Iphone flickering green every couple of days then returns to normal.

I bought my iPhone 15 a little over a year ago, and about three months ago, it started showing green lines and flickering, which would stop after a while. However, the problem has become recurrent and has not gone away.


The phone has not been dropped nor has it sustained any water damage. I have tried many measures, including a full reset, but there has been no improvement.


It happens much more often when the phone is cold to the touch like 20 degrees celsius or so. I am worried that the issue may worsen. What can be done?

  1. You still see a Yellow/ Green/black screen after charging. Follow the steps in this article.

    1. The screen remains Yellow/ Green/black, but the device chirps when you unmute it and connect it to power.

    3. You can't force your device to restart because a button is broken or stuck.
    4. Your device is stuck on the Apple logo, displays a solid color, or isn't recognized in iTunes.
    5. Contact Apple Support to set up service if you have any of the above issues:

Facing Green / Yellow Screen issues? Here's what worked for me:

  1. Backup on iCloud/iTunes - If enabled daily, wait for the time of day when iPhone backs up automatically.
  2. Try this --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


After the iPhone starts...

1️⃣ Backup on iCloud/iTunes

2️⃣ Log out of Apple ID

3️⃣ Erase (Keep eSIM Data)


❌ DO NOT restore from backups! Set up as a new iPhone. Wait 2-3 days - no issue! That Indicates...

✅ No hardware/ iOS issue


Now...

📦 Restore data gradually

🔍 Find app/settings causing the screen flickering
