluation.  They can tell if the entire phone needs to be replaced or if they can replace the screen.  Some Apple stores in the US are now able to do repairs on the iPhone 5 series.

  • What should i do if my ipod touch 4 th gen got yellow spot on ecreen

    my apple ipod touch i bought on last september but from four month i see some yeollow lines going on two sides of my screen and now i start seeing some yellow spot in middle of the screen what should i do

    If the problem persits after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem.  In that case an appointment at the Genius Bar of an apple store or returing it to Apple is in order.

  • 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.

  • Display trouble (yellow spot) on iPhone 4

    Dear Customer Service,
    I have an issue considering my iPhone 4. It was bought 2 years ago, in 2011. Approximately 4 months ago I spotted a yellow mark in the bottom left corner of the screen. The yellow mark gets brighter when the iPhone works at full capacity (for example, when I use 3G Internet via Wi-Fi access point). It looks this way:
    Is it possible to solve this problem anyhow?
    Best regards,
    Alexander

    It is just a screeen spot or internal screen spot.If it's normal screen spot then clean it with water. and if it is internal screen spot then there is no way to repair wwithout going to repair.

  • 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.

  • Dim Spot on iPhone's screen

    Hello everyone,
    I have an iPhone 3G 8GB which I bought 6 months ago from Cyprus. After 3 months of using it, a dark dim spot appeared in the middle of my screen. No, it's not a dead pixel, I did a deep research for it. Anyway, I sent it back to them in Cyprus so they can fix it, they kept it 2 weeks and then they gave it to me back without even opening it and see the problem. After many hours there I pushed them to send it to Apple. They sent it to Greece as they told me where there is an Apple Store. After they sent it back again, they gave me a paper which they wrote on it "The dim spot as our customer said, doesn't make any problem to the phone of using it etc." By the way, you can see the dim spot very clear on gray color and dark colors but not on black. At the end.. I'm here now without any support from Apple.
    Please help me solve my problem.
    Regards,
    Jim.

    What's really weird is that when I first got home with my new iPhone on 6/29, I too noticed a yellow spot on the bottom left of my screen...obviously more noticeable on a white background. I was ready to take it back...but then after using the phone for the first day...the yellow spot went away. All of a sudden the yesterday 7/29...4 weeks later, a yellow spot appeared in the same exact spot...and by the end of the day it was gone again! (insert Twilight Zone theme here) Hmmmm...wonder if this will occur again on 8/29...haha!
    Wait and see if yours disappears...and if it doesn't, I'd exchange it.

    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.

  • 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.

    Go to the Apple store. They all have replacements. They don't use the retail boxes. They will fix it. Go now.
