So, then theres no such thing as applicable warranty for sets from the SG / US ?

I saw a few sellers in the garage sales selling claiming they have SG/ US sets with warranty claimable in malaysia smile.gif

no such a thing for iPhone,

3 weeks ago I purchased from a seller bought it from singapore, well unfortunately my iphone has a major problem with a screen tint,
I had to go all the way back to sg just to get the phone replaced, hassle process, and tiring, just get a local set if possible.

PS: remind u guys please check carefully if everything's okay on the spot when u buy ur iphone esp the screen, maybe u guys haven't heard of the major issues expect for the battery life, the yellow screen tint, Apple covers the problem from major news. compare side by side with your ip4 u will definitely see a different of contrast, it seems to be over rushed for production due to high demand and thousands of faulty reported.

Hi fellas, would just like to share a bit on the yellowgate issue. Seems there are 3 kinds of screen colour tones so far reported for the iPhone 4S. Please do not remind me that 2 of those are iPhone 4 and only one is a 4S. Its not easy to assemble 3 iPhone 4S with differing screen tints like this together =.= But they did a poll on Macrumors (took this pic from there) on which colour tones of 4S screens did they get and there has been owners for all kinds with the yellowest of tints the highest. Here is a picture for reference of the different kinds of tints. Seems its a common so-called "issue" which was caused by Apple engaging more than 2 screen manufacturers to satisfy the demand for units. 2 that I know of are LG and Samsung.

Right and middle ones are acceptable but NOT the one to the right.

To me the middle one (just my personal preference though) looks the nicest with the left slightly more bluish than normal and the one to the right...piss yellow....

So guys, recommended to unseal and make sure you check your screens when you get your phone. (On full brightness and off auto brightness).

I've got my second attempts to replace the phone, still yellow! Btw, seems like the problem existence, and the chances of getting the yellowish screen is pretty high, some people have even replaced for 4 to 5 times still remain the issue..just for sharing

Btw one method to make the glue dry faster, on the iPhone at full brightness and put auto lock to "Never" and leave it on for as long as you like while connected charging. This will speed up the glue drying process.

No such thing as glue under the screen la bro..that's a defect! U keep the phone 1 month also the same, just u won't feel much because ur eyes already use to it,

Potonng Stim man! I asked the i4S users in this forum in V2 and V3 and they said there was nothing wrong with theirs. Hope this is just a problem with the earlier batches. Guess there's some good in getting it late

U tell them put on side by side the ip4 and 4s, u definitely can see the difference! Just my own experience and the complaints all over the web,
Btw this is my second ip4s

besides the yellow tint what else shall we be alert when we get the new ip4s?

Battery drains faster than the 4, speakers don't feel right, but I can't tell, the worst is the screen! If u want to get the perfect is seldom base on luck, well I'd suggest see what people get for the launch day and only decide, hehehe

Hmm really that bad? probably you can try post a pic? Of full brightness on with auto brightness off. Then open a blank web page. Compare with mine.

Added on December 13, 2011, 10:22 pm

Yes mine is also like the middle if not slightly clearer. My iPhone 4 is more to the left side.

No point of saying anything over this space, better is to check yourself on the launch day, their demo set and check your phone b4 payment! That's the widest choice

Maybe you should return it and get a new one. I only charge my phone every 1.5-2 days. I play games (non-3d ones), facebook, whatsapp, web browsing and calls and SMS. There's either a problem with your phone battery or 3G is the issue. I turn my cellular data off most of the time. What iOS are you on? 5 or 5.0.1?

Of course without turning on 3G can save a lot of battery
