Iphone 13 display getting colorful lines suddenly

I woke up today morning and as I checked my phone (iphone 13), it is having these fine colorful lines horizontally on the display, the brightness of the display is low and the screen looks darker. The phone does not have any physical damage, it is just sudden overnight thing that happened. Please help.

  1. You still see a Yellow/ Green/black screen after charging. Follow the steps in this article.
  2. You see a Yellow/ Green/black screen, but you can hear alerts, sounds, and vibrations.
    1. The screen remains Yellow/ Green/black, but the device chirps when you unmute it and connect it to power.
    2. Your screen is on, but it doesn't respond when you tap, slide, or try other gestures. 
    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:



  1. Follow the Apple article to resolve the issue --> If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen ...
  2. If not resolved, please follow the steps in the following link for support with this issue: If your iOS device restarts or displays the Apple logo or a spinning gear unexpectedly



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
