I just got it in the mail. I think it has the yellow tint screen problem. I compared it to the itouch on full brightness and the touch seems better. Should I return it or keep it?
 
I returned mine with the yellow tint issue. Did not want to bother going through replacements.

Gonna re buy once I figure out if I want white or black! :confused::confused:
 
If you think it's yellow, I would either return it or exchange it. When I got my iPhone in the mail, the first think I noticed was the screen didn't look right, it had a yellow tint. I exchanged it and the replacement had a much better screen. Also the more you think about the yellow screen, the worse it gets.
 
If you plan on complaining down the road about it, return it.

If not, keep it and appreciate what you have.
 
I returned mine yesterday, and although better than the first it still has a warm look to it compared to my iPhone 4.

Apparently none of the 4S' are calibrated with the cool blue tint. At least the genius said he hadn't seen any as cool as my iPhone 4.

I'm sticking with it, at least it doesn't look dirty and washed out now.

So the question is HOW yellow is it? Cause you may get worse.

What a lie!!!
Mine is cooler that the 4!
You should take with a grain of salt anything what geniuses say.

Mine has a much cooler colour temperature than my 4 did, although it never bothered me with the 4. After comparing the two, however, the 4S does look quite a bit nicer. I'd probably try to get a replacement.
 
Why is it lie?
He just said, he hasn't seen one yet...
Chill, man.
All display models in NYC and San Fran are on the cooler side!
Geniuses always ******** to calm down people like you in order to stop us exchanging phones with some minor issues.
