Thank you for your detailed post. It would seem your iPhone being dropped would be the cause for the display issue. That is likely a hardware issue, and therefore you are correct in that you should make an appointment at your nearest Apple Store. If none are nearby, an Apple Authorized Service Provider will work. Please see this link to do so.


Don't attempt to fix it since that is difficult as we lack the required manuals or let alone parts to do it. Even tampering with the iPhone can void your warranty and service eligibility with Apple, so ensure they have the first look!

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.
