iPad 2 Yellow Screen Tinting Likely to Go Away Like iPhone 4?
iPhone 4 discoloration
A few readers have noticed a yellow tinting on their brand new iPad 2 screens. The color changes are reminiscent of a similar issue that appeared on early iPhone 4 shipments. At the time the issue was described as follows:
Apple is using a bonding agent called Organofunctional Silane Z-6011 to bond the layers of glass. Apparently, Apple (or more likely Foxconn) is shipping these products so quickly that the evaporation process is not complete. However, after one or two days of use, especially with the screen on, will complete the evaporation process and the yellow "blotches" will disappear.
The issue seemed to resolve itself over a couple of days for the iPhone 4 based on reader experiences. With any brand new launch, Apple seems to be shipping the units as quickly as they are manufacturing them, preventing the required time for the bonding agent to set. We'll know for sure in a few days.Top Rated Comments

It can't be glue because the iPad 2's screen is not fused to the glass (hence no glue needed)
One of the things I like about my iPhone 4 display, besides the Retina resolution, is how close the display seems to the glass. It really feels like you're touching the icons/buttons/photos.
It's one of those hard-to-describe things that took me awhile to recognize (after using my iPhone 3G for a bit), but is a hallmark of quality Apple design :D :apple: Like fine stitching or the lining of a coat.

I'm gonna be so pissed if mine has this. I had it on my iPhone 4 and it didn't go away after a month so I got a replacement.

It'll go away if it is indeed the glue issue.
This is not always the case, in fact its the minority in Apple yellow screen cases.
If your entire screen has a yellow tint to it, it's not a warm-toned screen, it isn't glue, it is a defect and you need a new iProduct.
If theres a few small blotches, yeah probably glue. But most users who have yellow screens have defective screens, yet everyone wants to jump to say it's glue.

Yeah i have some bleeding at the bottom/side (depending on orientation) on mine .
Pushing on the screen can make it worse which made me think the screen is pinched where the bleed is coming through so i have my screen to never sleep and ill leave it plugged in overnight to see if it disappears.
After a couple days if it's still there i will just exchange it but for now i will show some patience and see what comes of it .

Waited for my iPad 2 for 4 hrs and its awesome. The cameras are not as great as I expected but good (they looked better in the apple store). But over all very pleased.
