Anyone has an iPhone 5 that did NOT have yellow tint issue

A pic won't help; cameras will generally adjust color balance so you won't be able to tell how yellow or blue your screen is.
That said, the iPhone 5 has a slightly lower color temperature than the 4. I noticed this and found it pleasing. I wouldn't worry about it; you'll get used to it soon enough.

I noticed a slight one, compared to my 4S, then went to the Apple store and compared it to 3 display models....I discovered that mine is much brighter and whiter than theirs. One employee actually thought the display phones had a lower brightness setting, until I showed him that I had set them and mine as high as it would go. So, I have the better screen!!!
No issues here, either. My 4S has a bluer screen, but the screen on my iPhone 5 is pure white - no blue or yellow that I can detect.
An ever so slightly warmer tone is not yellow. Not bluish is not yellow. Yellow is yellow. Lemon Jello is yellow. Tweety is yellow. This smiley is yellow.

Pus is yellow.
Do you mean the florescent look in the yellows and greens ?

Yeah my screen is slightly warmer than my ip4. But nothing wrong with my screen. It's not anywhere close to a yellow tint.
Someone posted a fix for this. I don't know if it's purely psychological but it definitely worked for me:
Put your brightness to 50% and toggle on auto brightness while in a normally lit room. Then go to a light or lamp and face the front of the screen directly to the light source and wait for the brightness level to automatically move up to 100%. Then return to the normally lit room and wait for it to go back down to 50%. Check results.

No yellow tint here. It's actually a better white balance than my old 4. It was too blue. My 5 is pretty much perfect. Not blue, not yellow. White is actually white.
I'll bet that pissed you off...

That's was I noted in my post above. Pure white. I like it.
