"Anyone facing white screen issue after 16.6 update?: All of a sudden my screen started flickering and now the screen is stuck with white screen. Is anyone facing the same. I see lot of similar display issues raised by people after software updates."

Troubleshooting a White iPhone Screen:

Try Swiping-Down from the top-right corner of your screen. See if that rids of this window. If not, I'd say the iPhone is stuck in a boot loop(because it was updating), or is simply frozen. So, if swiping down does not work, refer to the following... Use MY User tip: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - User Tip

They haven't communicated with me yet. I brought my phone to the service center last September 4 and they said it will take about 5-7 business days before they give me their diagnostic report. But my phone is still under warranty so I'm hoping that I won't be charged.

You can talk to Apple Support and have them waive the replacement cost if your phone is out of warranty already. I've read several similar cases (out of warranty iphone 13-14 suffering from WSOD, GSOD, BSOD) and Apple waived the screen replacement fee, as long as the service center's diagnostic report proves that the phone does not have water/physical damage. You just need to keep calling them until you find a senior support who will listen. Good luck!

My phone was out of warranty but Apple fixed it for free. All you need to do is to go to Apple Store Saket, select city walk mall. This is Apple’s own store and customer service center, not a third party authorized service center. Go there and get it fixed.

I got my iPhone 13 pro max display repaired free of cost. Apple store called me today and asked me to collect the phone after the replacement stating that it is repaired free of cost. They had intitally stated while submitting the phone that they will inspect the phone for damage and if there is no liquid damage or any kind of damage they will repair it free of cost.

Thank god!! Else, I would have spent almost 34k in changing the display for the mistake I am not responsible for.

Yes, I started facing this issue after updating.

A temporary solution was doing a force restart. I hope Apple pays attention to this cause this is an extremely annoying thing, especially for me, who has no easy way of accessing anything work related without my phone.

Iphone 13 Pro Max

Hi!

i am also having the same issue on my iphone 13 pro screen! The white screen (backlighting issue), yesterday. But I had it replaced by the Apple team’s specialist / technician, and the screen is okay already!

Big thanks to the team who resolved the issue for me!

I am very sure the apple team will be very willing to resolve the issue for us!

Mine was resolved (screen replacement), was only about 1 hour 20 mins, and able to collect my iphone on the very same day.

“After updating my phone ios 16.6 pink line has come on the left side screen of my iphone please solve it asap or still people are facing the same problem then please take action”

I don’t know how but the problem of white screen is related to hardware. Although it surfaced after the OS upgrade. In my country hundreds of technicians have been fixing this issue at 50$. All they do is open up the phone and bypass the display connection using a copper thread and voila. You only compromise the waterproof seal in the process. No one seems to know the exact reason behind it after all. Totally disappointing Apple!

1st Contact Customer care toll free, then deposit the device in servicing central,

wait for 1month they replace free of cost if you don’t have any physical or liquid damage.

i had same problem i get the phone tomorrow if need more help contact me 7797404040

Had this issue after updating 16.6 which is kinda annoying. I tried restoring via itunes and disabling 120hz frame from settings yet I ended using a diffirent smartphone. I think it's a combination of hardware and software defect hope we get a response from Apple.

The same thing happened with my brother’s iphone (13 pro max) too. The screen started to flicker then turned into white screen but I was able to call him and he was able to attend my calls. So we called to Apple support they told us to try restart but nothing changed and they asked some info about the vibration is still working on silent switch or not we said it’s working fine. Then they booked an service appointment to the nearest aptronix. Store workers informed that they will check the software bugs and after 1 hr they told us the display is not working u have to change the whole display for 33k Rs. We asked how the display gets fault by software update they said they don’t know that but it is not software problem. Now after the service I am not able to call him too. I don’t know what happened in that service please if any apple supporters are looking into this please solve our issue.

Apple support directed me to a repair center and I had to pay to replace the screen.
