6s yellow tint

That's the screen tint defect that would cause me to return. For some reason when a screen has a gradient tint issue it aggravates a migraine problem I have.
If the screen is a consistent tint all the way across and there are no areas of shadowing then I am accepting of whatever tint it happens to be. I wouldn't notice unless comparing to other displays anyway.
I'm waiting for bendgate and the 2Gb of Ram and Safari still reloads threads. 
My screen is bright white (cool) which is perfect. There is no dimming towards the top. It's uniform throughout.
Saw a link about the chipworks teardown and noticed the pic they posted of the 6S. It actually looks terrible.

This again? I'm going to stop using Apple's network time server and start setting my clock by "my screen is yellow" threads.
If you don't like the thread, don't respond to it.
Thankfully my past 5S, 6 and 6S Plus have had no screen issues, my phones prior to that have had some severe bouts with piss yellow screens and it's a real thing. Were not just talking warmer, were talking clarity is off, the screen looks absolutely horrible. When you look at white, it's not white, its yellow.
You have a Plus. My previous Plus, my wife's Plus, and my wife's new 6S Plus are all perfectly uniform. The Pluses definitely benefit from more even backlighting. I think the 6 lacks in this department.
The lighting/flash used and the brightness of the display can both affect how it appears in the photo. I'm sure it's not that bad in reality.
Hey, I am extremely picky with my tech, but as long as the yellowing is uniform throughout, it doesn't really matter. The screen is just warmer and you will get used to it. Now, if it's spots here and there, I would take it back.
The photo may not represent the actual screen tint for this phone. It looks like it is still in set up and my screens have always looked darker until set up is complete.
