Pls help I need to know if this is a major defect or just my eyes

My iPhone 11 when viewed on a plain white or black wallpaper it’s quite ok with no visible ghosting but on a gray wallpaper is different, it shows some kind of curved frame in a shape like the screen to the down part, I have a pics of it attached but can’t get it on the right angle, it’s visible along the top left, I used a blue pen to carve the area, pls is it an original screen or how bad is this to cause further damage. I used 3utools to discover it’s an lg c7f panel but then this 😭

I’m to the point where I believe every iPhone is screwed up in some way.

Nothing to worry about. Most screens have minor idiosyncrasies such as the 2016 SE panels having a yellow tinge at the top of the screen.

Seems like an OEM LCD panel too as LG have been an Apple supplier since 2018.

Just hope it doesn’t get worse

It's more of the rule and not the exception that Apple LCD's have screen defects.

I've seen the inconsistent coloring (usually yellow) from top of screen to bottom, and an inconsistent coloring (ghosting) around the edges of the screen.

That's just the way it is with Apple LCD 🤷‍♂️ If you ever get a perfectly white, even screen... keep that phone forever and never let it go. Put a ring on it 😆

I think the rule is more like no LCD can perfectly display a uniform color. It has nothing to do with Apple.

Apple’s sourced LCD supplier are especially bad and inconsistent.

It could be, what, LG and Sharp?

I’ve had super crisp perfect LCD screens on the 5s, and terrible screens on the 5s and 5c.

Sure it’s not “Apple” per se, but one or all of their sources puts out some real lemons.
