Neither have you experienced it. Your glue guess is a wild ass myth. Unless you dissected a phone and examined the chemical composition of the supposed glue layer? No?
Then move along.
Can we stop arguing about this petty glue issue/theory and move on? It's seriously getting stupid and so worthless. Focus on the main issue here which is to facilitate and help the users in getting perfect or at least close to perfect phones because we've all paid a hefty price for it.

Does it shift blue by tilting slightly? And is the neutral white actually white or a bit on the warmer side?
Not agreeing with anyone. Just stating the fact that we should behave like mature adults and move on and focus on the REAL issue instead of hypothesizing or arguing over something which is so useless.
3 units iPhone xs max 512gb with all different problems each one comes with a issue like glue between the band and screen.
Yellow screen issue or signal issues and scratch issues even worst dents on the charging ports.
unit one week 34 build issue was signal issue,yellow screen issue and glue between the band.
unit two week 39 build issue was large gap between the screen and scratch on the screen/dent on charger port. NO yellow screen.
unit three week 38 build issue sharp and rough edges on the screen side and a terrible yellow screen issue again.
Will update the fouth unit next Monday.

There is always something with the new iPhone. Fortunately, this time my screen is perfect on the Xs, but battery health already dropped to 99% in freaking 2 weeks of use.
Not boding too well in me wanting to order a replacement unit from the posts I'm seeing here. Was kinda hoping this would start to taper off a little bit.
You're assuming everyone on here is a mature adult.....

Actually I experienced it on a number of devices. Primarily iPads, where half the screen had a yellow tint which subsided when I left the screen on a white screen, full brightness, wrapped in a towel for 24 hours.
Even if it really went away, which it didn't, it doesn't mean its "Glue". See my point? you don't know. You are making it up as you go along.
Of course, my mistake, I believe some kid on the internet rather than my own eyes. The big wide world is gonna be a shock for you I can tell.
It takes more than a slight tilt. Par for the course for OLED phones. It isn't piss yellow and there's no warm-ish stain when viewing head-on that goes away at a slight angle like my original phone had. What I consider to be normal could be considered warm by others. I use a colorimeter to calibrate my TVs and monitors and feel I have a good eye as to what white should look like, and this phone is white.
I’m noticing the same thing but I think it has something to do with True Tone. I have the Max and I came from the 8 plus and the screen seems more yellow. Like others have said If I turn it even slightly it’s blue again.
However If I turn True Tone off it goes back to blue.

Lol still not getting it huh, kiddo?
Weather or not the yellow went away is irrelevant. if it did, did not, doesn't matter.
What matters is that you are assuming the yellow substance, whatever it is, is GLUE.
You have zero knowledge of what material it is or isn't.
Zero.
Oh I get it now son.... basically, your argument is “you’re naming it wrong”. Just being pedantic because we use the term “glue” instead of “optical bonding adhesive” or something similar. Sorry I missed it, I’m too used to constructive adult conversation where people actually have a real point.

That isn’t glue...
It's not the yellow that's killing me, it's the color shift that seems extreme. I had an XS originally and it was a good display with minimal color shift. I decided I wanted the Max instead for video. Problem is, both Max's I've had (I'm on the 2nd) has insane color shift. I'm talking about tilting just a few degrees turns the bottom from normal warm white to a brighter yellow almost green, with the top going more pink. There's no angle where the whole screen is actually the same color, and it's insane how the tone of white is changing with the slightest angle. Don't get me wrong, it's not as if a few degrees turns it overwhelmingly yellow or pink, but you can see the tone of white take completely different colors with the slightest movement.
Yes, I know OLED's have some level of shift, but so far this is more annoying than even my pixel 2...

I went in 3 different stores today and looked at 10+ iPhone XS models. After viewing them for almost 2 hours every single one of them looked exactly the same (one might have been EVER so slightly more cooler...almost unnoticeable unless you are trying to look for it). Most were F2 serials and one was FK and another was G2 I think. All of them had a shift to blue when viewed at an angle. Head-on view compared to angle view there was obviously a noticeable difference that head-on was a warmer calibration. With TT on there was a slight yellow but with TT off it looked more natural but def warmer than previous iPhones. I compared the XS to the X models. The X was slightly cooler. I then compared it to the LCD model iPhone 8 which was noticeable cooler than the XS models.
My conclusion. There obviously were some phones out there that were far more "yellow" than others because of manufacturer tolerances. However, the XS models have switched to a warmer calibration. So regardless your phone will have a slightly "yellow" warmer calibration to it when compared to previous models. The Apple Tech I talked to said it will make whites seem cream colored if you are still use to viewing a cooler screened iPhone...of course I didnt believe them but from all my research it seems they are indeed a warmer calibration now than previous models. I highly doubt anyone has an XS model that matches calibration of an LCD panel iPhone.
TLDR:
iPhone XS & XS MAX (OLED Panel) = Warmer calibration...should be slightly more "yellow" when compared to prev models
iPhone X (OLED Panel) = Slightly cooler than XS models...for the most part the same
iPhone 8 (LCD Panel) = *Noticeably* more cooler screen than XS models...
