Yellow-gate? ;)

This is my 7 256gb Matte Black at 100% brightness. Compared to my old 6s, it is warmer but does not suffer from yellowgate and is uniform. Can't really complain. Looks good to me.
Did you post a screenshot?
It makes sense. These are the same people who say things like "oh it's just warmer" and love to go into a thread where people are having a problem, just to say "mine is fine."
How else am I meant to do it? Use another device to take a pic of the actual phone?
I'm not saying others are not having a problem. I'm just saying I don't.
A screenshot does NOT show the actual quality of the screen. It's just an image of the screen content, not the screen itself.
but it's at 100% brightness...

Guys there is no "Yellowgate" on the new iPhones, in fact, what you perceive as "yellow" when viewed next to an iPhone 6/6s is in fact the correct White Point.
The displays on the 6/6s only use the sRGB Color Gamut and have a "blueish white point" with a color temperature of 7300K as measured by DisplayMate (http://www.displaymate.com/iPhone6_ShootOut.htm)
But with the new DCI-P3 color standard for the new iPhone 7 the white point is now the correct D65 white point at x=0.3127 y=0.3290 with a color temperature of around 6500K.
So basically what you say is a "Yellowgate" is in fact a "Bluegate" from your iPhone 6 and 6s with a blueish white point. What you see now on the iPhone7 is the correct white point, as in how white should actually look like on displays.

If this were true, then EVERY 7 would have the same tint. But they don't. Some are more yellow than others. While I do not doubt there is a different white point, the problem many people are posting here are just of the same defective screens we see every year.
You could line up 10 iphone 7s or 7 pluses, and they were all have different shades on the screen. some more pronounced than others. The people in this thread are posting the worst examples.

I think at this point the topic has been beaten to death and the conversation has taken a turn for the worse. Closing
