Green streaks on your iPhone screen

Green streaks on the screen occur mainly on smartphones with OLED screens. iPhones with OLED screens include the iPhone X, XS (Max), 11 Pro (Max), and 12 series. The newer models are of course equipped with advanced OLED or Super Retina XDR displays, razor-sharp images, but still prone to internal damage after a hefty drop or hard hit. These devices can suffer internal damage after a hard hit or fall. This can damage a component in the smartphone that causes you to see the image. This often manifests as a green vertical stripe through the image. On that line, the phone cannot drive the image, causing a green color in this spot.

White or gray streaks on your iPhone screen

White or gray streaks on the screen occur mainly with defective LCD screens. iPhones with LCD screens are the iPhone 5s, SE, 6, 6s, 7, 8, XR and 11. LCD screens have since become less common in new models, but they still regularly come in to us for repair, especially for secondary or business use. Also in this case, a defect is caused by physical damage to the screen, such as from a fall. As a result, white or gray streaks appear vertically through the screen. Often this problem is accompanied by a poor or non-working touchscreen.

Black spot on your iPhone screen

Do you have black spots on your iPhone screen? This may be due to a crack in the screen. A cracked screen is extra vulnerable. This can also damage the OLED. Then black or blue-purple spots appear. If an individual pixel is broken, it remains off and is therefore black. If several pixels are defective next to each other, it will spread across your screen like an oil slick.

We also see today that black spots can occur due to overheating or “burn-in” when using high-brightness screens intensively. Especially with prolonged use of static images or bright contrasts (such as navigation apps or gaming), this is more common.
