If the white ABS starts to yellow, it cannot be stopped.
Heat and sunlight are the main culprits.
I think whitening of the ABS is possible, but requires immersion in a chemical cleaning liquid like hydrogen peroxide.
It will be interesting to follow any further reports of yellowing over the next few months and if it appears commonplace, then I'd expect all Phantoms to go yellow eventually.
If some are showing signs of it already, then the yellowing process may take place fairly quickly over the first couple of years.
