ya same here my 4s is much whitter and bluer my 5 is much warmer i didnt know if this is normal when i view all white pages its got a yellow tint
If it bugs you, take it back. It seems to be much more common with the 5s versus the older ones. I personally prefer it to the more blue whites. I think it looks more natural.
no i didnt purchase from apple i pre ordered it through verizon i was going to go to apple and buy apple care plus if i do that can i go through apple directly
This isn't yellow tint. The iPhone is full sRGB now. Most of your displays and other devices were never sRGB. Thus why the phone looks different compared to the 4S. The 4S has terrible color accuracy. It's not yellow tint, you just think it is.
The yellowish tint has appeared on many new iOS devices, usually the ones within the first few days of release. The iPad, the iPhone 4S, and of course the iPhone 5 have all been photographed and videoed next to their older brethren to show the differences. MacRumors even started an official yellow tint thread last week as a nod to the typical new screen issue.
However, the cause of this yellow tint may be simple. Apparently, theres an adhesive for the digitizer that takes a little while to fully cure. While its still drying, it gives a new screen a yellowish tint. According to many sources, this tint will go away in the next few days, or in a week or so. Its nothing to worry about. A similar answer was proposed in an official Apple discussion thread, so thats at least two separate sources saying essentially the same thing. Im comforted.
Now, if your iPhone 5 continues to stay yellow, or develops any of the other issues being reported, it may be time to take it in for a replacement.

I really hope our iphone5 yellowish tint will go off and look as white and cool like our iphone 4/4s.
ya i hope this is normal i pre ordere through verizon i was going to go to apple later this week and purchase apple care plus if i do this can i go through apple instaed of verizon
Why this info isn't pinned at every iPhone launch confuses me. I had the issue last year after reading about it for two or three launch cycles. About two days later it was all of a sudden gone. If it's a couple of weeks later, then you may have an issue.
No glue trick. It doesn't work. My display seems perfect. Colors are accurate and clean. I use a Pantone book on my phone all the time (reference only) and the colors are more accurate then my 4S.
