Is there even display on iPhone7?

That's awesome congrats !

Enjoy your grail screen!

Honestly a little jealous but I'd say mine is better than acceptable overall

And I'll give this JAILBROKEN 10.1.1 7+ up over my dead body.
First shot

I hate the swap game. Hate. But I play it many a times. I definitely did for 9.7 pro a little and 6s plus before 7+ and SE as well

Can you reproduce the perfection In a photograph on settings app / white ish screen

Not sure how long I'm going to enjoy it to be honest, with the issues I've been having with my Taptic Engine feedback and (less so) screen clicking that I intended to resolve by using a pentalobe screwdriver. Unfortunately the screwdriver never came in the mail like it should have yesterday, and my last day to return this phone to Apple is Monday, so I have to make a decision to keep it or not.

Anyway, I would take a photo, but the camera on my 7 Plus itself is the only one I own. Maybe another day when I use someone else's camera. Trust me, I've inspected this screen with a plain white image, and even if something seems to show in a photo of it, it's not accurate because the screen is incredibly even.
 
Just got my replacement iPhone 7. The older one had real disparity between the bottom two edges. This one does too but just not as bad. In this one the right edge of the screen seems a little cooler if I get nitpicky but I think I'll stick with it. I am done with the lottery.

Mine seems to have a strip of slightly lighter colour on darker backgrounds running down the right hand side as seen in the photo, normal?

I seem to have that as well. On dark backgrounds only. Its on both sides for me.

After a couple of tries I had a screen that I was more than happy with, it was really almost perfect. In 2 weeks it started making the clicking sounds though to a point where I just couldn't touch it without it clicking basically. Now I have a bad screen again, so I'll have to try again..

What model are you referring to? Because according to your signature you own an iPhone 6. Also never heard of more iPhone 7 / 7+ screens clicking, if any.

I recently got the 7+. A lot of them click actually but often it only happens when applying force to the phone, which you shouldn't do obviously. Sometimes it gets worse though over time or specifically when the phone is hot, to a point where it clicks by just lightly touching the phone.
 
I have been traveling and have been to 4 different apple stores. I couldnt find a single iphone with even display. Not one.
 
Guys my search has ended. I finally got a decent enough phone.

It is still a bit yellow at the bottom (bottom left) but its much better than my previous one. I'll be keeping this.

Same. Got a great replacement 7 today but its still warmer (yellow) in the bottom left as every previous one was too. This one isn't as bad as others though.

iPhone 7 screens are yellow compared to earlier models. Really ugly.

It really doesn't bother me that the whole temp is a bit yellowish. It's the fact that the right edge is ever so slightly cooler compared to the rest of the screen. It's like that on almost all devices I've seen. You can notice it while looking at the grey pattern on the keyboard from left to right.

Not only that the bottom left corner is warm too. With top right corner being cooler.

What a **** show with screens this year. Apple gets away with so much BS.

I'm on my fourth now. And I can't get a decent one. The bottom left is yellow and there seems to be slight deifferent with the top two corners also which is visible on grey backgrounds. With safari open I can see two shades of gray around the address bar on either edges.

I don't know what to do anymore. Cheaper phones have better screen uniformity.

Does yours have a slight tint difference with the top left and top right corner?
