small round dot appeared on the top right of the screen

Greetings! A small round dot appeared on the top right of the screen. It is similar in size to the yellow or green one (indicators), but located to the right. The dot is not displayed in the screenshot. Otherwise, this point is always present. I tried restarting the phone, closing all programs - but it doesn't disappear. This dot is definitely NOT a broken pixel. Tell me, maybe who knows what it is?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

I suspect it’s a screen or other hardware defect/failure. We can continue to diagnose, but may need a screen replacement or logic board replacement. Do you have Apple Care?

If it doesn’t appear in a screenshot it is most likely the display.


However, that iPhone 11 is way behind in iOS updates; the current version is 18.1.1, so I’d suggest updating from a version that is 4 years old to see if that resolves the problem.
