Do all Apple employees deny yellow screen

[dmccloud]

Um... those are all articles for iPhones. What does that have to do with iPads?

People have been claiming the issue has never been due to glue. If you look at the iFixit article on the new iPad, they specifically mention that the same adhesive is used on the new iPad as the iPad 2. And a simple Google search would have pulled up more links than just those, so I'm not sure how people can claim the issue has never existed.

You simply have no idea what you're talking about.

The iPhone's front glass was bonded to the LCD with glue...bonded, as in sandwiched together with glue, across the entire surface. When you smash your iPhone glass, they replace the glass and LCD together as one piece.

This is not cost effective with the larger iPad screen.

The iPad's glass is NOT bonded to the LCD. I repeat NOT bonded. Black foam sticky tape is used around the edges of the glass to adhere it to the frame of the iPad. You are not looking through the front glass and a layer of glue to the LCD...you are looking through glass, with a thin layer of air between them. No glue on the viewing area of the glass = no yellowing caused by glue.

If you don't believe it, go to ifixit.com and watch the disassembly video. They pry the tape seam open, then lift the glass off, while the LCD remains in place. That would be impossible if glue bonded the glass to the LCD.

 

[Hello...]

There's no glue used on the LCD in the new iPad or any iPad ever. Only in the iPhone 4/4s. Why do people keep saying there is?

Because they don't know any better .
