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.

iPhone X, iOS 14

I have the same exact thing going on for a while, but on the other side of the screen. I went to an Certified Repair Shop and they just told me to change the screen. I have a feeling this may be a software issue, but at this point I am not so sure. It's just strange that so many people are having the exact thing, and they all report that they haven't dropped or anything to it.

Rude how? Just questioning your statement with logic. Software is unlikely.

You can always wait for more software updates if you wish to put off repairs.

I don’t need customer skills as you are not my customer. Take the advice or leave it, doesn’t worry me either way.

I too got the same issue. Not just me. Many people in this thread got the same after a software update.

Software update can at times harm hardware as well. Intentional or not.

Anyway when i did a software update, since then i got this issue. Most of the people in this thread who reported same got the same.

For some iphone 11

The company has announced a replacement program and confirmed that affected devices were manufactured during a six-month period between November 2019 and May 2020.

Yes an update can cause hardware to break but it is the process rather than the software. Updates put extra stress onto the phone and any existing weakness can snap during it. To suggest “Apple broke my phone” is balderdash.

My advice was in brief “if your phone is bust get it repaired.”

I would say yes it helps with getting the phone better, though it may not help with peoples anger or feelings but I am not a therapist. They charge you, but go for one if it helps.

It happened to me as well, was scrolling through IG, all of a sudden it has a green bar on top; but mines on the top left corner. (IOS 14.4.2.) I was hopping to find a ez fix here, doesn’t seem like it’s gonna happen. I did booked a appointment with Apple and see what they could do. I wanted to get a Samsung after this, but I recently got a Mac, kinda disappointed in apple.

Thanks for replying.

Yes it is absolutely random. Now it do exist for more than 24 hrs and still not yet gone. Its all of random. First time i experienced was while keeping it charged and unlocking the device. But it disappears all of random, sometimes while watching videos. But it had never disappeared when phone was idle.

I tried restarting, changing os etc.

Now what left for me to do is hard reset and update OS via itunes. But i dont have hopes left for that.

Never expected this from Apple. I didnt even step out of house for months to have it any kind of water issue or drop. This looks like many people are facing the same issue after ios 13.5 update but still no fix.
