There are two variants I've seen: LCD and OLED. I don't think they're rejects, but are instead some Chinese reverse engineering since, AFAIK, Apple doesn't sell this iPhone model with LCD displays. Plus, Apple has an iron grip on their supply chain.

They probably are inferior to the official Apple ones though (not that I'd care enough to pay 3-6x the price)

They definitely don’t go through the same quality control, the 3rd party screens I’ve bought have always had some sort of minor visual defect.
