Got my iPhone 4S, but...

Simon · Oct 27, 2011, 15:57:53

It does in that picture, but I'm using another camera phone to take them, so it probably doesn't do it justice. Also, the brightness is up full on both, which probably makes the white bloom.

Rik · Oct 27, 2011, 16:00:10

Or the pink, in the case of the 3GS.

Any idea what profile the camera is using?

Simon · Oct 27, 2011, 16:02:35

Nope.

Rik · Oct 27, 2011, 16:12:31

Just looked, there's no embedded profile, so every system will display the image differently.

Simon · Oct 27, 2011, 16:36:27

I'll give it till tomorrow - problem being, the absolute law of Sod will apply. If I take it into the shop, it will look fine, until I bring it home again. Either way, it's not right, and blues shouldn't look green, but, otoh, the picture on the box shows the OS graphics looking much greener than they did before.

I have to ask; what on earth is a 'genius appointment' and do I qualify?

At least they will have a row of 4S and possibly earlier current models so you can compare the screens under the same lighting conditions.

Rik · Oct 27, 2011, 16:43:31

Maybe take your 3GS along for comparison?

Simon · Oct 27, 2011, 16:43:58

Yours is most definitely the preferable look, Steve. I think I'll keep the appointment with my designated genius anyway, and see if they will compare other 4Ss against mine. Even if the OS is slightly more green, the forum should display as it's supposed to, and it isn't at the moment.

What if they will swap mine for another? Will they be able to wipe the data from mine in the shop? I wouldn't want to leave a phone with my stuff on it knocking about, in case it gets passed on to someone else.

I will.

Rik · Oct 27, 2011, 16:45:37

I would think they ought to be able to do a factory reset in front of you. It may be worth taking along the box, charger etc.

Simon · Oct 27, 2011, 16:46:24

Yes, and I'll back it up tonight, so I can restore to a new one, if that's the case.

Rik · Oct 27, 2011, 16:47:25

Good thinking. Would it be worth printing out the screen shot from Steve's phone to show them a comparison?

No, because my printer also (and still!) has a problem printing blues, which look green, but I don't think there's a connection. I was hoping Steve would lend me his phone for the day.

As I understand it the only way to guarantee to get a new one is via an Apple Retail Store, ideally a different batch, sadly they've changed the method of serial no's, before I could tell the week of manufacture.

That is, assuming they have them in stock.

True

Steve · Oct 27, 2011, 17:54:18

I going to muddy the water with this poor photo, yes there is difference in the blue,but I imo it's subtle -both phones same brightness level auto off

Rik · Oct 27, 2011, 18:18:52

The one on the right looks warmer to me, Steve.

Steve · Oct 27, 2011, 18:23:29

That's the 3GS on the right

Niall · Oct 27, 2011, 19:06:54

Looking at that image I'd say the one on the right looks like a faded monitor image, and the one on the left looks yellow at the top but otherwise nice and crisp.

Simon · Oct 27, 2011, 19:54:13

I haven't worked out what auto brightness is supposed to do, as you can still adjust the brightness when auto is on, and it doesn't seem to make much difference, on or off.

Steve · Oct 27, 2011, 20:16:26

As I understand it you set the level of brightness you like and then with auto enabled it should maintain a similar level as the ambient light changes.
