Unfortunately, my iPhone 5S's screen is pretty yellow compared to say, my iPod Touch, my MacBook Pro, my friend's iPhone 5, etc. It is depressing to multi-task between my iPhone 5S and my Macbook Pro, as every time I look at the iPhone, the screen just looks incredibly yellow and dingy.

I am aware that on IOS6, you could simply jailbreak the iPhone and with Cydia, you could install a setting that allows you to change the temperature/warmth of your iPhone's screen.

Surely, with the amount of yellow-gate complaints, and the amount of iPhones being sent back to be exchanged due to yellow-gate, it makes sense for Apple to have their own setting in which you can change the screen colour temperature?

I am desperate for some kind of fix for this. It is really ugly to see. I haven't had the chance to compare it to other iPhone 5S phones yet, though.

If you hold your iPhone 5S up against your older model iPhones or your MacBook/iMac screens, does the 5S seem really yellow and warm?

It's pissing me off that, having paid so much for this, such a simple thing is ruining the whole iPhone experience for me.
