mine is yellowish without changing the tint but changing it made it better than my 6S on whites, blacks etc so not sure why mine does that. Any ideas?
Got a tip for us?

I'm with you man. Same thread every year with pretty much the same people. Makes you wonder where the problem might really be...
You get your 7 yet Bryan? Post a pic next to your 6s on the settings screen at same brightness when you do.
In regards to your post - are you saying all the people who had yellow screens and now have been able to get screens that match apple display models plus last years 6s are lying?
Heres one. Tell this guy hes lying.

I have not received my new iPhones yet. I have a 7 and 7+ on order. I'll gladly take detailed pics when they arrive (with zero editing on my end) and I'll also scope both screens with a colorimeter to log some real stats.
Please stop trying to put words in my mouth. I've never read that guy's story so how could I possibly have called him a liar?
I've said it before and I'll say it again: anytime you mass-produce an item (and here, we're talking about over 200,000,000 units a year) there are going to be defects. Who knows what the percentage rate is, but it's probably in the low single digit range, perhaps 1-3%. The problem I have is the level of exaggeration and sky is falling attitude displayed in this thread. It's downright silly.
So you admit now that the yellow screen phones are defects? Cause if so then we agree.
I have about 8 phones I am about to buy is there a way to tell before hand without opening the box?
As well you should. More pink then yellow but still nasty.

I dont think we have started with the serial number and factory tracking as in years past, but you are welcome to kick it off.
Two questions, are the night shift sliders set the same and what happens when you turn night shift off?
Pretty sure his screen doesn't have night shift on.
The funny part is, when I turned it on, it makes the screen only slight more yellow, and can't really tell the different unless you really pay attention to the changes.
When I get my phone delivery, I am half expecting a yellow screen...
However my understanding is that the 25% brightness boost does not occur unless in direct sunlight... Take an LED flash light to the screens and see if it changes the brightness. You do need to be on auto-brightness, though.
You know I'm having other minor issues too.
7 Plus. Verizon model, 128Gb RG. I saw some folks talking about serial numbers, mine starts with C38.

I just returned mine too. 2 in my household with the same yellow screen. Before I returned it I compared with the ones they have for display at Apple Store and the display looks perfectly fine there.
At Apple Store they said they don't know what it is and advised me to return it.
So I'm gonna wait some weeks to buy it again
It's supposed to be 25% brighter than 6s, not ****ing warmer.

Well then I'm afraid you've backed yourself into a corner, old chap.
I posted a link to a guy who took his yellow screen, compared it to display models, found that it did not match the clear, blue display screens, got it exchanged, and now has a clear screen that matches the display models AND has the promised +25% brightness.
SO, if you are now saying the yellow panels are NOT the defects, and you pointed out in rebuttal to looking at the guys story that there ARE defects out there, then you must be saying that the display models, AND the replacement phone the guy got are the defects. That means this guy swapped a non-defective phone for a defective one right?
This must mean that when you get your 7, you will place it next to your 6s, and if the screen temp matches the 6s, you got a defective phone and will be swapping it out for the 'more correct' yellow panel right?
Let me make this easy, heres what we know:
1) There are two versions of the panel out there. One is yellowish, and has measured brightness levels lower than the 6S. The other is clear, blueish, and matches the temp of the iPhone 6S, but with even better colors and +25% brightness (as promised in the keynote).
2) The yellow versions are the defects
3) Neither you nor me know how many defects there are in production
So you need to concede points 1 and 2, and I'll concede point 3. Sound fair enough?

I can try when I get home later. It might've been my eyes going crazy because it was late but the bottom quarter of my screen definitely looked yellowish with brightness all the way up
mine seems slightly warmer towards bottom, but nothing tooooo bad
not sure its worth swap hell to get one with it worse and other issues on top of it, like a super dim screen and piss yellow
i have 32 also and this was supposed to be a stop gap model before next year's, for me
my SE is warm up top too, way more defined yellow than the 7 bottom
