iPhone 4S Users Report Yellow Screen Issue.
The reports began trickling in over the weekend on Apple's discussion forums with some user 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 regards to new iPhones. Last year, many iPhone 4 users have returned their iPhones, claiming that their retina display were showing whites as yellow.
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.

Apple leaks clues to new MacBook Pros on its own website
Last week 9to5mac revealed that Apple's planning a MacBook Pro refresh with better CPU and improved Bluetooth Wireless networking.
When you do a search in Apple's online store for Macbook Pro, you will get a list of Apple's products. In the list, there are two mysterious entries for 'MacBook Pro Memory Models' and at the button with the caption 'Ships: Coming in November'.
If they are spare parts, these often ship a week or so after the new products so the new MacBook Pro lineup could come sooner than November!
iPhone 4S now only available in some stores by reservation
An Apple representative told MacRumors that supplies are beginning to disappear, and are pushing customers to the reserve page to ensure they get a device rather than leaving the store empty handed.
9to5mac received a clarification concerning the reservation process and walk-in availability from the Apple Store Daily Download. Each evening from 9PM to Midnight, iPhone 4S buyers can log on to reservation system via www.apple.com/retail/iphone.
The iPhone 4S will be available for walk-in as well. After 6PM all unclaimed reservations will be forfeited and available for walk-in customers.
Apple's Unibody MacBook enclosure manufacturer ordered to shut down over environmental concerns
According to 9to5mac , the partial shutdown of key Apple manufacturer Catcher Technology due to environmental concerns could lead to supply constraints for company's MacBook Pro and MacBook Air lineups.
Financial Times reports:
In an emergency announcement on Sunday night, Taiwan’s Catcher Technology (2474:TAI), one of the world’s biggest makers of metal casings for notebook PCs, said it had been ordered to close part of its plant in China’s Suzhou province by regulators, after local residents complained of bad odours generated by the plant.The Apple's current MacBook Pro and MacBook Air lineups is probably the main reason Catcher is one of the biggest maker of metal casings for computers. The company expects the shutdown to cut sales by a fifth in October and Catcher's president Allen Horng had this say at a press conference on Monday:
“Shipments to our customers will inevitably be affected. We already asked them to make adjustments to their (casings) procurement.”(via 9to5mac)
iPhone 4S in Space
These guys paid an eye-brow raising tribute to Steve Jobs in their own unique way, by launching two iPhone 4Ss into space by attaching them to a weather balloon. Yeah, I know, it’s an old trick, but the phones are new and do 1080P video. One of the phones had an interval photo timer app running while the other captured video. They explained:
We launched 2 iPhone 4S phones with a weather balloon to go up to 100,000. We put one of the iPhone 4S’s on an interval photo timer app and the other on video mode. We used s Spot GPS tracker (though I would not recommend it because it only tracks in 15 minutes increments.The result of their undertaking is impressive: Check out the included clip depicting Earth’s atmosphere in full HD quality. The weather balloon eventually deflated and the iPhones landed safely, courtesy of a parachute and OtterBox cases for the iPhone 4S. Yeah, I know it’s a paradox that the iPhone 4S can safely land unscratched from the outer space and yet won’t survive a waist high drop.
