Sorry its not the best picture, but the only camera I had was the one on my blackberry.
Hardly a yellow tint. Mine (5K) were extremely noticeable. keep that bc its brand new (61 is NOT a refurb)
I have a 61 and it looks identical to that.
Just remembers the displays are brand new from June so the screens will look like that. All the new ones wont bc they were made later probably from diff factories.
Forgot to say my 61 was made 2nd week of Jan 11
This is how most yellow tints are BTW

Yea my first replacement was as yellow as that picture, that's why I am pretty happy with this one. Although it is not as white as the display models it is pretty good. Mine was made in 2011, 5th week (1st week of February 2011).

Trust me. It will look more white once you stop comparing it to other phones. When I got my 61 I compared it to one display and mine was just as bright. Didn't even bother comparing it to other phones. I suggest when you go to apple, keep your phone in your pocket haha.
Your very right. I will keep this phone till something goes wrong with it or until the iPhone 5 arrives. Thanks for all your support on this thread!
Doubt this. I just bought a new VZW iPhone 4 and VZW service from the Apple store. Came in a sealed consumer iPhone 4 box that I still have. Serial starts with C3.
Just noticed yours is from outside the US..so it shouldnt have a yellow tint...to the other guy above me...I didnt really know so i concluded this on my own (thought apple care could have been wrong...maybe he was talking about AT&T only) since no one came up with a brand new serial like yours or 6T or something..
my replacement phone starts with an 86, oriignal iphone 4 started with an 86,
so is it brand new?
so is it brand new?
Could be. My 61 was awesome until the glass came loose.
Now my 5K is good except foe scratches out the black box.
Every 5K ive ever had from Apple since the 3G has been trash.
This is weird because I had to get a replacement and it's a 4K but doesn't have a yellow tinted screen. It might have a long time ago and I never noticed it, but it doesn't have it now...
