Lol, it’s because you’ve got used to the tint that’s all
I hope you are telling the truth because my screen is not uniform and would love it too all be.
As mentioned it's not Glue and never was
It is manufacturer variance. Thats it.
In The Verge review you can see Nilays phone is clearly cooler:

In most photos I've seen the screen is cooler. This is great as I prefer cool screens.
There is no intentional Apple color calibration. The screens are whatever the vendor picks. Samsung leans cool, thus the X is cool. Cheap ass Japan Display leans yellow, so the 7 and 8 are mostly yellow.
The end.

Not sure if trolling...regardless, there is no glue issue people. Stop it!! True Tone on the X makes things very yellow unless you're under bright lights. I snapped 2 photos of my X. With True Tone off it looks perfectly neutral white. With True Tone on it looks yellow. So tell me, geniuses, does turning off True Tone on my phone somehow cause this mythical glue to instantly dry?

You need to go into settings, accessibility, display accommodations then do to reduce white point to the lowest level.
fixes the issue for me

True Tone ‘off’ drys the glue, True Tone ‘on’ melts the glue again.

I wouldn’t accept this excuse when I buy a new Mercedes and I don’t accept it from a new iPhone. This is an expensive, luxury item. I’m not a beta tester. Why would glue only show on one angle? Yes I’ll wait a week, but people have a right to be annoyed
I would say mine was white when looking straight at it then a slight blue tint when tilting it.the X changes tint as you move it so looking straight its yellow then a slight tint and its pure white its horrible
Same myth every year.
1. Lamination glue is 100% transparent like water, OCA, optically clear adhesive.
2. The curing of the clue requires UV light and sometimes heat. The process is 100% done after the curing in the machine.
this happens EVERY year.
go back and search for yellowing screens all the back to iPhone 3g days.
Nothing new here.
Your avatar says you are a regular. I find that hard to believe since you posted this untrue rubbish, unless it was purely a satirical troll.
Totally in your head and colour perception is all down to viewing conditions (lighting). One glance at your photo and the yellow lightning connector shows the colour temperature of your photo is well off neutral. Adjusting this to neutral white results in the display looking much cooler. The human eye has a poor perception of correct colour as your brain adjusts so everything looks neutral much like the when we switch the lights on at night, everything still looks as it should.

You’re right, very warm lamp in my office. But it was still warmer than it should’ve been under all lighting. I returned it and bought another one and it’s much better.
