Green dot on iPhone 17 Pro screen won't disappear

I recently bought iPhone 17 pro and I noticed there’s a tiny green dot on my phone screen that won’t disappear (not the camera i know) I tried turning off the phone and even updated it to new ios and I thought maybe the screen saver was the problem so i turned it off but to no avail :( what’s the issue and how can I fix it?

It’s a “stuck” pixel.

It is a hardware issue and most likely the only fix would to be replace the screen.

If you purchased the phone from Apple, you have 14 days to return it for a full refund.

If you bought it from somewhere else, check with them what their refund policy is.
