agreed, but why is everyone else saying that the 7-series has more colors and contrast???
Not sure.... like I said when I compared mine to a 7 series, it was clear that the one I have, a 5 series, had better blacks and contrast with more vibrant colors. The 7 series at any brightness look washed out and grey in color.
On another note...... Do those with the patter also have light leakage?
If some of you recall, Apple "announced" the iPhone was going to come with optical grade glass instead of plastic. Some said they changed them at some point post-production, others more logically pointed out that more than likely they were produced this way from day one and Apple simply made the announcement to drown scratch concerns.
What *IF* they were indeed produced with the plastic screens like the demo/prototypes? At lest initially. But scratch concerns from the media pushed Apple to make a switch to glass - something that maybe was going to come with a later model.
If so, some phones would have to have been handled and screens swapped. The workmanship maybe was not up to par and the result was light leakage and maybe a film layer in the LCD sandwich and captive layer left out?
Total hunch, but it may explain the irregularities between them. With todays production methods, I find it odd to have so many variations....
