i notice when the time goes by iPhone 7/7+ has accurate color than the blueish screen of iphone 6s . My Friend just got his 7 the other day and be hold same yellowish screen
You should have at least an even yellowish display. If the bottom part is more yellowish than the other parts, Its not normal. Apple won't even release a statement that yellowish display is normal for them or not. They don't care coz most buyers don't care as long as it's Apple.
My 7 plus jet black is a bit warmer compared to my friend's 7 plus matte black. He got his unit last No. 12 and I got mine Dec. 19. It bothers me now and thinking if I should be requesting for a replacement from Globe. Any info if this is normal for jet black units? Thanks
No. I compared my unit to the demo units at powermac greenbelt and displays are not consistent. There's even a demo unit that has a warmer display than mine. Then I compared it as well to another friend's unit and both display are the same. And I'm quite convinced to the the 2 powermac staff that I talked to saying that display really varies depending on who manufactured it. According to them, Apple has 2 LCD screen suppliers - Samsung and Sharp. Just not sure if they got it correct but I am convinced though.
I see. I had also consulted this to a Power Mac Service Center staff and I was advised the same though he didn't mention the names of manufacturing companies for the LCD. It's just weird when I go to a Globe store and when we compare my device to their demo units, we don't find it that yellowish but rather it has a brighter display. I think it's because of the effect of warm lighting from their light bulbs. I find the yellowish hue is somehow noticeable when you are in a room under a white flourescent light or in a dark room. I have also tried to apply the color filters in settings that helps the display look bluish white but I find it inconvenient for my eyesight when I view the phone over a long period of time. I am convincing myself to believe that the slight yellowish display we can see on the IP7 is brought by the wide color gamut which is the same technology being used for digital cinemas that produces more accurate colors and as they describe it as "visually indistinguishable from perfect". I am getting rid of using my old iPhone so then in the long run I can get used to the display of IP7.
Yeah, let's embrace the slight imperfection and just enjoy our iPhone 7. As long as there's no functionality issue.
guys, i also got that yellowish unit ,but after reading the the link provided by one of our fellow member, i now know how to adjust them. the units found on display (at stores) may have a different setting, if all things equal and still with that yellow screen,maybe that's the only time you try to get a replacement unit from wherever you bought them.
This is also my attitude towards my phone. It's not exactly flawless, but other than the warm display there's no other glaring issue so in a way it's still something to be thankful for. Over time my eyes have already gotten used to it and I'm much happier not having to deal with the headache that is replacements.
It's really noticeable comparing my 6 to 7plus, but I don't really consider this a defect, it doesn't really bother me. Also compared my 7plus with 2 other 7pluses bought from the US and HK and they all have the same tint, really. I adjusted my color tint settings and honestly I think you guys should just try it rather than going through the replacement process hell. I just don't think it's worth the agony of waiting and anxiety heck I don't think there really are phones with "normal" tint. Unless it's a very glaring yellowish tint then it must be replaced. But of course, to each his own.
I'd guess the white box indicates a refurbished phone. Warranty replacements typically come in a white box with no accessories.
