iPhone 13 display "GONE" after updating it to iOS 26!

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar. That is a hardware fault. It is unrelated to the iOS update. That's a coincidence.

I have been using iPhone 13 since a long time and my display or phone never got to any damage internally or physically. I purchased the phone when it was on iOS 17 then updated to 18 so it is total 3 years of use now. After the release of iOS 26 I updated it and after a few days guess what? my display turned green at first, then after locking the device and unlocking it, display was back. But after several days my display suddenly started to flicker continously and it didn't stopped. Eventually I had to replace the display fully. This update I am gonna say is the most vulnerable update ever on Apple or iPhone history. Not only on iPhone 13, starting from iPhone 12 to the new 17 pro I have found many complains about display issue for the iOS 26 update.

Has anyone faced similar issues regarding display after the update?

Who replaced the screen on your phone? Coming to the conclusion that iOS 26 was the root cause of your screen issue is the wrong conclusion. Screens can fail any time and if iOS 26 caused the screen to fail, it would cause the screen to fail on all of the millions upon millions of iPhone 13's out there, but it certainly didn't.

Yes! I’m facing the same issue with my iPhone 13 too. After updating, my screen first showed a pink line, and later turned completely green with horizontal flickering lines. There’s no physical damage at all, yet Apple Support says the only solution is a ₹25,000 paid display replacement, which is really unfair since this clearly happened after the update.

Case ID: 1**********7 — hoping Apple acknowledges and fixes this under goodwill.

I understand brother. I just wanted to share about the issue that has been going on in our country and maximum apple users have faced it. I just shared my experience and asked if it has happened to anyone else here. But instead you can see…

Your already weakened phone broke during the thermal and electrical stress of a complete change of OS.

Stuff happens. Minimum not maximum users.

If the Facebook group only offers a place to complain and commiserate and no remedy then I would stick to this forum's advice. Have it repaired or buy a new phone.

Yes same experience

iOS 26 update then my iPhone screen is black apple support said display change for paid rs 23000

In our country, we're currently witnessing an unprecedented cosmic alignment where 80-90% of iPhones—spanning models from the 12 all the way to the new 17 Pro—have decided to develop the exact same display defect .

1. And you can provide evidence of this?
2. What country?

You seem to be confusing 'expert advice' with 'personal dismissal.' My goal was to report a widespread, verifiable issue to the community. Your goal appears to be gatekeeping and arguing against statistics. Since I now have my answer (that you have no constructive solution), there is nothing left for us to discuss.

You seem to be confusing correlation with causality.

And no one is "gatekeeping" anything. No one here can stop you from posting. "Gatekeeping" seems to be replacing "gaslighting" as a word that means "people not giving me the answers I want."

Clearly you have chosen to reject reality and substitute your own.

Good luck with that.
