Add the interlacing problem on the 7 screens for those who notice it. pixel walk, inversion, screen door effect, whatever you want to call it, it's still present on the 7 screens that I saw. This has been going on since the iphone 5 series.
The screens are all supposed to perform equivalently, but the underlying manufacturers are different. I'm sure which machine processing the way the screens are put together, or the quality of the parts used to power the screen, etc could also affect the quality. So maybe it's not the screen itself but the assembly process being varied in certain plants or assembly lines, who knows.
But it's clear that not all the screens are performing the same, whether or not Apple wants to say they are within their tolerances. What is clear is that the huge premium Apple is charging justifiably allows more "pickiness" from customers and honestly they should be tightening up their manufacturing processes. I'm pretty sure that anyone who cares can see these issues and not dismiss them as random variation.
It may take you 10 phones to get one that you like, but that is what it may take.
