Green Tint on my iphone x

There is a green tint on my iPhone X along with a permanent green/black bar on top right side of my display. It came out all of sudden. It kept disappearing after some time and comes back again. Clearly this is a software issue since Apple acknowledged it. Fun fact is that even though the green bar persistent and visible, the green tint is visible in low brightness or dark mode. Am out of warranty and is apple intentionally doing this ? Cozz they are known for such bad practices in the past. Iam getting helpless and keep waiting for updates where none worked. Actually in some update ios destroyed the display. What can i do now. I know that changing the display of a 2.5 year old Iphone for a bigger cost is ridiculous and it might wont fix it as i have seen many new iPhone users also experiencing this.

“...So "if your phone is bust get it repaired.” doesn't fit here....”


It applies in all cases, the link I gave https://support.apple.com/en-gb/iphone/repair/service will apply before or after warranty ends. You will get a new screen or a replacement phone. The cost will depend on too many factors to go through now.

It is of course entirely optional, you also can live with it, or recycle it, or get a full price new phone, or use your country’s consumer protection laws.


“...Which may trigger people to think that the company is doing this deliberately ...”


yes definitely go for the therapist.

I have the same issue. This is what I did:


hard restart - works for a couple hours. And then the green tint appear again.


reset all setting - works well for a long while. And then I discovered my battery need replacement. After the battery replacement, the iPhone X still works very well, no issue at all for a month.


update iOS 14.4 - after 1 day the green tint appear again.


try a hard restart - the green tint is still there on the top left corner.


when I try to take a screenshot with the green tint, it just suddenly disappeared, without doing anything. And the screenshot cannot even capture the green tint.


so, do must of you think this is a hardware or software issue?

My iPhone X now has the exact same issue after updating to iOS 14.0.1. The green bar is persistent and the screen flicks on low brightness. I’ve done hard reset,resetting to factory settings and even wiped out completely then installed iOS via iTunes. Nothing happened. Am frustrated to the core knowing the repair would cost a fortune. Suggestions please.

Hi, I have the same problem with my phone. Thats almost exactly what my screen looks like too. I’m using an Iphone X and yesterday, the screen just decided to get a green tint and would flicker every now and then. I panicked so i turned it off right away, not wanting to cause anymore damage. I also thought that maybe it got wet or something but i really doubt it. It happened really randomly and I’m kinda freaking out. Hopefully someone has a concrete solution for this.

I too got the same issue. Green tint exactly like the picture posted in first reply.

I too did an update two months back, and after that this issue started. It used to go off once in a while, but will come back.

I am using a temporary phone now, since cost of screen replacement is too high.


I dint drop my phone or spill water or anything. This happened from a software update. Am surprised.

Is apple intentionally doing this?
