A screenshot won't show a yellow tint.

You'll have to take a photo of the screen. A screenshot won't show a yellow tint as it's a display issue, not a software one.

Sorry guys... Here are some pic taken with my GF's IP4 of my IP5 screen - hope you can tell me if my IP5 has an defect screen...

I don't know about yellow, but your screen seems darker at the bottom 1/4. Could just be the photo, though.

I see it. Mine has it's own issues, but that ain't one of them.

Common problem. It's usually at the top 1/4 though, not the bottom.

For such an indistinguishable "fault"? Forget it and use your phone!

It's real simple. Does it bother you?

If yes, return it. Else, keep it.

Dilemma solved.

I think the majority of iPhone screens have a warm/cool (yellow/blue) tint, so you might get one that's worse. A lot of people don't mind the blue tint but do mind the yellow.

Personally I'm not fussy, but you can take it back no questions asked so if it bothers you, go get it swapped.
