Despite posting the best numbers for an iPhone launch ever (4 million in the first week), the iPhone 4S isn't out of the woods yet, as some users are reporting screen quality issues.

The reports began trickling in over the weekend on Apple's discussion forums with some users claiming that their screen was either "washed out" in terms of contrast clarity, or displaying a yellowish tint. Interestingly, this isn't the first time such claims have been made with regards to new iPhones. Last year when the iPhone 4 launched many users claimed that their retina displays were showing whites as yellow, prompting many to return to their local Apple store for a replacement.

But what makes the latest claims odder still is that many of the reports indicate that the yellow tint is present mostly the black iPhone 4S, as opposed to the white model. Of course many consumers have reported no problems at all with their iPhone 4S displays, but the reports from the affected customers are piling up, so much so that some have even resorted to calling this "yellowgate."

For those familiar with Apple history, that nickname may call to mind the "antennagate" moniker attached to the launch of the iPhone 4. Initially, Apple resisted the claims about the new, innovatively crafted antenna. But after numerous reports were filed by both consumers and media alike, Steve Jobs finally relented and held a special press conference to address the issue as well as offer special cases to remedy the matter. In this case, a widespread fix might not be so easy.

So far Apple hasn't made an official statement regarding the screen reports, but those affected haven't reported any problems when attempting to return their phones for a replacement unit. You can review the comments related to the screen issue on Apple's user forums here.

One cool thing if I get the iphone.

It has a program built into it called 'facetime'. It's essentially a video phone feature set up to be easy between other iphone users.

I have not used it yet - most of my friends don't have iphones :(

You need to be on a WiFi to facetime chat - which is good since you don't get charged minutes for the call

I have the same type of thing on my Android phone, I have used it a total of zero times. It's fairly useless. If I want to see someone's face while I talk to them, I'll go see them.

No, but it will eat into your data usage depending on your plan.

If you had it prior to July, then you got grandfathered in. But, the new "unlimited" is capped.

People like to tether their phone, instead of paying for a second device to connect to the internet, then download movies and shit. Thats where you would hit your max.

I think my 'unlimited' plan gives me 5 gigs before it becomes deemed excessive usage and they slow down the speeds

The Pandora app requests full access to your phone's contact list. That's the kind of underhanded shit I hate.

Both the Android and iPhone versions of Pandora, a popular music app, sent age, gender, location and phone identifiers to various ad networks. iPhone and Android versions of a game called Paper Toss—players try to throw paper wads into a trash can—each sent the phone's ID number to at least five ad companies. Grindr, an iPhone app for meeting gay men, sent gender, location and phone ID to three ad companies.
