Are there any changes made to the manifacturing process of the Xperia S, so the sceen won't develop this yellow tint?
I'm afraid this problem's gonna be like the hairline crack on the Xperia Arc (S) case, where Sony is still replacing the front cover with the same defective one that carcks again after a few months. It's good that both of the issues (the crack on the Arc and the yellow tint on the Xperia S) are fixed under warranty, but there's no point in doing so when the acual cause for the problem is still present
I just found that:

According to a CNET UK report, Sony's Xperia S phone has a serious issue with heat that can turn the handset's screen yellow if it gets too hot. In a statement issued to CNET UK, Sony confirmed that it knows about the issue, but also said that the problem only affects a small number of Xperia S handsets.
"Sony Mobile Communications has identified that the display on a limited number of Xperia S smartphones may show a slight yellow tint if exposed to temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius."
Sony also confirmed that it has changed the manufacturing process for the phone to avoid having this issue occur on any more handsets. Those consumers who have had this issue can take solace in the fact that Sony Mobile will "resolve this at no cost to the consumer."
In case you didn't know, the Xperia S is an Android-based phone that can also play some PlayStation games.

Could we get a confirmation on this particular quote:
“Sony also confirmed that it has changed the manufacturing process for the phone to avoid having this issue occur on any more handsets.“ ?
I currently own a Xperia Arc S and there's no way I could think of buying the Xperia S without knowing Sony really changed the manifacturing process, so this yellow tint won't occur...
