White spot appears in my iphone 16 pro LCD (without screen protector)

hi, i just bought a new iphone 16 pro, but when trying to put screen protector something annoyingly weird appear. its a white spot right in the middle of my screen. I wonder what just happened, its not the bubble caused by the screen protector. this happened after I removed it. so its the original screen. It wasnt like this when i bought it.

Like oneacarp indicated you seem to have damaged the phone screen. If you want it replaced under warranty, don't mention the screen protector. Honesty will cost you $100's.

Whoa.


Let's start over. Your original post said that you "bought a new iphone 16 pro, but when trying to put screen protector something annoyingly weird appear."


So, the "spot" did not appear until after you tried to install the screen protector? Is that correct?


But now, you say that the spot did not appear until after you removed the screen protector?


Sorry, I'm confused here.
