6s yellow tint

Are you exchanging by going to the Genius Bar, or are you able to return a device and buy a new one at the store? I would think that an exchange for one of the "white box" phones that are made for warranty issues is the only option because of low supply of iphones. Just curious.
OLED causes more eye strain. lots of people with samsung phones complaining about eye strain
6S screen looks good. I can see the shadowing at the top of your 6. Such a common problem! My first 6S had that same shadow and I exchanged it. New one is very uniform but suffers from the blue tinge along both left and right edges. I'm totally unimpressed with the screen quality of the 6 and 6S compared to the 6 Plus and 6S Plus. Making me wish I stayed with my 6 Plus.
My first 6S was that same way. Great color tint and calibration (I'm a graphic designer, so I can spot this easily) but strong shadowing at the top and overall lower brightness. Current 6S will melt your retinas at full brightness.
Ugh, not wanting to do the exchange game all over again though
. Quality control is awful on these new displays.Ugh, not wanting to do the exchange game all over again though
It's disappointing for sure, but it's nothing new.
Managed to alleviate a lot of my issues with this guide:

Seemed to bug out and have 'reduce white point' set to on without me being able to alter it, playing with the setting only reduced the brightness further.
BS from apologists. Only eye strain I had was from tiny 3.5" and not from SAMOLED.
Yes at the Genius Bar and they are new seal retail units, they were going to replace it with the refurbished unit but I said just give me a refund and I will buy another one in that case and they agreed to the exchange for a new unit. That was the first time and the other two times they just got me a new one.
Yeah the 6s I have now has a perfect screen or at least to my eyes. My 6 does have a slight dark area on the top of the screen but in fairness I don't see it unless I do a test like did for the photo. The 6s I returned for the same reason was way way worse and when I showed it to the guy at the Apple Store saw it he just said wow, that needs changing.
One thing I will say is that the guys at the store have been great, pity I can't say the same about the phones.
I've noticed a bit of an improvement throughout the day as I've been using it, that initial bug at the start was the main cause of the screen issues. The white balance is 10x better than before thankfully.
My 6S seems very very slightly more yellow on the left side. The 6S plus has it more towards the top. Even my Retina 5K imac has its faintly towards the bottom of the screen. Pretty much all LCDs I get from Apple are not perfectly even in this regards. If the device is perfect otherwise I pretty much keep it. Im tired of exchanging, restoring, and chancing getting something worse or some other issue. I know we pay good money for these products and 99% of people wont notice. Sometimes reading the forums and OCD can really take the joy out of a device. I find myself sitting on my new iphone reading the forums about issues with the phone. WTF? My friends don't do this.
Which has the better display?
I prefer the color of the display on the left
#dontsettleforpiss
The left is obviously much better! It is such a shame year in and year out its the same BS with all of Apples screens. I have only seen screens like this on a $200 and under device! The one to the right is not good at all!Which has the better display?
Hmmm I wonder what the actual best display actually is. I'm no expert but from reading tv reviews in the past usually the warm setting had more yellow whites and was always considered to be the most accurate as a starting calibration point. Whereas the cool setting was usually considered to be the most inaccurate YET most pleasing to the eye of the average consumer.
This is why TVs in stores on display are set to have very bright bright images with very cool color temperatures, what some refer to as torch mode.
To be honest I think my 6S plus display is great. But putting next to my iPad Air 2 just now I can see the whites are more on the warm side than my iPad. Doesn't bother me, I didn't even notice until I compared.
Haven't looked through this whole thread. Has anyone measured which one displays colors more accurately I believe to the 6500 level??

I'd say left but I would hate to live with that top left corner (seems like a backlight bleed).Which has the better display?
I agree with you! The phone also goes from warm to cooler , from left to right! It's the same story on almost all Apple devices, they do not correct these problems because 99% of consumers do not see it!

In my opinion, somewhere between these two would be perfect. But this is so hard to tell from a photo because the camera could be exposing for the screen on the left, throwing the white balance of the one on the right way off, or vice versa. If I had to choose, I'd choose left though.
