That's usually a failure of the screen. Schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar for service options/pricing --> Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗


There appears to be a problem with the internal display panel. Only a certified Apple technician can determine the cause and offer a complete solution.


Therefore, I recommend service.

I am being forced into a loop to run a diagnostic test without any clear confirmation that the fee will be waived or that Apple will fix the screen for free once user damage is ruled out.


An authorized Apple service shop will not charge anything for a diagnostic check and test. You can find a list of authorized shops in your area using this link:


Find Locations


The fact that you did not drop or abuse the phone is irrelevant. If the warranty on your iPhone has expired.......you will pay for any repairs that are needed on your iPhone.


Botton Line.....In warranty......you don't pay. Out of warranty....you will pay. That is how warranties work.


The authorized shop that you take the phone to will confirm this for you.

My display suddenly developed a green screen issue despite having zero physical or liquid damage. I did nothing to cause this, yet Apple support is claiming it cannot be a manufacturing defect simply because I did not encounter it in the first few days of buying the device. Hardware components—especially OLED screens and display controllers—can degrade over time and fail internally due to underlying manufacturing faults long after purchase.

What makes this worse is that I am being forced into a loop to run a diagnostic test without any clear confirmation that the fee will be waived or that Apple will fix the screen for free once user damage is ruled out. Asking me to pay out-of-pocket for an inspection while denying the possibility of a hardware defect—without offering a path to help—is unacceptable. If a physical check confirms there is no user-induced damage, Apple should take full responsibility and repair it free of charge.

Sorry, but ANY electronic device can fail at any time. That's why you were offered the opportunity to purchase an AppleCare+ Plan within 60 days of original purchase. Had you done so, this wouldn't be an issue. But you gambled and didn't buy a plan. A gamble you unfortunately lost.


Apple isn't going to pay for your repair on an out of warranty device. Neither Samsung or Google would either and their screens can and do on occasion fail.


You do understand this is a user to user only forum, right? It doesn't matter what you tell us you expect here. We're not Apple and we can't offer you a free repair. You can certainly ask Apple if they will cover your screen, but I suspect you're going to be disappointed with the outcome.
