Please tell me this is what your restore screens look like (and not a defect)

jkess - While I was making a fresh backup, I played with the phone as a new phone. I don't see the backlight issue too much in normal phone usage, do you? Again, I haven't done a lot.

It seems that restore screen just really emphasized it, don't you think?

Hope yours is looking ok too.

Yeah, I am having the same experience. Glad you are too! Hope the restore works haha

Maybe the backlight tech just looks horrific with that camera for some reason and not in actuality? Here's hoping.

It deff looked bad in person, but phone looks great now that it is up and running and I'm playing with it. So I guess it was supposed to look like that lol

Is that restore screen using maybe a blurred version of the default snowy mountain wallpaper? If I press the home button on my 6 Plus with a notification on screen, I have the same wallpaper with the blur (I guess so you can read the notifications over the wallpaper).

If it's supposed to be a pure black screen -- then, yikes. That's bad. I'm not doing a restore, so I can't verify on mine, except that loading a web page with different colors (dead pixel tester) was fine, no blotchiness.

Just restored my phone and had the same screen. The markings were identical to the picture posted so it must be meant to look that way.

Oh wise. Yeah when it loads up with the apple logo or status bar, it was lookin FRESH. I think you are right!

Was the restore off of iOS7 or 8? Not that that would matter for the light bleed. Just curious if this ish is gonna work even though I hadn't upgraded

iOS 8

Maybe try loading up an all black image and max your brightness out, that should tell you if it's the screen

I got it as well, but I noticed it was actually the background showing through a very dark, and very strong blur filter. Similar to the Yosemite login screen, but much darker.

The connect to iTunes screen looked perfect.

EDIT: Ninja'd

Identical restore screen

I have the exact same screen when I restored.
