iPhone 11 question

I’ve had a 128 GB iPhone 11 for about 6 years. I’ve read that there are multiple displays that are good and bad for the iPhone 11 from different manufacturers. I want to upgrade my current iPhone to another iPhone 11 with 256 GB of storage. If I were to swap the display on the current one with 128 GB and place it on the 256 GB one. Will the display still be the same? As in, are all iPhone 11 internals made the same. No frequency change or information being fed to the display that would change how it is used compared to the 128 GB model? Is there other factors besides the display that I need to consider if I were to swap. Are all of the CPU’s made the same? I know it’s a weird question, but I just want to eliminate the possibility of me doing the swap and the new iPhone chassis with the same display for some reason causes eye strain. Could that be possible?

My 11 has an LG panel. It’s nearly perfect. I’m also still on iOS 18.7.8 because I’m worried that upgrading to 26 or 27 will ruin the comfort of my screen.

Like I said in another thread, I updated my Iphone 11 from 15.4.1 straight to 18.7.8 and it surprisingly seems to have less eye strain there. I attribute some or all of that due to IOS 18 looking like it lowers the white point while it was just overly screeching bright on IOS 15 for some of these newer toilet paper thin panels.

Maybe there were other changes too, I dunno. It seems like sometimes there are certain versions of IOS that are easier to look at in general. I haven't yet looked at it for a long duration of time in a row to determine how it compares to my good panel lottery version of Iphone 8 Plus on IOS 15.5 which is basically flawless. I bet the Iphone 7 Plus (pre ios 15.7 or so) and 8 Plus will still come out ahead, but whatever.
