iPhone 13 pro white screen (display issue)
I was watching the new iPhone 16 launch event live on YouTube with full brightness and after a few minutes my phone's display started glitching. At that time I assumed maybe it was the issue with the video or the Youtube app, but after some time the display randomly started glitching and flashing at different parts of the display. Today, it became completely white while using Instagram and now I am unable to use it.
I searched on the internet about this issue and turns out it is pretty common with iPhone s especially the iPhone 13 pro and later models. There are a lot of videos regarding this issue on Youtube calling it the white screen of death. Many customers have this issue after a software update, but this was not the case with me as I never updated mine to the newest version as there can be many bugs or issues, so mine is on ios 16.
Unfortunately, Apple has not officially stated why it is caused, how to fix it or give free repairs to the phones outside of the warranty. Thankfully, mine is within the warranty as I bought it last year in October and hopefully Apple repair center here in my country can fix it without the expensive cost of display replacement.
Such a shame as I really loved this model and bought it only because of its beautiful sierra blue colour while I could have gotten a 15 pro model. My last phone was s6 and I used it for almost 6 years before finally jumping ship from Samsung to iPhone after so many years. Really disappointed.
Kindly apple please ensure the display quality of latest iphone models so that they may never have this issue and also provide free screen replacement for lifetime to the existing ones that have their warranty expired.
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16
