I was wondering if these issues had been resolved since then? For me, a frontlight more uniformly yellow in tone isn't a problem, but mine has a yellow band on the bottom half and pink blotches on the top half. Is it worth trading in for a replacement, or does the issue still stand? If I'm likely to get a similar result, then I won't bother.
Edit: Edited to clarify I'm talking about issues with the colour and evenness of the frontlight.

From what I gather it does look like the quality has generally improved, i.e. there’s a higher chance that a newly purchased device will have uniform lighting than the launch model, but it’s still hit and miss; personally I’m not sure I would go for a trade-in, as there’s still a chance to get an uneven screen. Then again you could always get a replacement.
