From what I've been able to tell looking at the connectors the LCD may be compatible but the digitizer is not.

I just installed a 7 screen on an 8, The larger connector fit, small one not. Using only the larger connector the 8 has full display functionality. LCD and Digitizer both are working well.

If you want to break your phone, put a 7 screen on an 8.

How does it break it? What damage are you saying it causes?
It may damage the 3D touch connector, the iPhone 7 3D touch connector is bigger than iPhone 8

You have to replace a new LCD flex cable connector on the iPhone 8 motherboard. More details you can read here:https://www.etradesupply.com/blog/how-to...

This thread is really worrying, stick to the same model screen, it is really better to play it safe then to make a $400+ phone damaged.
Unless you don’t mind taking a risk of damaging the phone as said by others the screen connector on the board will get damaged due to different size of ribbon cable plugs on the screen itself..

Why would anyone care so much as to why doing this would cause such critical issues. There is one thing about these two models screens that have little to no difference in them, therefore 100% optional on which to buy for your phone model and that is the price. I could see such questions being asked if the iphone 8 screen was significantly higher than the 7. Or vise versa. But they are identical in price so, why would you ever give a $@$* if the connectors were the same? Just buy the appropriate screen and it will never matter if they are cross compatible. I get that maybe you didn't have the correct one. But get amazon then and tomorrow you'll have the correct screen for your model.

I didn’t realize the screen was the wrong one. But the iPhone 8 has LCD and Digitizer working with only one connector of an iPhone 7 screen. The larger connector of 7 screen fit the 8 device, but the smaller one wouldn’t. With only one connector the 8 device with 7 screen has full display functionality.
