Buy one SE 32 Gb in Russia maided in China in May 2017. When i open box and turn on i check yellow line on the top of screen. I return that phone and get money. After that i buy new one SE 32 Gb but when open the box i was see yellow line on the top too. Return that phone to seller too and got money. Very bad quality from Apple with that model. I have ipad mini retina and there are very good quality screen. I lost confidence to Apple. Bad company politics in QA will be ruin all Jobs achievements...

I've got SE 32GB couple days ago, i dont have yellow band at the top or around the edges of the screen (or yellow dots) like some of you having in the pics. Mine having uniform warm yellow tint color all over the screen (night shift is off, but feels like its on all the time) instead of colder white\bluish color like i have on my 4s. The thing is, the screen looks good as is, but as soon as i move back to my MBP, or put it against the 4s, then i realize how much yellow the screen is...
Im not sure if i should go thru the hassle and go back to the shop i bought it from (not Apple store), try to replace it and play the "Apple lottery game", or just learn to leave with it..
40% brightness (between WiFi & BT buttons on the control center) on both SE and 4s, night shift off -
100% brightness on both SE and 4s, night shift off -

OMG
It's so bad... My returned to Apple SE 32 Gb screen was more better but have yellow line on upper part of screen...
That is dingy as hell
My SE 64 gold has warmth at the top of the screen but no yellow screen and no vertical interlacing
Really glad I got a keeper had it over a year now
Some of the dirt comes from the lens on a beat up IP5 i used for taking the pics, at least i hope so..
I went back to the shop and showed them the screen having yellow tint all over it compared to the demo one they having on the display, they agree to replace it for a new one, the only problem they didnt had one (32GB Space Grey) in stock... need to wait few days till they'll get one, hopefully it will be with a good screen, if not, even though i dont need the 128GB version, if they having one in stock, and its with a good screen, i will pay the extra and take it.

You definitely have a yellower area at the top of the screen- especially comparing it to the bottom. How do you not see that?
I saw that, although since the all screen is yellow it didnt bother me that much.
At this point im waiting for the replacement to come, should be at the shop the next days, hopefully it will be a good one.
They all have the yellow at the top to some extent from what I've seen. Even my 5c and 5S had it, but it seems worse on the SE. Hopefully on your new one the entire screen won't be has yellow as the one you currently have though.
Yeah I find vertical lines or an all yellow dingy display on SE to be more problematic than that as well
