I totally agree. I think I need to get one of those too. Congrats to those who have their new iPhones already today.
Here we go again. He should have reported what the screen looked like before he put the cheap screen protector on it. Also has he tried the new IOS 10 feature were you can adjust the yellow and blue settings? You don't even know what the default settings are. You guys are jumping to conclusion and don't even have all the facts. Of all the reviews out so far, not one of them has said anything about a yellow screen. Some people are just looking for an excuse and you don't even have the phone yet.

Okay? If none of them mention it, but it's visible on a few devices, that leads me to believe that it IS a fault, no? And people aren't just "jumping to conclusions", but that some devices are legitimately faulty? Which is what we said in the first place? Which renders this whole post pretty much useless lol.
My screen also has a horrible yellow tint on it, and also appears to be darker than my iPhone 6.
Folks, it's the glue. Give it a week to dry out. These were just built by Chinese hands a few days ago.
Would the glue also affect the brightness though? Because the display itself is just kind of dull in comparison.
First thing I thought of lol, because it looks like it's permanently on. But it's off.
Yes try the blue/yellow filter and see how you go. It definitely made a difference.
Anyway the slight yellow tint I had a few hours ago seem to have dissipated.
Only a few days ago? Really? I didn't know they were made so soon!
They were made a few weeks ago. It's not the glue. Your eyes just get used to the yellow after a while. For most people anyway.
In most cases, it is the glue. Just give it a few days and all should be good. It also takes a couple of charging cycles for the battery to settle in. If any type of yellow tint continues after a week, you can easily exchange it for a new phone.
Enjoy!
The store doesn't have any replacement stock anyway, so I don't have much of a choice but to give it a few days at least lol. We'll see how it goes. It's obviously not a I CAN'T USE MY PHONE issue, but definitely something I'd like to get fixed when I'm able. Hopefully it just sorts itself out.
Okay. I do vaguely remember it happening with my 6s. I've noticed it's started to ware off anyhow.
Will this screen get brighter (I hope so), as well as the yellow tint my iPhone 7 Plus screen seems 25x less brighter than my iPhone 6 Plus.
I have an appointment at a Genius Bar next week for this iPhone 7 Plus, hopefully the screen will adjust to being 25x brighter with no tint of yellow in that time.

- The screen is terrible. Dull, low resolution, feels ancient. The plus I looked at in the store was much much better.
- It's fast. Duh.
- Home button will take some getting used to.
I'm going with the glue if there is any unevenness to the yellow tint.. I remember launch day on the iP5, I was one of the first to receive and immediately came in here and was the first to notice issues of a yellow screen. At first, there's was fears of a new "yellow-gate", but, sure enough, people suspected it was glue curing after one guy experienced in how the phones are made raised that as a cause, and Apple later confirmed it. Was gone in a few days.
And, yes, some of these phones were made in the past week or so and shoved into boxes before the glue fully cured. It's that "just in time" manufacturing.
