For the first few weeks expect it to be a new device. Happened with my 3G S (faulty water sensor), I had to have a hold placed on my CC until I received the new unit and sent them my old one back.
Got a tip for us?

Uh-Oh - Anyone got yellow spots on their 14 screen?

Yellow tint is really becoming an 
trademark. 
Hoping the mid-July batch will be better but it probably won't. These things are made in Chinese sweat shops afterall!
Considering that the yellow blob is in the same general area (bottom-right) -- anyone know what electrical components are behind the screen down there? Maybe it's from EM interference?

combined with a 2 year contract in excess of $1,800 as well. These screens should be perfect. No yellowing, dust, or dead pixels.
Hopefully this is a minor problem but I'm nervous. Haha
He didn't say keep it. He said hold on until there's enough available for you to take it back.
If it's fairly noticeable I'll replace mine after a more stock arrives. If its hardly noticeable I won't bother. Nothing is perfect. If you go through life expecting perfection you will always end up disappointed.
I'd be happy to get one with a yellow screen. It would give me a phone to play with, drain the battery, get the kinks worked out. Then when it loses its newness and just becomes an everyday tool I go and exchange it for one with a brand new screen and battery.
+1 was thinking this too.. maybe let it go naked and if it does get some scratches.. well exchanging it anyways
Just take it to the Apple Store and have them replace the phone. Not a big deal. Live with it until they have consistent stock, or just go there on Monday and see what they can do for you.
I had dust under my iPad's screen and took it to the Apple Store and they replaced it without any hassle. My friend's iPad had a dead pixel and they did the same for him.

me too!
Just got my IP4 and noticed 2 distinct yellow spots on the bottom of the screen (left and center) too... As well as a general kind of yellow glow in the bottom 1/4" of the display...

can you post any pics?
Maybe we should do a poll on this, to see who has and who hasnt got yellow spots.
Just got mine and I see no yellowing anywhere. Might be my eyes but who cares. If I can't see it, it won't bother me.
I have a feeling this thread is going to get as long as the "Do you have cracks in your 3G housing" thread.
