Thank you for the screenshot.


Ridding of Screen Affect:


IMPORTANT: Be certain to back up your iPhone to a computer prior performing the Factory Reset or getting it serviced. That way, you can have something to restore it from, should anything go wrong in the process of doing so.


Confirm this is an iOS Issue:

What happens when you take a screenshot? If you see it, then it is an iOS error. If you do not see it, then it is a hardware error, and you need to get this fixed. Go here: Take a Screenshot on iPhone - Apple Support


Fixing this:


A. If an iOS Issue:

Reset to Factory Settings:

You might be able to fix this by resetting your iPhone to Factory Settings. Just be certain to take some screenshots of your Home Screen(s) and Settings app, so that you can remember what was laid out and how things were configured, respectively. Export items prior to the Factory Reset. It may take some immense effort, if you have lots to back up, and want all items to be the same. Elsewise, it's a matter of awaiting a new update release. Go Here: How to Factory Reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


B. If a Hardware Error:

Get this Serviced, as you may need a screen replacement.

Getting a New iPhone Screen:

Contact Apple, and setup a Genius Bar Appointment or see an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) in your local area. Be wary as to where you get this item, ask you may get an error of an ungenuine Mac screen. So, to avoid this continual message, it is best to have an Apple or an AASP replace the battery. So, where to get a new battery:

a. Apple Contact Info:

b. Contact an AASP: 

  1. Go Here: Find Locations - Apple Authorized Reseller
  2. Click: Service & Support
  3. Enter: your location information
  4. See: if there is an AASP nearby
  5. Contact: an AASP that shows up, and find out more about the services that they offer to fix the battery
