I am trying to get pictures of the defect. Mine is in the upper left corner and is very visible unless the screen is all black. I really hoped Apple would have checked into this before they let these get though. Hopefully it's just rare issue.
I need to know how quickly this was noticeable for the people that are affected. I'm going to get my reserved phone tomorrow at the apple store. Is this something i'll be able to spot right as they turn on the phone, or am I going to notice is right as i'm being pushed out the door?
I'm going to assume that even if I had a yellow splotch, there isn't going to be anything they can do about it, as most of the stores aren't going to have extra phones.

I notice that compared to my 3GS the screen seems a lot "warmer" color wise. But I think it's probably more color correct than my 3GS. I don't have the spots you guys have.
To those that have the yellow spots, make a genius bar appointment at your closest apple store and they will swap it out for you. It might take a few days here at first with all the chaos at the apple stores.

You should notice it almost instantly. Try to find a white image and make the entire screen white. The flashlight app works very well. Don't leave the store until you have a perfect screen.
To the guy who can't believe how fanatical we are about phones...seriously? You are on macrumors.com! I spent almost $600 on a phone, it better be perfect!
I have 3 yellow spots.
I have 3 yellow spots - in every corner but the upper right. Faint but noticeable especially when in settings menus or looking at pictures with gray or white backgrounds.
Already made an appt with the Apple Store to get a new one on Fri.

Did they say they would for sure have a replacement for you? I wonder what the chances are of replacing it with a white Iphone 4?
Curious for those of you with Yellow spots ... did you order through Apple.com and get your phone shipped directly from China?
Might be a certain batch that's bad. Wonder if the phones that AT&T had sitting in their warehouses is similarly affected.

No yellow splotches, dots or lines.
I used the Flashlight app, turned the brighness all the way up, and then compared to my 3G screen.

It is true that we haven't confirmed these issues with devices already at retailers. Guess we'll see tomorrow.
I think I have a yellow line on the bottom of mine. It's really hard to see though because it's on the bottom of the screen. Everything else seems perfect though so I'm torn. No dead pixels or other defects but I'm going to the Apple store tomorrow to get one with my friend. I'll see what they say.
i dont think i have any, but its hard to tell. but honestly im looking really hard and see nothing yellow.
