iPad 2 Yellow Screen Tinting Likely to Go Away Like iPhone 4?

[fjsiskilroy]

Tell Me about it!

Waited for my iPad 2 for 4 hrs and its awesome. The cameras are not as great as I expected but good (they looked better in the apple store). But over all very pleased.

Just got back from the store about a 5 hour oddyssey. Right now its syncing so well know soon enough if we have the same problem.

As far as this being the same issue as the iphone, it is the same process, The only difference its that the iPad must use a thicker glass (due to size) and that is why it doesn't show the same as the iphone (on top).

So if you were sat at home you'd say "Could you pass me the 512mb, pass me the 8gb," instead of iPad/iPhone or laptop.

Doesn't that get confusing? If you call it the 512mb how'd you differentiate between an iPhone 4 or an iPad. Do you call the iPhone 4 your '800Mhz' ?

At least he doesn't call his iPad a random name like Bob or Cori.

Watching the IPAD 2 sell like its the end of the world makes me wonder if we may see something similar on the ipad.


Does anyone really even care about other pads?

Oh baby stocks come to papa.

Part of the deal.

Yellow screens! The sky is falling! The end is near!

This thread is providing me with some great comic relief after all that has happened to us in Japan during the past 24 hours.

I'm sure none of us complaining about this yellow tint feel the issue is more important than the tragedy in Japan. I spent a large part of my day today watching news clips of the events.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those that lost their lives and loved ones.

Apparently I'm one of the lucky ones. No bleed through nor yellow area on my 32 gig black WiFi.

I only see the yellow on a very dark or black background. Near the speaker for me.

Apple is already starting to fall apart without Steve running the show. They have a completely dominant market share and still rushed the iPad 2's launch.

Really you think steve is not all over this even from home, where have you been?

So a small percentage are not PERFECT oh well one thing about apple is take it back in a few weeks and they will give you a new one. My iphone 4 button was having some problems and they gave me a bran new iphone 4 without blink an eye, all the guy asked me was "will giving you a new phone make you happy" and that was it.

Hell yes Apple is the main man.

So does any actually care about other tablets?

So, a company allowed you to return a defective product for a new one?

That's quite a story!

 

[ciTiger]

Like someone said at least you know it is new! LMAO

 

[nagromme]

It’s the Organofunctional Silane that gives it that great New iPad Smell!

Ah... you’ve gotta love Apple Launch Doom Predictions A family tradition since 1984! (And Apple has been “falling apart” non-stop since then!)

 

[jglavin]

Apple product launches are so predictable. It is uncanny.

To be fair, yes defects are bad and yes, Apple is known for perceived quality. How is it that every single release is accompanied by widespread reports like this one, yet every single one (save antennagate and a few others) is forgotten almost immediately?

If it is actually defective, even in the smallest slightest way, Apple will make it right. That's what they do.

Over the years, I've certainly posted my fair share of complaints about defective MacBooks and iPods and iPhones in these forums, too. And my complaints were undoubtedly made at a time when some other country in the world was suffering. Because really, there is always suffering somewhere in the world.

In the end, we're all guilty of being self-centered once in a while. It's human nature, I guess.

 

[JAT]

With any brand new launch, Apple seems to be shipping the units as quickly as they are manufacturing them, preventing the required time for the bonding agent to set.

No, that's not possible. Full of Win told me that Apple likes to artificially constrain supplies of new products so they can make people wait in line.

Is this the yellow issue or backlight leaking? I really only noticed it when playing a game with black borders at first in low light. I took a black picture and looked at it. It is pretty bad / noticeable in two corners and long one long edge and one short edge. I am attaching a photo. Just trying to figure out if it is a returnable problem (don't really want to do that) or the yellow glue issue that will go away.

SJ is ill...do you Really think he is being bothered by his underlings at this point?

Looks like my iMac screen.

God. They'll look for ANYTHING to complain about, won't they. Pick apart the nanometers. Sounds like my ex girlfriend.

Leave if you don't like it....plus how is this not a valid complaint? You see how yellow it is on a black background.

You guys are holding it wrong!

Ummm could be backlight leaking if the lighting unit is in the spot. Sure hope they have this fixed by 25th when AU gets them.

 

[HXGuy]

It's a backlighting issue. My LED TV has the same problem, looks very similar to the above picture.

Both my new iPad and my wife's also has the same problem. Seems to be pretty widespread.

 

[jnc]

Yep, go back to the end of that queue!

back of the exchange queue?

Yellow tint? You are looking at it wrong.
