Iphone 7 plus blurry screen when using phone mode

10:30 am this morning my wife's Iphone 8 screen went blurry again after 28 days. I asked her to see how many apps were open. She tends to keep them all open.... it takes a re boot and she is up and running again... with no blurry screen.

sorry guys...

on to looking at other solutions...

Same problem with latest update. Double click + swipe works. Another Apple defect being ignored.

Same problem. Occurs at leest once a day. Restartiung iPhone helps.

I contacted Apple and the technician said that sometimes the downloads don’t upload properly and it causes problems. She had me go thru ITunes with my phone connected to my computer and re download it. I don’t know if this fixed the problem or not since my phone doesn’t always have the blurry screen but I’m hopeful.

Good point. It may take a while to identify if it's resolved. However, my guys were getting the issue multiple times a day. Force quitting Phone app resolved it temporarily. I updated both devices to iOS11.1 and I'm crossing my fingers, but I also happened to notice that each of them had a problem with visual voicemail. That wound up being the only common factor I could find between them. I reset the voicemail password and the visual voicemail issue resolved itself within about 20 min.

Fingers crossed!

This issue is unquestionably a software issue. I have every expectation that a restore and setup as new (not restoring from backup) would completely resolve the issue... however the reason we're all checking this forum is because we're looking for a way to avoid that cumbersome process. And, if you seek support from Apple, being a former Apple Genius myself, I can tell you that the restore and setup as new is the end-all cure that they'll offer. Though, of course, seeking help from the source is never a bad idea... just be prepared that they likely won't have a simple fix for you.

Furthermore, by reading this forum, you'd think that this is a wide-spread issue that affects every iPhone user. However, that's simply not the case. We represent a very small percentage of iPhone users who've ever even heard of this issue. I've already seen about a hundred iPhones running iOS 11 or later and these two with which I'm currently working are the only ones that have exhibited this issue. And though they are two completely different devices for which I can't seem to glean any other commonalities between them, there is one big commonality that I can't ignore... they're both used by the same person (one is a work phone and the other is a personal phone).

So, yes, lets all keep troubleshooting and helping each other find some solution for this problem or what might be causing it. But lets also keep our heads and not start spouting absurdities (like "buy an android" - yuck), simply because we likely only represent an infinitesimal fraction of users who have found an anomaly with iOS 11.

Nov 6 now 12 days without the blurry screen since I did the factory reset toscratch etc etc....

also applied the 11.1.1 update....just repeating to let all know.. may still happen again.. will post weekly now...

I manage about 70-75 iPhones where I work and I have had 5 people in the last month complain about this. So far I have had 6s, 7, and 8 do it. All have at least iOS 11 on it, different updates of iOS 11 at least. This has to be an iOS 11 issue then, right? I've told people to just swipe up and kill app and reopen which is the quick fix, but but reading this forum and others it looks like this is a pretty big issue, no?

Has anyone gotten an answer from Apple regarding this in a forum or in store?

That was only a temporary fix for me. It came back, over and over. I clear the cache and turn my phone off every night, it would be back the next day. I did update to 11.03 and so far it hasn't done it again. But then I don't use my phone that much.

I still think the permanent fix is to take your device in to be diagnosed.

I have an 8 Plus and before that a 7 Plus and I have never seen this occur.

Update your IOS TO 11.1.2

Just got iphone 7 2 weeks ago. screen blurred out T least once a day. hard restart only solution at this time. 11.1.2

I called Apple and the person I talked to was not personally aware of this problem. She looked on their system but it wasn't clear to me if others are aware of it. She said that if enough people have this issue they would work on it. My suggestion is that everybody here contact Apple to report the fail. It was quite easy for me to talk to a person there. The button that I clicked said that a someone would call within two minutes. The actual time was about 15 seconds.

I suggested to her that Apple contact the people here that have the problem frequently to get a better idea of what is going on.

The one time that I had the blurry screen was using 11.0.3.

did the erase, set to factory, installed ios 11.1. updated all data from backup. Will now wait to see what happens, If anything. After this will take the phone to the apple store in Newcastle uk.....

Have done everything they suggested, plus the ios 11.1

cheers elo

apple support would tell you to do a factory reset then install the latest ios 11. you should get the latest version. do not install the 11.0 and all the other updates. should all be one install only.
