Your Screen is Failing:

This can occur due to electrical interference. So, if there was a recent lightning strike, or if Utility Work is performed down the street, then there may have been a spark while charing. So, get this serviced. Seeing iOS9 is the version, then that indicates you have an older device. So, get this screen replaced, and then consider upgrading.


A. Contact Apple Support:

If purchased from Apple, or covered under AppleCare, then get this serviced by Apple.

  • Contact Us - Choose Locations
  • Proceed from there as necessary
  • Note: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. And that makes sense because with the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)


B. Contact an AASP: 

Also, take this to an AASP (Apple Authorized Service provider), asking for assistance.

  1. Go Here: Find Locations - Apple Authorized Reseller
  2. Click: Service & Support
  3. Enter: your location information
  4. See: if there is an AASP nearby
  5. Contact: an AASP that shows up, and find out more about the services that they offer to fix the iPhone


Or...


C. Contact A Retailer:

Contact your local retailer, seeing if they replace these cameras.
