Yellow spots on screen?

IUBall22 · Jan 13, 2013, 10:15 PM

So it looks like there are yellow splotches on my iPhone 5 screen. Notice on the top and bottom left. Should I take it to the genious bar or deal with it?

For goodness sake, live with it! There's nothing wrong!

That looks pretty bad. Looks like you got yours from the yellow stock batch. I would take it back but make sure you double check the replacement.

Any other feedback? Not sure if apple would do anything.

I had pretty bad yellow spots on my first one. I exchanged it and my new one is perfect. If you're still within your return period, do that vs exchanging at the Genius Bar.. You'll get a new phone vs a refurb / white box replacement. Either way, the spots are not normal and you shouldn't get any hassle swapping it.

How do you exchange it other than the genious bar? Can I go to Verizon if I bought it at an apple store?

If you bought it at an Apple Store you have to go through the Genius Bar for a replacement.

Just to update, went to the apple store this morning and easily got a replacement.
