White spots on iPhone screen

3 months ago, I bought the Apple iPhone 4s via Three UK. It was a brand new contract phone.

About a week ago, the phone developed a bright white spot in the middle of the screen, white is very noticeable.I had not dropped the phone at all. Then, a few days ago, another bigger but not as bright dot appeared on the screen. What is this and how can it be fixed? I believe the iPhone is in its warranty, but I'm not sure what the problem is.

Thanks in advance,

Hi bainb8248.

Are both of these dots around pixel-width? They may be stuck/dead pixles. If the 4S is in warranty (you must have extended twice) then they will probably replace it.

Both spots look a fair bit bigger than a pixel

So I am currently facing the same issue on my brand new iPhone 6. When I unboxed it and was setting it up I noticed a fairly big white spot near the upper edge of the screen. The size actually reduced down to pixel width by the next day. So this might happen in your case in another days time (maybe). If it does its the exact same issue!

Currently my phone is at the service center and they're having a look ... Suggest you should get it checked as well 🙂
