Still I can't imagine them trying to get away with this after you'll show them the 'rainbow' on your screen

iPhone 7/Plus Yellow tint to my iPhone 7 Plus screen

I just found a new #gate. do anyone here found any dust under the screen? easy, just put a torchlight on the iPhone 7 screen when black, then will see all those dust stuck inside the screen. when you turn it on most that close to the LED screen will turn black dot. When iPhone turn off those dust color is white when torchlight on it, but when iPhone turn on will be black. mine have 3 spots LoL. I thought iPhone 7 is dust and water resistant.
A pal of mine has just collected his 7+ from the EE store here in the UK. He's waited 4 weeks for it. I've just been checking it and the screen is great. Not the white blue of my old 4S or the yellowy screen of my wife's SE - just perfect. The SE has a very yellow screen. But in reality, after reading this thread, how disgusting and totally dishonest of Apple to sell such a high priced product with such poor QC and so much dishonest Marketing crap from fat boy Phil S. The way those guys speak at the Apple events is pure vomit. How anyone can be fooled by them is incredible.
Sadly, since he had a 6+ before, I found it really hard to be excited by this 7+ which just looked... identical.

So after going through 3-4 7 Pluses ALL with yellow screens (not just yellowish, but yellow with uneven tints, dull lifeless colors where orange looked brown), I waited two months and just got a phone with a pretty good screen. It looked perfect at the hello screen (blueish like my old 6 plus), but after setting it up got warmer. It is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the earlier phones I got. I don't notice the warmer tone at all, and I finally understand why some people raved about the 7 plus screen. The earlier models I got must have been defective, because orange, actually looks orange on this new phone.
Here is the really weird thing:
Like I said, orange looked brown on all 3-4 of those phone I went through earlier in sept/oct. Everything was dull and lifeless. Colors looked washed out.
Now, when I activate the app switcher, and the cards of multiple apps comes up, my orange goes back to that dull brown color. When I bring the app back to the front, it turns bright orange again.
What does that mean??? That is not the panel itself then, it must be a software/firmware thing.
Unfortunately, they overpolished the antenna down to the silver aluminum. So I am undecided about keeping this one. But the screen, the haptic engine, EVERYTHING feels better about this phone.

I dunno what you're talking about with card switcher don't think I've seen it but perhaps switch from dcip3 to srgb back and forth mode
My iPhone 7 initially had a pissy yellow tint. You'd really notice it on icons like the messages app. The green background of the white bubble really highlighted it. But he screen was flawless other wise and I was able to correct it with display accomodation.
The thing is after a week of using display accomodation I notice that the screen now was overly blue. There was a real noticeable blue tint to everything. I decided to turn off display accomodation, the screen was perfect. No tint to anything, proper whites, rich colours.
I must've had on of those screens were the adhesive hadn't cured yet. Never believed in that theory… I guess it's true.

I had the same display issues (low brightness and warm color) on my iPhone 7 plus and fixed it with SETTINGS > GENERAL > RESET > RESET ALL SETTINGS.
So let me get this straight. You're saying everyone who has yellowish screen needs to do a complete reset of their phone and voila...problems solved.
Bwahahaha...joker.
Btw you wouldn't have some beautiful timeshare properties down in Florida for sale now would you?

Honestly.. i don't care what you believe. I read many threads and suggestions trying to fix the display issue on my iPhone 7 plus (which had a darker screen and warm tone) just like everyone else is posting. I was going to return mine and revert back to the 6 but came across another post that mentioned RESET ALL SETTINGS. It worked for me and is def worth a try if you have the issue.
I would normally agree with you, but with what I discovered about colors changing in the app switcher, and the followup post, there may be some truth to it if it is a color settings problem.
Not saying it is true. I haven't tested it yet. But not out of question now
I am interested to see if it helps others. The theory I read was some devices were possibly shipped with improper color settings applied and resetting applies them correctly.
Ok then maybe it's possible. Still find it hard to believe though. But if one is inclined to do a reset then it's worth trying...
Edit : thought about it some more and really think it's very very hard to believe. People who've done the reset way and afterwards claim they've noticed change must be placebo effect.

They're uneven. I've seen about six 7 Pluses. One had a screen that approximated the gorgeous 6 Plus, with decently white backgrounds (although the 6 Plus was still better). The others were all various shades of yellowish.
I've read some say that yellowish is better on the eyes. Not my eyes.
hard to capture, so I did it off axis which is fairly representative
the top isn't dimmer, if anything the bottom actually is haha but this is representative of tint overall
its a bit dimmer and warmer towards bottom, but no way I'm going to play swap hell on this one
first pic is 35% autobrightness which shows bottom off better,

totally also not sure why camera shows top of screen as warm and same with left side, not at all what Im seeing. what I am seeing is a dimmer and warmer bottom, a warm bottom. lol!
happy enough with it! plus its on 10.1.1 which I need for jailbreak,
plus once I get a dark theme and keyboard as usual and stop getting blasted with bright white, I won't even see it anymore.
mine also gets bright at low brightness, something I personally value and won't be without in the swap game,

thankfully mine looks like the right in real life, even tho bottom is a bit dimmer, but not always noticeable,
Are people still experiencing yellow screens? I'm on my third iPhone 7, all with yellower screens than the display models and my friends'.
Here's a comparison with my mate's iPhone 7. mine is the black on the left.

If You search throughout these forums, you'll find out that iPhone 7 primarily seems to have a warmer tone or more yellowish tone than the stark white display on the 6S.
My 7 Plus also has a warmer to it compared to my 6s Plus.
How long have you had them before exchanging? My iPhone 7 had a yellow tinted screen then a week after I got it the yellow tint went away.
How much are you actually aware of the differences between the 6s and 7? You were on your third iPhone 7 and you believe that potentially they're all faulty? Have you considered that the iPhone 7 just has a different display over the other iPhones you've used in the past? The 7 naturally has a warmer tone to it if you research this thread and other threads.
I have used multiple iPhone 7's/7 Plus's and they are all somewhat yellowish in display.
I think you're going to find out not every iPhone is going to have the same with display, even if you are provided a fourth replacement iPhone. It doesn't necessarily mean there is an issue. Part of the reason may be the adhesive getting warmer when iPhone display is being used. As the other formum member above you stated, you may either adjust to it or it may dissipate over time.
