Black bubble on the right side of the screen

If it’s what I think it is the screen will need to be replaced. I haven’t seen the actual screen, but what you’re showing in the stock photo is a display issue and not dead pixels. It will only get worse over time.

If it’s within the return period I’d take it back to Best Buy. Otherwise it’s a trip to the Apple Store for a screen replacement.

When i first got the phone i didn’t have this. When i first got IOS 18 that’s when this bubble popped

It'a a coincidence. That's physical damage to the LCD. The display will have to be replaced.

Is that there on every screen, like home screen, any app, etc.? If yes, it's not normal and I would recommend you take the phone to your closest Apple Store Genius Bar for evaluation. Also, did you buy the phone brand new from an Apple Authorized seller? iPhone 15 Pro was discontinued in September 2024.

hi and thanks for the quick answer

You're welcome. You can take it Apple or BestBuy. BestBuy is an authorized service provider.

If you bought from an authorized Apple reseller, you have 14 days to return the phone for a refund. Otherwise, you will just have to live with the bubble.

I believe it’s the start of a screen issue, probably delamination. I’ve seen it before.
