Ip5 display = creamy yellow tint

The warmer colour temperature is closer to D65 which is the standard that all displays should be running at so I'm happy.
*Facepalm*
I'm spending too much time on these forums
Coming here is a guarantee to see multiple blogs about every possible thing that someone will not like about a new device. I refuse to go looking for any problems with mine. I didn't see any scratches, dings, dents, and the screen looks fine so I am a happy camper.
Ah, someone who speaks English! The problem all you crybabies are having with a "yellow" screen is that it's "warmer" (or cooler if you understand lighting). Apple's displays have been blue-heavy or "hot" for the past few years, and now that they are PROPERLY lit and colored, you all are whining that it's "Yellow". That's what happens when you take a color temp that's too hot, use it for 5 years, then switch to a more accurate display. Same thing happened with the iPad 3.
A cooler colors temp should NEVER be "prefered". It stinks cause (and this is not apples fault really), is that the vast majority of the population think "brighter/whiter/etc..." is better. But all it is, is wrong.
I will assume most here have their TV's set to the wrong color temp. Find the movie/cinema/theater mode, make sure warm (or warm 2 if you have that option) is selected, and try watching it like that for awhile. Will the TV be perfect at those settings? No. But a large majority of TV's are at least some what closer, and better than "dynamic" mode.
People can prefer what they want, and there is nothing wrong with that. But what irks me, is when people start saying there is something wrong. And blaming apple, asking for exchanges. I fully believe Apple is trying to correct the masses. So either stick with it, or go get a S3 or something.
I have been calibrating displays for about 10 years (not professionally, but serious and expensive hobby). So I am very very used to 6500k (there is no such think as D65, but I am just not-picking lol). Looking at golfs pic, the one on the left just looks blue to me. It doesn't look more white, is just looks blue.

faulty antenna = you're holding it wrong
yellowish display = warm
blueish display - cool
awful maps = work in progress
scuffing = China's fault

LoL you're funny.
My i5 screen is a bit warmer than I typically like but it does look nice. I keep my brightness at about 55%.
If a background is suppose to be white but looks yellow, I'd be annoyed, who wouldn't. Most people are used to seeing the color white on a white background, it just feels normal. I myself being one, and could care less about color calibration, as long as the colors look natural.
There a lot of reasons for yellowish screens, these could include changes in technology, QC changes, changes in the way its calibrated or perhaps its just faulty. Most likely, its a mixture of what i just mention.
If your not happy with your product, even in the slightest, return it, don't let other people tell you its okay just because they say it is.

Ip5 display is warmer than ip4 but gives you vivid colors. The contrast is way better than on ip4s that had yellowish tint
This has happened to me a couple of times, both times in the App Store.
Just happened 2 mins after I posted this while trying to download Battle Nations, it started flickering when it asked for my password. Btw I don't understand why sometimes I get asked for a password and other times I don't, I need to research this I guess.
