Pretty sure the S7 uses the same display as the Note 7. If that's the case then the S7 is definitely brighter than the iPhone 7....

iPhone 7 on the left and Note 7 on the right.
Idk man I got my 7 yesterday and I compared them the iPhone seemed to be about the same or maybe a little more bright to me, but I could be wrong just looked brighter to me.
 
This messes up colors in general. Try inverting the screen colors after applying a filter and see how the blacks/greys are affected.
No that's not true, did you even try it?

It corrects the color balance and hue nicely. Neutral or cool.

Question is does it require CPU and battery to adjust or is it a native calibration

This was my worry about doing this.
 
as i posted on another thread i changed the colors as best i could in the settings and its much better then what it was however my 6s plus is still brighter and the iPhone 7 plus is dimmer. other then that its fine.

You're right. Seems to be only the case when you have inverted colors on (I turned it it on randomly).

I still think it's not as good as a proper RGB slider would function as it makes the screen shift to a particular tone aggressively.
 
Crappy photo as its from my iPad 3 but launch day iPhone 6 on the left and launch day iPhone 7 on the right. Both at max brightness with a blank Safari tab. If I'm pushed I'd say that the 6 is fractionally cooler in the flesh (I've always felt that it's been a bit too blue anyway!) but both are pretty equal. I wish I had my OH's launch day 5 to hand as that has a lovely pink rectangle in the middle of the screen now!

Have you manually calibrated your screen?

That is about what I see when I compare my new 7 to my 6S. Both have even white screens and the 7 is very slightly warmer - only noticeable when compared side by side. There are phones with yellow screens out there however as happens with every launch and I'm lucky I didn't get one of them.
 
My iPhone 7 was a bit yellow when i took it out the box, used it all day yesterday and this morning is almost back to normal
 
Copied the following from another forum:

"The yellow "tint" people are talking about is the phone following 6500K white point which is the standard which most devices try to follow but never calibrated well enough to achieve. Even when you tweak the colour filter setting the displays native white point is closer to 6500K. It's a more accurate display. I guess people are so use to having blue tint on their uncalibrated TV's and other devices. Give it a chance once you get use to the 6500K standard for white you'll find blue tint annoying."

Isn't 6500k a much more cooler (blueish) tone and far from the yellow?
 
One data point. I just compared my black 7 128 to my wife's 6. Brightness at 100%. Screen on 7 is definitely a little bit brighter, and it is maybe just a touch warmer, but very minor difference. I would not call my screen yellow, in comparison, in any way. They are honestly hard to tell apart in color.
 
I've been using my 7 Plus just fine coming from a 6s Plus and my brother has a 6s Plus and I've been comparing. His screen is brighter and a lot cooler. I don't mind the 7 Plus being warmer but I wish the brightness was on par. I'm waiting to see if more tech sites start posting articles about this. Otherwise, loving the phone.

that's the weird thing - it's obviously not an uncommon issue, but NONE of them have said anything (from what I've seen) apart from that OS X Daily article about 'fixing' the colours.

I figure that starting tomorrow and Tuesday, we may see articles start to pop up.

The glue has not dried yet. The glue has not dried yet. The glue has NOT dried YET!


This has happened with almost every iPhone launch that I can remember. Can you people not use the search tool? These threads pop-up around launch time because the phones were just made and the glue hasn't dried yet.

What glue are you referring to? There is no glue between the two glass layers anymore because there is only one layer. There is NO glue. No glue. No glue.

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.

Got any proof to back up your statement? Ill help you out - no you dont. Like the other poster said theres no glue. Never been glue. Never will be glue. Glue isnt used.


Apple uses two suppliers for screens. One has a yellow tint with less sharp text and worse contrast. The other is clear, crisp, and beautiful. You can tell the instant you turn on the phone which screen you got. If you got a yellow screen it will never get better. No glue will dry. No break in will happen. This we know from multiple years of this same issue.

If you like the warmer screen keep it. Just dont ever put it next to one of the good screens. Cause once you see what you could have had you cant unsee it.

Nope, Apple uses two suppliers and one has a yellow tint. It also has less sharp text. It isnt more correct. If you like yellow tint you should demand a screen with good brightness, clear text etc as present on the good screens. Then you can adjust your screen to be more yellow/"correct" and have both.
