I have tested that if you turn the color filters on and adjust it to cooler, the pinky tint may be less obvious.
Got a tip for us?

Is there even display on iPhone7?

Thanks, von7ces! I have tested that, too.
Turned the colours a bit towards yellow (I like the True Tone function of the iPad Pro)...but as the pinkish tint is only at one side, it is visible anyway (i.e. one sees a (slight) difference between both sides).

I think that some people are more sensitive to color variations. I'm one of those who sees the yellow. I don't like yellow screens, but uneven screens are the worst and the most distracting for me. Fortunately the screens on the iPhones I've had including the 7 are good ones with very minor flaws that I can live with. I've returned some iPads in the past however for uneven or yellowish screens.
and also, I found that turning up the lightness can reduce a little bit the uneven, not using the automatic adjustment....
well, it pushes me to come up with a lot of way to deal with it......still annoyed
How come apple hasn't said anything, they probably did this on purpose or don't want to do a major recall because of the display.
I went to apple yesterday, I was going to get a replacement 7+ but I forgot to backup my phone so I decided to wait. Then I went today and some other guy said it was the very small difference (it is not, it is very big). So I talked to apple chat support and they said they will give me a new replacement on Thursday (booked me an appointment). Let's hope i don't have to talk to their manager (they told me to say that)
Ipad air 2 camera, im not sure but it looks normal on camera but trust me the 7+ (left) is way yellower.
Full brightness, night shift off

Hm, for me the left one looks absolutely okay. You may see the difference only if you compare to the right one.
I would have no problem, if my screen was a bit warmer or more yellow *overall*. But the light pinkish tine on only one side is not that nice.
For my iPad Pro I got used to it...also using True Tone (I like the warmer touch when reading in a dark environment, it's much better for my eyes). Hope I can get also used to it with my iPhone.

well, yellow is not the worst issue. The uneven is.
Mine is just like yours, from top to bottom, the color changes like pink--blue--yellow.......which makes me want to have another replacement........actually it is my second one from the exchange. The former one has a yellower bottom......sigh

by the way, they told you that you need to meet the manager if you want a replacement?
actually, the manager helped me to have the replacement and told me they won't let me to have more replacement until I found a perfect one.....and I want to go there again and don't want to meet the manager....
If you have the money or credit just buy multiple from apple online. You can do two at a time. Keep the best of the two, return the other, and order two more. Rinse repeat. You'll eventually find one that is good.
Apple will let you do this over and over. I'm not sure when they'd stop you!
I guess we will find out tomorrow, if i get a good manager or a bad one. Apple support told me they have to replace it since the genius bar notes on monday said so, and if i had a problem i could call the manager on duty. Ill keep ya posted
If the yellow display is not an issue why isnt Apple putting their 2 cents in and saying something. Just giving replacements is not going to help
Good lord that I thought my eyes were too good for my own sake. I also have this problem that about 1/3 bottom is more "dull" than the upper 2/3. I have 2 7 Plus and both have this issue but it's not too severe. I also have a regular 7 and it seems the screen is more even.
Maybe they put the LED's on top now instead of the bottom? I've yet to see a 7 or a 6 without some sort of uneven lighting or dull yellowish tinge somewhere on the screen.

My 1/3 bottom of my 4.7 inch is slightly dimmer/yellowish/tinge also.
I don't see any benefit in starting the exchange game at this point though. They are all probably like this again. (3 years in a row now)
In the german forum there is one user who writes that he has seen this pinkish tint on the left side at 3 iPhone 7 (his one, his girlfriend and one he sent back because of a dead pixel). That's what I'm afraid of....sending it back and getting one which hat some other problem (hissgate, dead pixel, ...).
Okay, thanks for the info! I'm going to keep mine. Fortunately it does not make any hissgate sounds at all (many people are reporting that) 
To those saying they are all like this, they are not. I eventually got a uniform screen after 5 returns. I'm happy I did it. Beautiful screen!
can you take a photo of your screen? give me some hope.....I want to go there for the second replacement..
