Worth it to try a Forced Restart on the phone. Follow the instructions very carefully, as this is a bit tricky. (Hint.....ignore the "slider" when it appears and keep holding the Side button in until the Apple logo appears. This might take another 30 seconds.)

There are only 2 possible results when you perform a Forced Restart:


1) The phone / screen returns to normal operation


If the shadow on the screen remains.......


2) There is a hardware problem with the phone......the screen is likely failing......which will need attention at the Apple Store (make an appointment) or take the phone to an authorized Apple Service shop.
