What’s the difference between iPhone 8 and iPhone 7 LCD screen?

According to the previous experience, the new iPhone launched at Sep.12th should be called “iPhone 7s”, but it came to us with a name “iPhone 8”. When we saw iPhone8 at first glance, it looks just like the iPhone 7. Here we will compare the iPhone 8 LCD screen with iPhone 7 and test whether the screens can exchange.

Appearance contrast

As iPhone 8 and iPhone 7 have the same size display, the LCD screen sizes are almost the same.
