iPhone 4 Discolouration

allosunshine · 22 Apr 2012 at 13:14

Noticed the other day when I sorting the Mrs's Facebook setting to match mine the difference in colour on the screen. Mine had a screen protector on so thought it may have been that initially but I've taken it off and put it side by side and theres definitely a difference. Mine is a black iPhone 4 (LEFT) which was replaced under AppleCare fairly recently and her's is a white one (RIGHT new from Vodafone back in September.
Its does look a bit more yellowy in the flesh.

Just debating whether its an issue I need to take up with Apple.
What do you guys think?

Actually I do see it, there is variation in screens as they source them from different suppliers. I thought yellow discoloration was due to the gluing process and should only last a short while.

There is a slight variation in the colour there, yes. A was said above, this is usually a side-effect of multiple suppliers of screens, and can't be completely avoided unfortunately.

Do you think Apple will do anything about it?

Doubt it. Two iPhones and two iPads here and the screen colour warmths are slightly different on each. As mentioned, if the screens are from different suppliers they'll look warmer or cooler.

Its one of those, you don't notice until you just happen to put it side by side to another one and now I can't stop noticing it now I know about it.
