Light Spot on iPhone 11 Screen After iOS 18.4.1 Update”

I hope this message finds you well. After updating my iPhone 11 to iOS version 18.4.1, I noticed a faint light spot appearing on the screen. This issue was not present before the update, and it has become noticeable during regular use.




Could you please advise on the possible cause and whether this can be resolved through software or requires hardware inspection?

iPhone 11, iOS 18

We can't see what you see, and I've never heard of an update causing a spot to appear on an iPhone screen. A spot would be more indicative of a hardware issue, not a software issue.


Schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar and show it to Apple --> Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple


You could try a forced restart, but I doubt it would change what is shown on your screen. See how here --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
