Well, i live in the alps and never wear them during winter. When i go skiing then yeah, too white. But during everyday life in the city it isn't THAT white everywhere. But i guess if you live like, in Minnesota or North Dakota it might come handy.
Seriously, this place is out of control!

Return it and get a note 4 then. Then we won't have these pointless threads on macrumors anymore!
This is what polarized sunglasses do lol. That's a test I tell people to do to tell if they've really got polarized sunglasses or not. Put them up to the phone like the phone is wearing them and you will see even the sunglasses have that same look. Chances are it's probably the sunglasses creating that look. Each pair can provide a different look. It's not the phone.
Why so many willingly condemn their immortal souls to Hell to burn for all Eternity?
We can't just ignore this problem of epic proportions!
I'll meet you at the Hot Lava Lounge.
Polarized sunglasses are especially helpful in winter.

have you seen the helmets and clothes?
Oakley and Maui Jim
I tried with Oakley Radar Path, Oakley Fast Jacket, and three different pairs of Maui Jims, Big Beach, Kapalua and Ka'anapali. I have a Zagg HDx installed. Phone is an iPhone 6+.
Both brands with a front view straight ahead like you would hold a book seemed fine. As the phone was tilted front to back there was definitely black and rainbow lines crossing the screen. This happened sooner with Oakleys than it did with Maui Jims. The 5 pair of sunglasses I checked all caused distortion when tilting the phone front to back and all were at least pretty darn clear when the phone was held in front of me at an "average distance". Cant help that the combination of screen protector and glasses may affect this in some way, just don't know if it is for the better or worse. In NO WAY DOES THIS MAKE MY iPHONE 6+ JUNK.

This. Plus the thick glass windshields with heating elements tend to create a brownish waffle grid pattern. Makes even seeing out of the flight deck difficult at times, not to mention at different angles the instrument LCD screens can go black. Tilt your head 90 degrees and you can usually see it again. So no Maui Jims. Bummer too, love the lens.
That's probably a little different as the "artifacts" are caused by the heat treating and stresses within the safety glass that make it explode into a million small pieces when broken instead of razor sharp shards. This can change the polarization of the light in different parts of the glass making the pattern.
My non 6 phones darken with polarized glasses but are uniform. I'm curious why some people are seeing this and some not. Especially those with the same brand of glasses. (Not all polarizers are the same. Some are molded into the lens and some are a coating or essentially printed on the lens.)
Hey everyone. Thanks for checking your Apple devices. Turns out the screen protector was causing it. I pulled it up and checked again and it is same as iPhone 5. Its weird, my iPhone 5 has a screen protector and looks just fine. I have SPIGEN Flex HD screen protector, so you might want to avoid this one if you are using polarized glasses. Not sure how other screen protectors fair. Maybe some of you with screen protectors and polarized glasses can post results with screen protector brand/model so others won't run into this.
Thanks all!
Thanks all!
Apple’s improved polarizer makes a noticeable difference in using the phone outside, in the sun, and if you’re the type to wear polarized sunglasses on a regular basis, that’s something worth considering when choosing your next phone.

I use heavely polarized sun gallsses due to off shore fishing and it simply blacks my screen out in the horizonal position. It does not show what you are showing in these images.
COme back and let us lknow what the Apple store says.

I've always found Polarized sunglasses affect the viewing on most screens although not tested on my 6 as yet.
Actually find the display on certain screens in my car disappear depending on viewing angle, plus anyone used those RSA secure tags for VPN? Those screens vanish completely with polarized glasses.
Intriguing to see the 6 screen looking so weird though but I personally wouldn't panic as polarized glasses makes loads of screens look odd.

To the above guys.
The OP has found out what it was causing it. It was what it was suspected to be: the screen protector.

In other words, your sensationalist knee-jerk reaction of a thread and discussion were actually an oversight and mistake? What are the odds? I don't think that's ever happened on MR before...ever....
P.S. You might want to update your OP or mark it as "Resolved."
zero problems with my iPhone 6 and my polarized Oakley TwoFace and polarized Flak Jacket XLJ.
they did improve the polarizer on the iPhone 6 display. you could have gotten a bad iPhone.
