According to the guys over at Cnet, a number of owners of Apple’s new iPhone 4S are reporting problems with the display on the iPhone 4S, and some are saying that the display looks more yellow than on the original iPhone 4.
A number of iPhone 4S owners have posted messages on Apple’s support forums, and some replies have said that it could be down to the glue used in the phone and it may improve with time, whilst other users have also said that the display seems ‘more washed out.
Possible Causes of the Yellow Tint
The yellow tint issue has sparked a lot of discussions among iPhone 4S users. One prevalent theory is that the yellowish hue could be due to the adhesive used in the manufacturing process. This adhesive, which is used to bond the layers of the display, might not have fully dried by the time the phones were shipped. Over time, as the adhesive cures completely, the yellow tint might diminish or disappear altogether. This was a similar issue observed with the iPhone 4 when it was first released.
Another possible cause could be the calibration of the display itself. Apple might have adjusted the color temperature of the iPhone 4S display to be warmer compared to the iPhone 4. This change could be intentional to make the display appear more natural or to reduce eye strain. However, this warmer color temperature might be perceived as a yellow tint by some users.
User Experiences and Feedback
Many users have taken to online forums and social media to share their experiences with the iPhone 4S display. Some users have reported that the yellow tint is noticeable only when compared side-by-side with an iPhone 4, while others have found it to be a persistent issue that affects their overall experience with the device.
For instance, one user on Apple’s support forums mentioned that the yellow tint was particularly noticeable when viewing white backgrounds or using apps with predominantly light interfaces. Another user noted that the display seemed ‘more washed out,’ with colors appearing less vibrant than on the iPhone 4.
Despite these reports, there are also many users who have not experienced any issues with their iPhone 4S display. Personally, I haven’t noticed any problems with my iPhone 4S display.

Apple’s Response and Future Updates
As of now, Apple has not officially acknowledged the yellow tint issue as a widespread problem. However, the company is known for taking user feedback seriously and may address the issue in future software updates or manufacturing adjustments. In the past, Apple has released software updates to fix various display-related issues, so it wouldn’t be surprising if a similar solution is provided for the iPhone 4S.
In the meantime, users experiencing the yellow tint issue can try adjusting the display settings on their iPhone 4S. By navigating to Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations, users can experiment with different color filters and brightness levels to see if it improves their display experience.
