so recently bought a iphone 8 Plus used it for 3 days now and noticed a bright line on top of the screen if i tilt not noticeable when laying flat on a table etc.. I tought my 7 plus didn't had it.. Anyway it doesn't bother me that much but i feel i don't have a perfect phone like it used to be. Can someone check their display if you have it too? I'm gonna check display models tomorrow. I allready put a glass screen protector on it so i kinda don't want to return it.. Also i live in belgium and customer service here is pretty bad so i don't think they would even replace it... Here is a picture too you can see a white line..

The only thing I can think of is if there is some type of separation/unevenness from the LCD panel and the laminate allowing light to seep through. At least that’s how it appears to me.

I wouldn't worry about it personally as I am sure you can't see it in normal use, but return it if you must.
Do you have it too then i checked the display models als they are all the same.. so i guess it's normal

I don’t think it’s ‘Normal’, but it doesn’t seem to affect the phone itself aside from the top of the display.

It's a bleed issue. Can it be replaced? Perhaps. Set an appointment and have a Genius look at it. State that when you view movies with dark scenes, it can pop out. Goes to quality of experience being ruined.

It probably is how the display is being made since all models in all stores have it even the normal size iphones so i guess i can live with that better this than a device that could be worse if i replace it

There is no light bleed if there is a black background the line is gone. So only on a white background the line appears
