Dust under iPhone 12 display

Hi there,


I got dust under digitizer (between digitiser and AMOLED).

I do smartphone repairs for year - I am 10000% sure it is in glue between digitiser and AMOLED.

Screen is Apple as it has TrueTone and does not say it is not genuine Apple.


I know they might look like scratch - but under very specific light glass is giving PURE light reflection (with visible only REAL micro scratches)


Additionally it has something like oleophobic coating worn.


All those blemishes are barely visible in "naked eye" - I used macro photo with 2x zoom

As I said I do smartphone repairs for years - and I saw thousands displays - but never such a thing in new iPhone. But I saw it with just glass replacement only - BUT - it is high skill job and usually glue residue visible and some pressure marks - and I think there is not just glass replacement part available yet.

Well...... I am an idiot - purchased it second hand and seller did not mention it has.......... SCREEN PROTECTOR!!!!

Thanks Level 8 - if you will ever see iPhone 12 - you would easily notice "second layer of glass" on the top of display which shown in both photos.
