I'm not even going to bother with your sillyness anymore. You obviously have an agenda. Take a picture? You do know that cameras, unless they are extremely expensive, are not very accurate with color. Then you put that inaccurate picture on an inaccurate monitor, and of course it's not going to look correct. If you are so angry at Apple, return your phone. Move on to some other operating system. You are letting something as little as a phone screen raise your blood pressure. It's time to get real.
Got a tip for us?

it can show a difference. Whatever the white point of the camera, the tone of the 7 should match the tone of your professional monitor. lets call this "differential color accuracy readings". Why not take a pic and back up your claims? Don't worry, I and many other reading this already know why: It won't match at all. And everyone's claims of the 7 being super duper accurate will vanish into dust.
Ill stick with my 6S for now, and when next years phone comes with an OLED screen that displays colors correctly (i.e. like the 6S), I'll buy it.
It is okay to like the whites on the 6S. But if you can honestly say there is no blue push on 6S displays, well... I don't even know what to say. It seems like over time you grew accustomed to most screens having a blue push; to the extent that any other possible option is incorrect and inaccurate according to your eyes and reality.
How do you know it has a blue push? Most people think that because the settings screen is bluish/gray that proves it. Im saying to you that the settings screen is supposed to be blueish/gray.
Put it on a calibrated monitor and see for yourself. Actually, when i did this even my 6S looked a little yellow. The settings screen is really really bluish, and thats intentional.
Or do you have another screen you are thinking of that proves the "blue push"?
Many times people goes against your false information on this same topic on different threads. Did you once stop for a minute and realize something is off about that? There's clearly an issue here and it might be time to look in the mirror. Lol.
Do us a favor and yourself and move on to another phone because I doubt Apple will go back to your blue screened iPhones.
after nine years you feel comfortable.

maybe you need to look in the mirror.
OP has an extremley valid point a lot of money spent on "the best" one expects 'the Best'.
whats your problem are you happy with excepting sub standard products or work done on your home.
Good luck in life.

It's called OCD. Looking for a 'perfect' iPhone and doing multiple exchanges for non-issues makes no sense!
To you its a non issue cause you dont care about color accuracy. Some do. And I gave up on the 7 a month ago. Display just sucks too much for my standards. Some people don't care as much and thats fine. Thats why Apple makes so much money, they are counting on complacent, passive customers.
Rubbish yes there is OCD to factor in, I'm certain apple allows for that from what I have read from OPs post he/she is NOT OCD (and even if he/she was so what?)
He can return his iPhone within 14 days (I understand the clock starts from the return not from original purchase but I may be wrong on that).
Why do you object are you at the back of a queue for a 7.
Oh I do care about color accuracy. It's the first thing I do when I get a new TV or monitor and get rid of that inaccurate factory settings you so-called accurate. Apple finally got it right on the 7. I'm glad you gave up. Love my 7 screen. Too bad you're just too misinformed and can't enjoy an otherwise best iPhone ever produced.
I'd just like to add there is a very fine line between OCD and "Perfection"
As apple like to be considered to have a "Perfection" reputation again dont see any problem here I bet you anything Steve was OCD/Perfectionist.

You have no idea what I consider to be color accurate. Yellow is not accurate. Accurate is accurate.
The settings screen example i gave still stands. The output of the 7 should match the source material. Can you argue with that? If an Apple UI designer uses the Fill tool and fills in the settings UI elements with a blue/gray color, should the phone display that as blue/gray or yellow?
I think you'd have to be an idiot to say the phone should not display the colors intended by the designer, or the exact colors output by the GPU. If you have a calibrated monitor test it for yourself. The 7 will not match, I can tell you that. That makes the 7's colors inaccurate.
Can you defend your position against what i just said?
lol not trying to jump in, but youre in a virtual world arguing with someone, theres no "winners" in that scenario, we're all nerds arguing on the net, no "winning" in that lol.....you need to chill! have fun the rest of the day, all worked over some screens.
To me its more principle of being taken advantage of by a big company. i don't want people to accept that I want people to rise against mediocrity. So yeah, its more than screens for me, but your advice is still good.
the last place you're going to get the world to unite against mediocrity is here bro, you're ice skating up a hill. Go enjoy the day, it's much more fun outside! I 'm going to walk my dog, go have some fun! life is to fun to scuffle!
You're being taken advantage of because Apple delivered color accuracy on their displays that many people have been hoping for?
I know it's a little unfortunate that Apple didn't give you the display you hoped for. But Apple didn't make a display to screw consumers over. They made a display to meet "made up" standards that not many smartphone manufacturers have done. When many big A/V and tech websites praise this display with real data and other panel comparisons, it's a bit hard to ignore this.
Not caring for it is one thing. Saying it's a poorly made inaccurate display just comes off ignorant.
Displaymate also praised Samsung's latest offerings with the S7 and Note 7'a displays. Difference here is that Samsung offers four different color modes. Their "Basic Color Mode" is the most accurate of the four, but who knows. Their words are just made up and not reality.

You are ignoring what i said about comparing the output of the GPU on an accurately calibrated display monitor to the iPhone 7. You'll find the 7 does not match the accurate monitor, and is therefore, inaccurate.
For some one who seems to know everything you seem to be confused on what OCD really is. It's ok though, you are just one of the many people around here that throw that term around incorrectly.
Last weekend we were in the tmobile store, and they had 7 and 7+ and they were all fine. We took our time just glancing at the screens to try and find this mythical yellow tint people keep talking about - or those dark patches on screens.
Bunch of wasteful spoiled people. There are people who wish they could get any model iPhone and you complain about things that are part of the way they're manufactured or part of newer technology in the screen that you don't understand. Get over it. I wish Apple would ban you from buying them if you're that particular.
Not quite sure what your rambling on about OP is not happy with display he has 14 days to return as often as he likes / twice a day if he wishes until he is happy- end of story
good night.
