I think all of the iPhone 8's have this even Display models at Apple Store and Best Buy.

I even saw a thread somewhere online about it.

Slightly uneven display is part and parcel of iPhone LCD displays.

Are you sure? I've seen 6S and 7's that were ok

I notice the bottom of my display seems a little darker when in darker environments.

Does it bother you?

Do you know if this is common?

I feel the same way.

When true tone and night shift are off then the screen seems even.

I haven't heard anyone else speaking of that specific issue. It doesn't really bother me, I just happened to notice it a couple of times. I haven't turned off True Tone so I don't know if that evens it out.

My 8 Plus has this. The previous one didn't, but had a noticeably patchy backlight, hence the swap. I've noticed that it seems to disappear if you tilt the phone away from you a little more, so may be due to TT and viewing angle. Certainly less noticeable, or in fact not present, when TT is off.

That's cool. I'm still on my 6S but I'm sure I'll get used to it to.

I agree that when TT is off my screen seems fine if not perfect.

So then it's probably not a defective screen right?

Maybe this is just how TT is?

And also, does it bother you?

It doesn't bother me, no.

Just got my 8 and you are correct. Its ever so slightly more orange at the bottom. but overall this is the most even screen i've had in a really long time.

I found a way to show the slightl unneveness -

1. Turn off true tone.

2. Open safari. New tab.

3. Rotate phone to the left so the speaker is on the left and charging port on the right.

Compare the grey areas marked in the screenshot. They are slightly different for me.
