Reasons behind black shadows on screen

Hi, recently I’ve agreed with my friend to buy his iPhone 11, and we agreed that I will give him money after some time.He didn’t say anything about the black shadows on the screen. I know it is a backlight problem. My concern is that I started noticing that the display on the iPhone has spots where there are black shadows which don’t go away or anything like that. I would like to know if it was my problem that it started appearing. Could it be caused by water damage, or what is the reasoning? I’m attaching 2 photos. One shows an example of the shadows (not my photo), and the other shows original photo of the display, if any of you can edit the picture that way, that it shows if the spots are there or not. Thanks.

Hi @exportrecords

Check if the liquid contact indicator in the phone is showing any evidence that water may have penetrated the phone.

If that is clear then it could still be liquid damage but not near the indicator or simply that the screen has failed for whatever reason - phone dropped, excessive pressure on the screen at that point causing internal damage etc.

As the screen will most probably have to be replaced, here's the ifixit iPhone 11 Screen Replacement guide. Take note of the instruction in the guide regarding "The combined earpiece speaker + sensor assembly affixed to the back of the screen is paired to your individual iPhone at the factory, ...." when doing the replacement.

Hi, does it get worse over time ?

Hard to say.

One thing for sure is that it won't get better.

Did you hand over the money before seeing the phone working?

If it was like that from the time that you got it, perhaps renegotiate the payment as I think that the screen will have to be replaced perhaps sooner than later.
