Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
The other night my screen went completely black. No amount of tapping would wake it up. I could tell the phone was still working because it vibrated when I plugged it in and it rang when someone called. But no screen. 18 hours later. The phone is sitting on the table. It makes the sound of an incoming text and voila! the screen is working again. I've restarted it and everything seems fine. What caused this? Is it going to happen again?
iPhone X
Hello,
Hmm, it is difficult to know the root cause. Glitches happen :-)
If it happens again, see this:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won‘t turn on or is frozen
Good luck.

The screen will darken when the iPhone gets hot -- whether because of heavy gaming or use in direct sun. This can happen regardless of whether the Automatic Brightness Adjustment is turned on or off. According to MacRumors (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/my-iphone-x-screen-will-dim-on-its-own-under-heavy-use.2129601/), dimming starts at 103°F. Screen can become almost too dim to see at 113°F. The rule of thumb is: if the iPhone feels hot in your hand- it's too hot. Warm is ok. The black faced Plus iPhones are really susceptible to heat soak when using them in direct sunlight.
This same problem is currently happening to my iphone 11, what do i do?
Nope. My screen was fine. Went totally black. No darkening. It was not hot
iPhone X screen went black
