Wow, Color Profiles did the trick, i hated the yellow screen of my 2 month old 4s, now it even looks better when compared to my old iphone 4 which used to have this really cool screen color. Now my iphone 4 looks kinda pinkish when compared to my 4s

I tried out Color Profiles, and while it got rid of the yellow tint in my white 32GB 4S, I also felt it made the screen noticeably darker. Even on a cloudy day, it was more difficult to see outside than before.
My replacement arrived for another issue and it has a much cooler and brighter screen than my original 4S. But it also has noticeable uneven backlighting on the top 20% of the screen and the bottom 10%. Whites look great, but the uneven backlighting is then even more noticeable.
Now I have to make a decision: take the replacement 4S with a brighter, cooler screen with noticeable uneven backlighting, or keep the new 4S with a dimmer, warmer screen with more uniform backlighting.
To me, the warmer screens actually look nicer when watching video, looking at photos, or playing games. But the UI looks better on the cooler screens, as does the Internet, or reading email, or anything else with a predominantly white background.

Mine changes sometimes and I think it's due to the auto brightness. The other day it looked green. Weird as it never has before. Now slightly pink. Sometimes it's really noticeable. Other times it appears perfect. Weird huh
My sons iPod touch Xmas present looked yellow. Now it looks fine. I was really suprised to see how yellow. Thank fully it changed.

That would be interesting if some phones do actually get cooler as time goes by. I've only had mine for a few weeks but the warmer hue has stayed the same. Honestly you get used to it and the only time I noticed it was when I compared it to my girlfriend's iPhone 4.
I've decided to keep my original device, because even though my replacement has a fantastically bright and cool hue screen (which I prefer), the unevenness is just too noticeable. So I went back and played with the Color Profiles app again, and found if I have no color profile set and just move the temperature to slightly cooler it looks much better.
It's still not as bright as my replacement though, and my girlfriend's iPhone 4 is a bit brighter too. I've heard that warmer hued screens are brighter, but my original device is warm but dimmer than most other devices I've compared it to.
