Some iPhone 4S users complain of 'yellow screen'

If Microsoft's Windows has the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), is Apple's iPhone prone to a case of yellow screen? Many users of Apple's new iPhone 4S are reporting such problems with their screens, according to a report on PC Magazine. PC Mag said the reports started last weekend on Apple's discussion forums, with the claims ranging from the screen being "washed out" in terms of contrast clarity, or displaying a yellowish tint. "But what makes the latest claims odder still is that many of the reports indicate that the yellow tint is present mostly the black iPhone 4S, as opposed to the white model. Of course many consumers have reported no problems at all with their iPhone 4S displays, but the reports from the affected customers are piling up, so much so that some have even resorted to calling this 'yellowgate,'" PC Mag said. When the iPhone 4 launched last year, many users claimed their retina displays were showing whites as yellow. This prompted many buyers to go to their local Apple store and seek a replacement. After antennagate PC Mag noted "yellowgate" may follow last year's "antennagate," where a "death grip" on the iPhone 4 would result in a loss of signal and a dropped call. At the time, Apple initially the claims about the then new antenna, but eventually addressed the issue after consumers filed numerous reports. "In this case, a widespread fix might not be so easy," PC Mag said. — ELR, GMA News
