Customers who have purchased the iPhone 3G have noticed that the display seems to have a yellow-tint and have begun to lodge complaints.
Photos submitted to AppleInsider clearly show a visible difference between the cooler tones of the first generation iPhone and a slight yellow tint found in the new iPhone 3G.
Apple has said that both generations of the iPhone use the same exact display so this issue may possibly be fixed through a firmware update. In the meanwhile some users are trying to swap their phones for ones with a whiter display.

Maybe this yellow tint issue is related to the fact that the old iPhone had the LCD and glass parts of the screen glued together. As I understand it on the 3G one they are seperate, maybe this creates some sort of shadow which causes this yellow tint? Perhaps?
