Green screen sounds like a hardware issue...

My iPhone 12 displayed a "green screen" after about 5 years. It had nothing to do with the operating system.....iOS 18......that was installed at the time.


If your battery is at 79% Battery Health, it needs to be replaced at the Apple Store / Genius Bar or at an Authorized Apple Service Provider (AASP).


You can find a list of authorized service shops in your area by using this link:

Thanks! But (touchwood) I don’t have this problem but fearing about it. Like i want my phone to update to ios 27 from 18 directly but battery health is 79% that’s why fearing

You SHOULD be fearing at a battery health of 79%. Your battery is failing and all sorts of things can and often do when an iPhone battery dips below 80%. Pay to have Apple replace the battery in your phone as soon as you can.
