Then there’s the thing with the volume control. “Although it isn’t going to change your life, it looks like a few iPhone 4s are coming off the assembly line with reversed volume buttons,” Apple news blog 9to5Mac reported Friday morning. One reader reported that the button with the “—” icon increased volume, while the button with the ‘+’ icon reduced it.
This yellow discoloration is thought to be related to an adhesive used in affixing components underneath the screen. There is some hope that the off-color will fade as the bonding material cures. One MacRumors forum member wrote that his “major yellow spots” had faded by the second day. “Keep an eye on it over the next day or so if you have the issue,” he suggested.
The other screen issue seen in photos is a constellation of bright white spots, appearing in different patterns that persist regardless of the picture on the screen.
