Discoloration On iPhone 4 Retina Display
Earlier in the day, reports revealed that the iPhone 4 glass back (and presumably the front) were receiving scratches after only a few days of use. But it now seems that it is not only scratches plaguing the iPhone 4, but display issues as well!
It seems that a number of users in various iPhone discussion forums around the web, including Apple’s own discussions boards, have discovered that their iPhone 4 device is discoloring with a light brown or yellow haze. This is rather unfortunate considering the high praise that Apple gave to their all new “Retina display”.

Unfortunately, there is not much users can do at this point but visit their local Apple Store and let the Genius Bar take a look. The only problem is that there are no iPhone 4 units available for replacements yet since the device is so new! And then there are the iPhone 4 shortages being reported, which could make it even longer before replacement units are available.
Now like any new product, it is bound to have little hiccups. It is too early to tell how prevalent the issue is, since only a handful of individuals have received their iPhone 4 before the devices official launch day on June 24, 2010. However, as the week progresses and more people get their hands on the iPhone 4, we will be able to see how wide spread the issue is.

These bugs better stop pilling up soon…
that's the common problem with apple's first production cycle products.
I got the iPhone 3g when it just released.
First phone had out of focus problem. Second replaced phone was discoloring with light gray on middle of the screen. My 3rd phone has issue with Wi-Fi.
I think I better wait for iPhone 4 until the hardware is more stabilized.
That's the advantage of not receiving the iPhone on the first week of launching, we will have a good deal of time until we get it in Canada and we will be able to know before hand the issues and hopefully by then the issues will have an answer.
Issues like this will always show up for bleeding-edge users… it's the same reason I didn't upgrade my 3G to iOS 4: I've read more than a few people have seen their phone slow down to a crawl.
Let the first set of owners find and report the problems. Eventually we'll benefit from the 'late' release in Canada 🙂
