It was released almost two weeks ago, and during this time users have discovered many problems with it. Not all of them are significant, but there are some that Apple will still need to fix in the next system update.

Considering the popularity and millions iPhone sales X, no wonder every little problem related to a smartphone is reported in the media.

If you managed to buy an iPhone X and encountered one of the problems, there is no need to be upset. Most likely, it is easy to solve. In this article we will look at the most common iPhone problems X and tell you how to solve them.

Greens stripes on display

Several users from all over globe complain that the beautiful 5.8-inch Super Retina Strange green lines appeared on the HD screens of their devices. The problem is in the OLED panel itself, so updating it will not solve it. If you encounter this problem, contact your nearest service center and change your phone to a new one.

The screen does not respond to touch in cold weather

Many iPhone X owners write that the screen stops responding to their touches on the street for a couple of seconds. The problem is common among users living in cold climates and is associated with sudden temperature changes.

Apple is already aware of the problem and is working on a solution in the next iOS update.

Problems With activation

In the first week after iPhone release X many people complained about various problems and errors related to device activation. The reason was huge pressure on Apple servers due to too many people around the world trying to activate their new smartphones at the same time. The problem is now resolved. If you still can't activate your iPhone X, contact our service Apple support or with your operator.

Not works

Several iPhone owners X periodically Face ID suddenly stops working. As many drop tests have shown, the Face ID module is very fragile and may stop working if dropped from a small height. So your iPhone X may not be physically damaged by a fall, but its functionality may be affected.

Yellowish shade screen

Some users are reporting that their iPhone X screens have a yellowish tint. This warm display tone annoys owners of new smartphones, and many blame it on the OLED panel.

As it turns out, the reason for this is the function True Tone, which first appeared on the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. When it is turned on, the smartphone display automatically changes the temperature depending on the lighting. This helps reduce eye strain and improve readability. If you don't like the yellow tint either, you can always

Let's say you were quietly using your iPhone and did not touch anyone, when suddenly the screen became yellow color and you don't know why this happened.

There is no need to worry, because this is one of the useful functions, which almost every modern iPhone has. Now I’ll tell you in more detail.

What to do if there is a yellow screen on your iPhone?

This function is called Night Shift. It is designed to prepare the owner of the gadget for bed by simply switching the color scheme to warmer tones.

First this mode appeared in iOS 9.3. Apple did a lot of research before adding this feature to smartphones.

I'm certainly not a scientist, but I can briefly describe the meaning. When we use the phone in normal mode, then everything is quite bright and whiter.

This tells our body that sleep is still far away and we need to be cheerful. But closer to the evening, so that your body is not in the same invigorating state, Night Shift is turned on ( yellow screen).

This way, you will be able to fall asleep much faster. But to be honest, you need to try. Overall, everything sounds pretty good.

How to activate/remove Night Shift mode on iPhone?

If you want to try this function or vice versa, turn it off as soon as possible, then everything can be organized on your iPhone in literally a matter of seconds.

Option one. Using Control Center:

open Control Panel;
press the long button Night Shift.

There is an option in the mode where you can configure automatic switching on and shutdown. There are other points in setting up, which we will talk about now.

Second way. Standard method settings:

let's go to Settings- looking for an item Screen and brightness;
select the line where the function name is written Night Shift;

if necessary, there is Color temperature , where you can choose a more suitable color.

In general, there are inscriptions and explanations everywhere, so there should definitely not be any big difficulties. You can figure it out in just a couple of minutes.

Results

That's essentially all necessary information, which you need to know about the yellow screen on your favorite iPhone. How useful the function is is up to you to decide.

I tried using it for a while and I don’t even know, I didn’t seem to feel much of a difference. Perhaps the thing is very individual.

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

Because here a lot depends on exactly when 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 look at 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... maybe it’s not so simple?

One two Three. Let's go!

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

Here you need to remember two simple truths:

Defect yellow spots It almost always appears on new (just released) iPhone models. This is especially visible on a white background - for example, in the Safari browser.
The yellow spots are glue. Well, to be more precise, it’s not exactly glue, but a special substance for holding the display together.

Now a little more about this. Look, production of the new iPhone model starts shortly after its presentation and it goes on sale almost immediately (usually a week or two) after the announcement. Therefore, the first lucky owners of an iPhone receive it completely fresh. In fact, it just came off the assembly line and now it’s 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 are this undried glue.

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

After some time, the glue dries completely and becomes transparent. This is supported by the fact that if you buy an iPhone some time after the presentations, the device has time to “rest” and upon purchase you no longer see yellow spots and stripes. The glue dries while the gadget is inactive in the warehouse/store.
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 replaced. True, it’s not a fact that you won’t be given exactly the same one as a replacement - just assembled and again with a display defect.

It is important to understand that everything written here refers to minor manifestations of yellowness. If the defect is obvious and strongly expressed, 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 there. It’s just that most people don’t look closely at such little things when buying, and then it disappears.

What to do if yellow spots appear while using the iPhone?

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

Moisture ingress.
devices (the glue “burns” and becomes yellowish rather than completely transparent).
Pressing the screen hard (very hard), and this also includes any other physical influences- falls, blows, etc.
Perhaps it is in this place (where the yellowness appears) that something from inside the device is pressing on the screen (dust, specks, grains of sand, dirt is clogged and pressing) or the battery is a little “swollen”.

Of course, in these cases you shouldn’t wait for a miracle (that everything will improve on its own). Needs renovation. But what exactly to repair depends on the reasons for the appearance of yellow spots.

By the way, if the gadget is still under warranty, then it’s worth trying to contact the official service center and go “ignorant” :) - I didn’t do anything, spots and stripes appeared on their own! If there is no visible damage, then there is a high probability that your iPhone will be replaced.

So is the yellowness of the iPhone screen a defect or not?

If we consider the yellow spots in the context of the first case, then yes, it is definitely a defect and such devices are replaced as soon as possible. service centers and shops.

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 long-term use, then, as a rule, the user himself is to blame for carelessly handling the device. And in most cases, repairs will need to be carried out at your own expense.

P.S. Have questions? Put "likes" and click on the buttons social networks and write in the comments! No, of course I will answer without any “likes”, but it’s somehow more pleasant with them :)

One of the most frequent and popular queries in the vast expanses of the Internet, which directly concern and is: “why does the screen appear yellow and how can I fix this “problem”?” Indeed, when compared with others Apple smartphones, the seven is equipped with a yellowish display instead of the white one we are already familiar with.

Many people believe that the yellowness of the screen is due to a defect in the made by Apple, but this is not at all true. One of the new features of iOS 10 on iPhone is the ability to change color range. Until recently, a yellow display in any generation of iPhone was considered a manufacturing defect, and this problem was a serious reason why the company replaced smartphones under warranty.

In rare iPhone cases 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have a yellow screen because there is glue on the front panel that is not completely dry. If you are faced with this exact situation, then you need to wait a few days. As it turned out, in 2010, when the company launched iPhone release 4, the first buyers of these smartphones noticed changes in the color gamut of the display, which was already saturated with warmer tones. Over time, the shade simply disappeared due to the complete drying of the glue layer. If the screen continues to turn yellow, try changing the color by following the instructions as above.

If this method does not work, and the light filters do not correct the yellowish tint of your phone’s screen, then we recommend that you visit an official Apple representative who will fix this problem.

This happens extremely rarely, so try to adjust the display of colors on your smartphone yourself.
