Return now or wait for software update?

I believe it is a software issue and you better wait for a new update.

thousands od iphone owners are complaining and for sure apple will update their software soon but try to mail them.

It is better of all of users who have yellow gradient on the bottom should mail them to force them to find a solution in the new update.

I just came back from the apple store griping about:

1. High pitched noise from video recording
2. Wi-Fi not connecting properly ( has gotten worse each day)
3. Yellow tint

The people there are absolutely brainless (Northpark Mall in Dallas TX). They give me the old we aren't aware routine. I give the phone to a rep and let him hear how awful it records sound and he has the GAWL to say "There's nothing wrong as far as I can and don't expect high end recording." I decide to start pulling random people in the store looking for the Ipod products to tell me if that sounds normal. They aren't too happy with that at all when peoples faces were grimacing over the noise. They quickly dispatched a manager who quickly switched it out.

I have had my phone switched 3 times each with different serial number ( 922, 925, 926) They all do the same thing (except my brothers who's phone has no issues whatsoever) . Either they announce that they are working on patches for the 3.1 OS that will help correct issues over the weekend (I'm not interested in hearing new features until this is squared away) or it goes back Monday for good.

 

Bought my first iPhone early this week, had a bad speaker. Took it to the Store, swapped for a new one, and had a horrible screen. They let me swap it one more time, because of inventory. Of course the third has a yellow screen.. hoping a software update can do something.

 

Seriously man, no offence, but try to lighten up and not worry about the small things so much. I saw your thread complaining about buttons that were 1px off in the UI, and now this one saying the screen is a little yellow. Ask yourself, does it really matter?

 

i too live in dallas and avoid the apple store in northpark like the plague. try knox-henderson... more competent but i suspect the results will not be much different

 

Its made in China. I doubt anything from Apple is going to be perfect. Its just like everything else out there...

And people need to realize that. Your not paying the higher price for a perfect product. Your paying because it has the Apple logo/name on it.

But people don't like to think that way, the right way, because we all like to complain, well most of us do.

 

Because you're not going to lose any sleep over these "bugs," in fact I doubt they really impact your user experience at all.

 

The OP cannot lighten up and not worry about the small things so much, hence his nick.

 

Yeah. I never use my phone in sunlight anyway.

 

The yellow tint won't be fixed with a software update, such thing never happened. Someone made a blogpost about it with the 3G last year, but that was just wishful thinking, and now everybody thinks Apple changes color temperatures through software updates. Not true. WYSIWYG.

Return/exchange it if you're not happy.

 

A slight rattle could indicate the insides of his phone are loose, and could cause problems later. That's a good reason for an exchange.

An ever so slightly off-colour screen is something most people wouldn't even notice.

 

I hate to say this, but you are WAY too picky. I have friends who find
problems with almost everything they buy. Very common with doctors and engineers.

 

Do what makes you happy. If it bothers you exchange it, your the one that has to carry it around and use it.

 

spaz how many iphones have you been through since the first model? 10? 20? maybe you should just give up.

Exactly. Either deal with the "problem" or don't; you're the one that has to use the phone.

 

I must be lucky. My screen has no yellow tint. It has no rattles. It takes great videos with no sharp noises. No cracks on the case, and no rattles. It serial # is 88924efV3nr. One of the first runs I believe.

 

I heard this argument: it's made in XXXX, every time people complain about hardware issues of a product. IMHO, it doesn't matter where the product is made. It's the quality control that counts. No matter where you mass manufacture a thing, some of them are going to be defect. That's just fact. If Apple's testing process/quality assurance is done well, then you won't hear people complain about it all the time.
