this is the first post that I'm writing on MacRumors because i think i have to share this with u guys.
Got my iphone 5 3 weeks ago, the first thing i have noticed is the yellower and darker area at the top of the screen, it didn't go away as time passes so its definitely not a glue issue.
Went to the store and changed another one, and this time there was a darker line on the right side edge of the screen, its very obvious and the genius noticed this at the first glance when i showed the problem to him.
the third one, yellow at the top
the fourth one which was also a new unopened one, darker line on the right side edge.
have given up now and applied refund, will wait a month or two to see if the situation improves and i think its because of the problem with certain batches of stock which generally will have quality issues.
For now, the iphone 5 screen is just a joke, u guys might want to check the darker line issue too as 2 out of 4, if its not because I have extremely bad lucks, it should be a very common issue.
The darker line will be most obvious on grey background, u might want to just open AirPort and see if you have it
As to the unevenly tinted screen which has nothing to do with drying glue, i can pretty much say it happens to majority of iphone 5s now, its just a matter of the degree and your tolerance about it
Also did some extra researches, and it seems that the unevenly tinted screen (probably a problem with the backlight) is not a new topic but rather have existed for a long time. After the research i am pretty sure now that majority of iphones have this problem, again, its probably not major but definitely a degree of defect...
