Yes I've read that it's supposedly residue from the bonding agent and that it should go away after a few days. I've had the phone since Thursday and sometimes it seems like its faded significantly but other times it seems worse.
I've decided to give it a week and see if it goes away, after that I'll head to the genius bar.
Has anyone else with any yellowing issues had theirs disappear?
Question about
I've got a yellowish band near the bottom of my iPhone 4 screen like other people have reported.
so I've definitely narrowed this down to a heat issue. 80% of the time there is no yellow line to be seen on my screen, however, yesterday as I was driving around out in the sun with my iPhone sitting in the car, the yellow showed up just a little, has to be the heat right?
so I do another test, I leave my phone outside in the sun for about 15 minutes. I go check it (damn was it hot, probably not the best idea) and the yellow line is FREAKING HUGE, easily 10x thicker than I've ever seen it. It took about an hour of the phone sitting in room temperature for the yellow to fade away again.
Lastly, I plugged the phone in to charge from about 15% battery life and the phone got warm, which is typical when going from low battery, sure enough the yellow line slowly started to appear, and as the phone cooled down it slowly faded away.
Curious indeed, I still have hope in this bonding agent theory, I'm going to wait until sometime next month and try and forget about it, I'll look for the yellow spot again later and if its still there, I'll go to the genius bar again and attempt a replacement, hopefully the iPhone craziness will have died down by then. Another reason I'd like to wait is hoping that later batches will be less likely to have these issues.
Also the death grip issue was on the today show this morning and it was hilarious *sigh*
Anyone have any thoughts on why heat would make the yellow fade in more? Perhaps the space between the glass and the display ever so slightly shift with the change in temperature? My mind is boggled
