Finally, something sensible. I am starting to believe of mass trolling especially from Gizmodo and Co. Antenna mess is so ridiculous, it makes me laugh - you do not even need a degree to know how a human body can become a drainer of a signal, so I am sure Apple engineers were aware of this. But remember those 3 slots everyone were confused about - they actually prevent antennas to become full circuit. It is just funny to see people ready to squeeze the hell out of iPhone to demonstrate how few bars drop. One video was just super:"...as we can see the bars are dropping, I hope". The OP HOPES the bars will drop. I think this is nuts. I have seen a guy in Apple store today, he was holding new iPhone, had 3G while I had Edge on my 3GS, he had no yellow spots and full signal! However, all these posts should make one aware of the possibility - I will check my out when picking it up tomorrow.

Russian President Comes to Rescue
Yesterday in California, Jobs met Medvedev, the Russian president. When asked about the launch of the highly anticipated Apple's new iPhone, he couldn't help but complain about the numerous incoming reports on the discolored Retina displays.
Medvedev suggested that taking a shot of vodka before using an iPhone would eliminate all the discolorations...

While my display shows no sign of discolouration it is showing a slightly speckled pattern in the upper left corner about 1/3 of the way down. It looks like the screen is bleeding faint white spots. Anyone else encountered this? It was all going to well! Its nothing major but a slight disappointment on Apples art.
It's true that the battery does take up a lot of room, but the right bottom corner is the screen is the spot of the radio chip... And looking at the macrumors photographs the discoloration occurs in the bottom right side of the screen...
Successfull iPhone 4 change
Hey all
I'm a regular viewer of these forums and just thought I would let you guys know that I had the screen discolouration issue with my brand new iPhone 4 (purchased from o2 this morning). I'm now in Apple Southampton and they are agreeing to change the phone for me! All the apple guys here were very surprised that the phone would be experiencing these issues.
Anyway, just thought I would share that incase it helps anyone in the same situation.

I can see why people with it working don't feel like posting a video cause I really don't. Either take my word for it or just ignore me I don't care. But no issues here.
I totally love this phone but I hadn't even gotten in my car this morning after leaving the apple store and I saw the screen discoloration but in the lower left hand corner for me
any truth to these comments? would be nice if this were true so people won't overreact and flood apple with replacements! especially me!!
Yeah seriously that would be gorgeous cause I'm not experiencing any signal drop issues from holding it a certain way so I'm good to go if this spot goes away lol
Yes, it would be interesting to find anyone who had their phone delivered on the 22nd with a yellowing issue. I wonder if it has cleared up at all for them.

A poster on the same page said:
"Looks like this issue is becoming pretty prevalent on Apple Support:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread....art=0&tstart=0"
To which another one responded:
"Mmmm... overstating a bit?
I just checked the link, 9 hours after your post:
-- there were 58 total posts
-- near as I could tell there were 15 phones with a display blotch problem
-- some reported that the problem went away"
Can someone who had that yellowing issue talk about this?
West 14th Street NYC - Took 3 tries to get it right...
4 hours of waiting with a reservation - no big deal
1st iphone - vertical yellow band right where the slide to unlock pathway exists. Very hard to see in store.
Went back to 14th street, they got me a new phone - small yellow dot in the bottom right corner
stuck around this time for a third phone...
It was perfect!
I hope everyone who has the problem finds that it goes away over time but there's no way im chancing it.
very pleased with the lucky # 3.

This is why I will wait.
Wow, well this is why I rather wait. The phone is so new nobody really knows what to expect. Once again Wow!! & of course no replacements until God knows when, due to shortage in units... I will be getting mine sometime in August or maybe even September..

Sad Times
I have received my two iPhone 4's here in the UK bought direct from Apple and i can confirm both of these are effected by the yellow blobs on the screen! One of them has it in the bottom right corner the other has it in the bottom right corner and across the top of the screen
The yellow is noticeable on the home screen but it is more prevalent when you are using an app with a white background i.e text message etc!
Both the phones also suffer with the signal dropping when the metal band is touched and even looses connection!
I have spoken to Apple and they have advised me to return them for a full refund and wait for the situation to be resolved before purchasing again!
Only problem now is that i have a micro sim of which i can't put back into my 3GS so Apple have said use the iPhone 4 until i get a replacement sim to fit my 3GS

I checked mine in store just to make sure. It was fine. After I synced it and got all my stuff put on it I noticed a yellow dot on the lower right screen. I also noticed the phone was very warm. As time has passed the yellow has diminished to the point that I don't know if I'm seeing it or not anymore.
More people at http://forums.appleinsider.com/showthread.php?t=110802&page=5 are claiming that their yellow thingies are going away!
Temporarily.
They come back after usage, at least here.
It's a heat related issue, it appears.

Got my iPhone replaced this morning at the Apple Store. No problems at all with the new one! In and out in under 45 minutes. What is so funny is they could not get Facetime to work on their network and were using customers MiFi connections to get it to function. Facetime doesn't impress me that much, working or not! Apple store employees were awesome!
