which one has a more accurate display?

left looks white to me, right looks yellow.

IMO the rendering of websites look accurate on the left.

which would u keep?
I'm seeing a lot of pink tint in the one on the left on the upper left side of the screen just like my 4.7 inch iPhone 7. I see a little on the one on the right too. I wouldn't want either but I wouldn't want to risk getting one with something worse!
 
I think I lucked out. Just received my 7+ from Verizon yesterday. The display looks the same as my 6+ in terms of color temp, I have no "coil whine", no glue and no clicking. Maybe they were making corrections in the manufacturing, and that's why it took awhile to get the batches to Verizon. Just guessing.
 
Compared my 6+ to coworker's 7+ and we both agreed that my 6+ looked better. The contrast was better, brightness was higher, and the temperature seemed more neutral compared to the extremely warm/yellow 7+ display. The pictures looked really washed out. Maybe it was defective...

My 6s since updating has had a warm tone, like the one on the right. Hope this goes away, it's worse of course when I have the brightness lower to save battery life.

So I infer it isn't hardware, it's something they've done with the update.

not sure, but the more I look at the 6/6s overly white/blue screen it seems inaccurate color-wise and brightness-wise.

The warmer iPhone 7 seems more natural, easier to read and don't notice it as much...seems much richer.
 
Just got my replacement phone today, no hissing and no creaking however not sure about the screen

It looks good for me! Do you see any tints in person?
I've sent my iP7 Plus back because of a slightly pinkish tint on the left side. It was also brighter on teh left...towards the upper left corner. Waiting for replacement now and hoping it will be fine.

On the left hand side at the bottom and middle it looks a little warmer but I have to star at it to notice but then again I don't know at this point if it's my eyes playing tricks on me, tempted to get another replacement but not sure if it's worth it.
 
The iPhone 7 does have a better color gamut display and much brighter display than the 6s. Naturally, the iPhone 7 is easily improved over the 6s.
Man I wish I could lucky with a screen like that, I just bit my replacement today but just not to sure about it.

Not sure if the display looks ok, and if it looks yellow, I've been looking at it for so long that I don't even know anymore lol, I have no hissing and no creaking which is good thing

Why did you receive a replacement? What are you not sure about?
Forget to mention that I got a replacement because the other phone I had was hissing/buzzing
 
looks fine, but thats not being compared to another phone. thats the trouble, comparing my new iP7 to the two old iP6 (not 6S) the ip7 has a yellower screen. but not comparing it, it looks brilliant and great. only when comparing it does it stand out more due to that yellow hue
 
Your so right about that the problem is when I say I won't compare I end doing it anyway lol

Is the hissing gone from the new device you received?
 
where does the hissing come from and is it loud or is it a faint audible noise? haven't even checked or noticed (yet)
 
Left. Right looks uneven to me.
I like the one on the left

its coming from the back where the Apple logo is and you can hear when you open apps, play games or take video, it can be loud or faint but which ever it is it's not suppose to be there and Apple is aware of this issue, I got my phone replaced because of it and now the one I have is silent with hissing/buzzing sound.

how does my screen look?
 
Yes it is completely

I can't tell how your screen looks from
Your picture. As far as the hissing is concerned, it appears even the replacement Devices are making the hissing sound. The processor is near the microphone when recording, which amplifies the sound. It sounds as if it might be inevitable, which is unfortunate.

Yes that is very unfortunate but to be honest I prefer a good screen in exchange for a little hissing

That looks good except the bottom is yellow or brighter. My phone has same thing and alot of them ive seen. 7 display has warmer display temperature than 6 like 5000k. It can looke yellow but its actually better. Problem is the bottom is yellower

I know and the yellow at the bottom is bothering to no end, are you planning on getting a replacement? I don't know if it would be worth it for me to get a replacement.
