Not glue

Never has been glue

Never will be glue


The 5 had yellow screens at launch too. It's not a new supplier it's just a crappy panel they can make in bulk. Take it back and tell me you think it's crap.

lol ok...
 
It's not glue (IME). I've always heard this from ppl but it never got better over time. Just exchange it.
 
Mine is definitely warm. I can really tell when I take it outside with a webpage up with a white back ground. The background looks slightly red compared to the white facia. I never saw this with my iPhone 4.
 
My 4S had a cool screen, my 5 definitely had a warmer one with a noticeable yellow tint, though it didn't really bother me and I just didn't worry about it….

However, my 5s is back to the cooler spectrum and more closely matches my 4s and my iPad.
 
My 5s screen is slightly cooler and slightly brighter than my 5. The 4s by comparison is much cooler. This changes from model to model. There's never been consistency. What I don't understand is why Apple still doesn't support color profiles on iOS devices.
