Anyone else have a yellow screen? On my replacement phone, I noticed right away that everything was a little warmer or more yellow (particularly noticeable on white backgrounds like a blank safari page or your mail screen).

I thought I was just being paranoid until tonight when I compared mine side-by-side with an iphone 5 in the store. Mine is definitely slightly more yellow with both set on manual brightness at max brightness (to be consistent).

Anyone else notice?
 
It's hit and miss. Each display is a bit different. Luck of the draw, my friend.

Advice? Don't compare with other phones or it will bother you. Just use it and your eyes will adjust.
 
Yellow? Yes. Warm? No. People use the two interchangeably a lot.

Good luck returning it though. Hopefully the Genius sees it as a true flaw and doesn't give you the old "each screen is a bit different" line.
