Picked up an SE White Silver 32GB from Apple Store just last week, no issues with the screen so far.
Got a tip for us?

I have that yellow band at the top on my iPhone 6. None in my 7 Plus. Its common for LCDs to have these flaws. My advice is to forget about it and start using it as normal. I remember when I got my 6 and I used to go crazy about that yellow band and turn my phone upside down to see if it had it and no amount of replacements sorted the issue.
Probably might just consider grabbing a 6S, still thinking about.

Even the 7's have them now, pretty sad, probably gonna sell the SE and possibly grab a 6S. I could live with it but its not worth it.
If you are not distracted with such a great screen defect, well good for you... but maybe you should visit some eye care professional

Oh, I can see it if I bothered to look at it, rather than whatever information the screen is trying to give me.
When I'm looking up a phone number, I see the phone number, not any yellowing at the top the screen. Same is true for calls, emails, texts, games, and the occasional website. And I spend not one second of my valuable time staring at perfectly-white screens, and comparing them to other perfectly-white screens on other cell phones, then returning said cell phone and repeating the whole process, time and time again, all the while stressing over some yellow at the top of the screen if and when it's white.
Perhaps you and the people that can't focus on anything else other than the slight yellowing you should get some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.....you can retrain your mind to not focus on irrelevant information, and I promise you would be infinitely happier with your consumer electronic devices....
Yeah sure, all of us who are not satisfied with faulty products should undergo therapyOh, I can see it if I bothered to look at it, rather than whatever information the screen is trying to give me.

)) i got it, after visiting eye clinic, go meet some psychiatrist enjoy your faulty screen and have a nice day...
I picked up an SE as a second/backup phone just recently as my carrier put last year's model (i.e. the 16 GB & 64 GB versions) on sale for a killer price. The first thing that I noticed is that the display is much warmer than the one on my 6s (not a strip though, it's the entire screen), but I think that is just how Apple is calibrating the screens now as I heard that a lot about the 7 as well...

Can you also make a promise that you can stop exhibiting sheer ignorance to something that exists? Or...perhaps you can stop telling others not to focus on an issue that IS relevant when in comparison to an iPhone SE that doesn't have a yellow display. Apple themselves has acknowledged others I know that Experienced this issue and the device has been replaced without question after the fact.
Either way, Some would be infinitely happier if you actually understood the concern with an issue that shouldn't exist in the first place.

I do agree that the iPhone 7 has been More of a warmer tone with yellowish or neutral light tones. And I think iPhone users are not used to having warmer tones on their iPhone as Apple is known to use that blue/white stark display on past iPhone models.
Second part of photoes my new Iphone SE 32 Gb bought in Russia and made in China 2 week ago in 18 week of 2017 year....

I see a faint yellow/ warm strip at the top, but compared to some other SE's I've seen I agree, I would keep this one. I believe they all have it to some degree.
No they are not both running at full brightness. One phone is in power saving mode - and even at full brightness - it's reduced to conserve power. You posted this same photo in another thread recently saying the exact same thing that isn't true.
I bought a 64 GB in May. It has a warmer color than my previous 7 plus, but I wouldn't say it's yellow. Just warm. The new screens on the Macbooks and iPhones seemed to be calibrated more on the blue side. I wish apple would just let use change the white balance of the screen. But Apple giving us options is rare.
i'm return my phone to Apple and try buy other one same phone. On second new iphone se 32 Gb in market i found same yellow line on top of the screen. I not buy this phone with that defect of screen. I'm shocked by this quality from Apple May be Donald Trump will contribute to the return of the famous American quality...

That would be great! Except then the phones would cost $1500USD
