After updating iOS 17.5.1, iPhone 13 Pro display flickering

Hi,

I've noticed the same issue on my iPhone 13 Pro as well. After updating to iOS 17.5.1, the display started flickering, most noticeably on the left side of the screen. This problem began immediately following the update.

Just another update: After 2 hours of flickering, the phone display went all green with horizontal lines. After talking to an authorised Apple service centre, I came to know this is happening on almost all iPhone 13 series and few of the 14 series when we update to any version after iOS 17. The Apple centre replaced the display for free under one condition that THERE SHOULD BE NO EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL DAMAGE. Fortunately I didn’t have damage, so my display was replaced within 2 days and there was no data loss.

P.S My phone was out of coverage of warranty.

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.

Remember, the right question often leads to the solution! Please look in the right direction.

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.

Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

Same for me, updated last night while i was asleep and this morning flickering.

I am facing same exact display flickering right after the update. This is definitely not a coincidence. Please provide an explanation for this or a solution.

Dear Apple,

I’ve purchased an IPhone 13 Pro Max and before the warranty ended my experienced a white screen of death after I updated it. No physical damages happened. Luckily I paid nothing because of the warranty. But right now, the same phone, a green screen of death happened after the iOS 17.5.1 update. I hope you will atleast replace the screen free of charge. It is too expensive to buy a new screen.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it diagnosed.
