iPhone 6 screen top yellow tint

[toughnut]

My battery life was great for first few days, 10-11 hours usage but suddenly dropped to barely 3-4 hours usage. Can literally see the % goes down. Suspect lightning port faulty or shorted as ori cable detected as not compatible.

I told them battery drain really fast and already reset/restore/reformat/clean start but still draining. Cable also detected as not ori. CS replaced my cable and send in phone to techinician. Checked for 1 hour for liquid damage, battery health, main board etc, all ok and said no issue duh. Asked CS to inform technician to recheck again on the port as charging got issue (very slow even with Apple 12w) and after 10mins, CS emerged with white box hehe.

Total duration close to 2 hours. When I arrived at ALab, they told me 3 hours wait lol. Now iPhone doing 10-11 hours of usage easily.

Sorry bro, which service centre did you go? Wheel-Lock place? Do they allow you to check for cosmetic defects like scratches etc? My phone got dead-pixel la

Wheelock. the lady bring out the phone ask me check on the spot for problem. The set looks as good as brand new with the apple screen protector.

Means your 6+ really cui compared to mine haha. I lazy to queue for 3 hours only to get rejected after queuing leh. My screen also got a bit yellowish, thought of using that to change for better battery. To me, battery most important liao lol.

[identity_1991]

Just found out that mine has a small speck of dust under the screen glass near the bottom edge... Will call apple and try and have it exchanged?

I too had the yellow screen problem plus dark patch on the top. Went down to singtel technical care side, inspected the replacement also have the same problem. And when i ask the guy whether is it refurbished set or brand new set, he told me that it's a brand new set. Anyway i obviously don't believe him because it came in a slim white packaging instead of the full white larger retail box. Fed up i sold my phone.

Refurbished set all like that one. I exchange twice the set open from the slim white new packing box also had tinted yellow. I also end up fed up I sold it away. I ordered again after Apple released the new stocks online. Heng this time totally no tinted yellow

Glad that i'm not alone, happened to me too..

My iPhone 6+ comes with a seal box and somehow the screen is yellow/warm light colour compare to my old Iphone 4 which has a crisp cool white screen. Not only there, the brightness is quite down.I have to set to 80% to get the normal brightness, and this is draining my battery fast.

Then I went to other Apple shore and did a comparison with the set out there, set max brightness on both phones and mine is still very dull and lose out. Even those are better than my so called 'new' set.. -__-

So went down to QCD at Wheelock, waited for 1 and half hour, and even talked to their Indian manager, he doesn't want to change for me, saying that its 'Customers Expectation' and Apple did QC when ship out products, so its normal for the yellow tint, all phones are like that. Not unless its device failure or other defects, otherwise cannot change. And ask me to call Apple Global Service Care if i insist need a replacement.

Feeling unsatisfied, I went down to A-Labs on the same day, queue again for another 1 and half hour and even fell asleep. The staff then compare my phone with her colleagues ip6+ and admit there's a difference, but still NO. Cant change because of just screen colour and low brightness.. Saying if I insist, I can call the global service support and get their approval then only comes back to them with email approval or reference number. Feeling hopeless and dulan..

End up going back with full disappointment and decided to sell off that one. Now getting a new one online and have to wait for 3 weeks for it to arrive.. Hopefully this round, it will be good..

Sigh, what happen to Apple quality these days?

The Indian manager said the same thing to me at QCD. Next time safeguard yourself by lodging a apple service report online before going down. I also sold my phone in the end and ordered a new one online. Satisfied though. Although this new set has a very very slight tinted yellow still but not obvious to my naked eye. Not as bad as the one I got and the replacement sets.

The QCD staff said if this one is like that, the rest also same cos same batch.

Good luck for your next attempt.

Just received my brand new iPhone 6 bought online from Apple. Pretty happy with the screen as it's quite uniform. It's like striking toto.

lol you met him too? Quite a stubborn fella there.
I just find that its unfair, we're paying so much for something that it's not what we're looking for. End up have to sell off with a lost and top up to get a new one.

He even talked to me about QC. Quality Control my ass, how come some people still get dead pixel in their phone ?

You got yours yesterday? Mine too iPhone 64gb space-grey. This was supposed to be a replacement for the 1st set which had yellow / black patch on the top. The new one was disappointing. Chip on the case at the mute button and also on the back. Screen was so so. Dark patch at the bottom left.

Seriously poor quality control.

Yea. He's quite a stubborn fella. But bobian the entire batch all like that. I'd rather not exchange for another one. Waste my time and effort. Sell off and buy new one. I managed to break even. All I lost was time.

I actually sold mine and got another new one. Lose about 280 dollars but at least I'm getting a brand new one and not a refurb.

The yellow tint even on the screen or just at certain spots? If it annoys you return it. However if it's even then it's fine as they have yellowish and bluish screen. My exchanged set has a bluish screen but text seems better on yellowish screen
