Green screen issue on iPhone 13 Pro Max after iOS update

Urgent Help Needed: Green Screen Issue on iPhone 13 Pro Max After iOS Update 😔


Dear Apple Community,


I’m reaching out with a heavy heart, hoping someone can help me with a frustrating issue. I’ve been a loyal iPhone user for years, and my iPhone 13 Pro Max has always been my trusty companion—until now. 😢 After updating to the latest iOS version, my screen has started displaying a persistent green tint that’s making everything look off and ruining my experience. It’s heartbreaking to see my beloved phone struggle like this!


Has anyone else encountered this green screen issue after the recent iOS update? I’ve tried restarting, resetting settings, and even checked for display damage, but nothing’s worked. 😞 I’m desperate for a solution and would deeply appreciate any advice or fixes from the community or Apple Support. If Apple could provide an official solution or patch, it would mean the world to me and likely others facing this issue. 🙏


Please share any tips, workarounds, or steps you’ve tried that might help resolve this. I’m really hoping to get my vibrant, beautiful display back. Thank you so much in advance for your support—this community always comes through! 🥺

  1. You still see a Yellow/ Green/black screen after charging. Follow the steps in this article.

    1. The screen remains Yellow/ Green/black, but the device chirps when you unmute it and connect it to power.
    2. Your screen is on, but it doesn't respond when you tap, slide, or try other gestures. 
    3. You can't force your device to restart because a button is broken or stuck.
    4. Your device is stuck on the Apple logo, displays a solid color, or isn't recognized in iTunes.
    5. Contact Apple Support to set up service if you have any of the above issues:

  2. If not resolved, please follow the steps in the following link for support with this issue: If your iOS device restarts or displays the Apple logo or a spinning gear unexpectedly



Facing Green / Yellow Screen issues? Here's what worked for me:

  1. Backup on iCloud/iTunes - If enabled daily, wait for the time of day when iPhone backs up automatically.
  2. Try this --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


After the iPhone starts...

1️⃣ Backup on iCloud/iTunes

2️⃣ Log out of Apple ID

3️⃣ Erase (Keep eSIM Data)


❌ DO NOT restore from backups! Set up as a new iPhone. Wait 2-3 days - no issue! That Indicates...

✅ No hardware/ iOS issue


Now...

📦 Restore data gradually

🔍 Find app/settings causing the screen flickering
