Hi

Im 100% certain its that sponge gasket around the LCD panel they used to mount the glass to.

Ive fitted laptop screens and a raw LCD panel has a thin steal bezel and back if you press the edge the light bleeds through EXACTLY like what we are seeing here!

Apple has stuck on sponge sticky gasket on this then pushed it between the blackplate and digitiser in turn trapping the the panel tight in the device.

Problem is the gasket causes pressure around the LCD panel as its to thick or dense in places and makes the backlight bleed!

Apple SORT THE GASKET! and STOP giving me the wet glue excuse CRAP!!

Anyone else think this?
 
But hasn't some had the issue where it moved when the screen rotated? If it was the gasket the spot should remain in the same spot no matter the orientation.

If the was the case then it would be software, or that users front digitiser is that lose or under that much pressure the alted pressure from the fingers causes the bleed to change.
