iPhone 11 iPhone 11 notch shadow?

What about when look at it from an angle slightly? Corners especially. I can slight shift to the right of the red pins of the posts.

I see no shadows.

Here are some photos of my phone.

yes there is a shadow, is the LCD that can´t bend when it meets the borders.

Mine looks like this which makes the notch edge look soft. My friend does not have shadow and notch edge looks pin sharp.

Screen lottery.

I have this shadow on my first 11, nothing on the second.

that’s one way to put it. Compared to my wife’s xr my 11 I slightly soft in corners but that goes away when I turn off True Tone. So weird.

Keeping or exchanging?

I have a bit of shadow on the edges but I think you are chasing a unicorn if you want, no shadow, uniformity, non-yellow, no chips, no dust in camera lenses etc etc.

Not having a go by any means but you will drive yourself mad and in a few months you will be putting it in your pocket and not caring anyway, it will become just a phone again.

This is an effect that happens on any LCD screen with slim edges/bezels. The LCD screen is made of a stack of layers. The actual image is formed near the top, but the light comes from a backlight diffuser film a distance behind.

Traditionally, the backlight diffuser was extended beyond the edge of the image. To minimize bezels/non-image area, they trimmed this overhang. As a result, when you look at the screen from an angle, you can more easily see past the edge of the diffuser.

This picture shows the effect on a slim bezel desktop monitor. The two are identical models, but the one on the left is viewed at an angle, where the one on the right is nearly straight on.

You can also point this inherent limitation out to those who scream for a bezel-less laptop or iMac screen.

I like monitors with bezels. They seem more friendly to use. Monitors with bezels look like paintings, and paintings are better when they are housed inside nice frame.

Thank you for the reality check. I needed to hear that.

I can ignore the shadow to be honest as I ignore the notch generally. Just not sure I like the 11.

Same, I think it’s a normal issue. My mom also have this, but not so much that I have.

Normal in the sense that some iphone 11's have it and some don't. Apple screen lottery!
