A little over a month ago, I had my iPhone 6 screen replaced at the Apple Store. That screen had an issue so it was replaced again a week later.

Since then, I've noticed something that may or may not be another defect: the screen doesn't shut off the way I'd expect; I'm hoping you guys can run a quick test on your 6's to confirm whether this is an issue.

Because your eyes take a few seconds to adjust from bright to darkness, this is best tested in a dark room. Pull up a semi-dark screen like your home screen or an app in night mode, then sleep the phone (just press the power/sleep button). On my 6, turning the screen off is a noticeable 2 stage process - the screen goes blank and then the backlight turns off. This all occurs in under a second, but it's still very noticeable. For some reason, I don't recall this happening before the screen replacements.
