iPhone 6 yellow. What to do if the iPhone screen turns yellow? Warm screen at night

  • 06.03.2023

Some owners of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus had a problem that their smartphones began to have a slightly yellow screen compared to the screens of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. Don't worry too much about this, it's not a factory defect. This problem is treated with simple settings in iOS. But this case reminded me of one way to customize the display on the iPhone and iPad.

To do this, go to "Settings" - "General" - "Universal access" - "Display adaptation". There in the menu we find such an item as "Light filters". We need to open it, where we need to find the "Hue" item. After that, you can adjust the intensity of white and shades of yellow.

Due to the fact that everyone is more comfortable using a smartphone or tablet with a certain range of colors, in this way you can customize the display for yourself. First of all, this function was conceived for people with disabilities, in a short time it gained popularity among other users.

Regarding the yellow screen on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which I spoke about at the beginning of the article, it is removed using this method of changing shades and intensity.

Having become the proud owner of the next, eighth, novelty from apple, you may encounter the fact that the iphone 8 screen turns yellow. This is not a problem that you should panic about, you can use a smartphone, but still it can cause some inconvenience. In fact, a yellow screen is not always a breakdown or a sign of poor build quality.

Your iPhone 8 has a yellow screen: possible causes

  1. Installation of unlicensed firmware or updates that causes damage to the software;
  2. Activation of the night mode function (Night Shift);
  3. Mechanical damage to the display module;
  4. Malfunction of the microcircuit that controls the operation of the display module (screen), which is caused by a corrosive formation that appeared as a result of moisture getting inside the smartphone;
  5. Rupture of the loop responsible for the smooth functioning of the printed circuit board;
  6. Broken contact between cable and connector.

The first two reasons can be easily eliminated at home on your own.

In the first case, the smartphone must be formatted. Next, you need to carry out the manipulation of a deep reboot. As a result, the old tasks will be reset, and the tasks of applications and programs installed again will be carried out in the normal mode. Deep / hard reboot - for 10 seconds, hold down the "Power" button and the "Home" button at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen. It should be noted that this manipulation is an extreme measure, you can not resort to it too often.

The second most common reason why the iphone 8 screen periodically turns yellow is the Night Shift mode. The manufacturer carefully "pumped" his offspring with such an innovation in the name of the convenience of its users and in order to prepare them for bed. In fact, this is the usual switching of colors to warmer tones. Initially, only computers with the iOS 9.3 operating system (released in 2015) were equipped with this feature. Subsequently, the Apple concern conducted a lot of research before this mode appeared in smartphones. In accordance with the automated settings, Night Shift is activated on its own, you can change these settings (time, color temperature, etc.) in the control panel. In addition, the function can be disabled completely. You should also pay attention to the settings of light filters, you can adapt the display in accordance with your preferences in the "Universal Access" section of the same name, paying attention to the "Light filters" item. The trend is that this feature is a priority for people with disabilities, but setting comfortable display tones will not hurt people who often use a smartphone, as this can help maintain visual acuity.

No matter how strange it may sound, however, if you purchase an iphone that left the assembly line not long before the purchase, you may also encounter yellow spots appearing on the screen. This indicates that the adhesive that holds the display module to the body of the smartphone itself has not yet dried. You just need to wait, if the problem is not solved, then you need to consider other possible causes.

If the user had to face the problem of the yellow screen after a long period of operation, and the recommendations in the first two options were not successful, it is necessary to conduct a thorough diagnosis of the “insides” for the presence of the remaining four causes of this malfunction. Since iPhones require careful handling and considerable experience during repairs, as well as a set of specialized tools, it is best to contact a service center. If the breakdown is classified as serious, for example, it requires the replacement of cables, microcircuits or a display module, a repair guarantee will not be superfluous at all.

I wholeheartedly welcome everyone! It would seem that any strong deviation from the norm (and yellow spots and stripes on the iPhone screen is a very abnormal situation) should definitely be interpreted as a marriage, a manufacturing defect, a flaw and sloppiness of engineers ... call it what you want! However, this is true only in some cases. Why?

Because here a lot depends on when exactly these defects appeared on the display. After all, these are two big differences - a device with yellowness on the screen was sold to you, or it (yellowness) appeared after some time during operation. Today we will analyze both of these cases, and also find out whether you need to immediately run to the store and demand a refund for the device, or ... or maybe everything is not so simple?

One two Three. Let's go!

Why are there yellow spots and stripes on the display of the new iPhone?

There are two simple truths to remember here:

  1. Yellow Spot Defect almost always shows up on newer (just released) iPhone models. This is especially visible on a white background - for example, in the Safari browser.
  2. Yellow spots are glue. Well, to be more precise, it's not really glue, but a special substance for holding the display together.

Now a little more about this. Look, the production of a new iPhone model starts shortly after its presentation and it appears on sale almost immediately (usually a week or two) after the announcement. Therefore, the first happy owners of the iPhone get it completely fresh. In fact, he just came off the assembly line and here he is in your hands.

During this short period of time (delivery from the factory to the consumer), the glue that is used to assemble the iPhone simply does not have time to dry and evaporate. And these yellow spots on the screen - this is this dry glue.

What to do in this case? Here you have two options:

  1. After a while, the glue dries completely and becomes transparent. This is supported by the fact that if you buy an iPhone some time after the presentations, then the device has time to “lie down” and upon purchase you no longer see yellow spots and stripes. The glue dries while the gadget is not active in the warehouse / store.
  2. If the yellow spots are very strong and you do not believe that they will disappear over time, you can safely contact the service center. This is a warranty case and similar gadgets are changed. True, it’s not a fact that they won’t give you exactly the same replacement - just assembled and again with a defective display.

It is important to understand that everything that is written here refers to minor manifestations of yellowness. If the marriage is clearly and strongly pronounced, then there is no point in waiting until it disappears, you need to go and change the gadget under warranty.

The most interesting thing is that a similar defect appears in absolutely any newly released iPhone. Somewhere more, somewhere less noticeable, but it will definitely be. It’s just that most people don’t look closely at such trifles when buying, and then it disappears.

What if yellow spots appeared during the operation of the iPhone?

Unfortunately, it happens that yellowness appears on the display after a long time of using the iPhone, the reason for this may be:

  • Moisture ingress.
  • device (glue "burns" and becomes yellowish, and not completely transparent).
  • Strong pressing on the screen (very strong), as well as any other physical impacts - falls, blows, etc.
  • Perhaps it is in this place (where yellowness appears) that something inside the device presses on the screen (dust, mote, grains of sand, dirt clogged and presses) or the battery is a little “swollen”.

Of course, in these cases, it is not worth waiting for a miracle (that everything will be fixed by itself). Repair needed. But what exactly to repair depends on the causes of the appearance of yellow spots.

By the way, if the gadget is still under warranty, then you should try to contact the official service center and go into the “unconscious” :) - I didn’t do anything, spots and stripes appeared on their own! If there is no visible damage, then it is likely that the iPhone will be replaced for you.

So all the same, the yellowness of the iPhone screen is a marriage or not?

If we consider the yellow spots in the context of the first case, then yes, definitely a marriage and such devices are changed in service centers and stores.

Another thing is that by the time you get to the repair shop, the glue may dry out and there will no longer be any yellowness on the display.

If you look at the appearance of yellow spots immediately after prolonged use, then as a rule, the user himself, who carelessly handles the device, is to blame here. And in most cases, repairs will need to be carried out at your own expense.
