why does my 6s has a grey smudge on the upper left corner? I just noticed it recently. it doesn't show much on white and very dark backgrounds. But it's very obvious on blue, pink, green. I can see in when I'm on fb. I am afraid it will grow. Help.

Although this sounds different from descriptions I've read in various news reports, this issue could be related to the so-called "touch disease" suffered by some 6s phones. The problem seems to be caused by how the screen is connected to the phone. Apple has offered a repair program for $149 for 5 years past the original sale date.

Hello. Thank you for responding. My problem is not found in any of those. My device performs perfectly fine but I have noticed a grey smudge/ discoloration on the upper left corner. It doesn't show much on white or extremely dark backgrounds. But they are visible on blue, violet pink or any backgrounds that are not extremely light or dark. It bothers me because I am afraid the smudge miight griw and affect my phone eventually.
