iPhone 13 Pro flickering/ white screen issue post ios 18.2.1 upgrade

I have an iPhone 13 Pro . The screen started randomly flickering and suddenly went completely white. When I approached the Apple Service Centre, they informed me that I have to pay 35,000 to replace the display! What was amusing was the fact that they did not do any diagnostic on the device but knew of the problem quickly and admitted that it is a prevailing problem caused by not any fault of the customer.


They refused to make a "one time exception" because it has rust in one screw and rest all are exceptionally well. My issue is if it is clearly an issue from Apple's end, they should take it upon themselves to fix the issue.


They cannot prove that the issue is of any fault of mine whatsoever and it seems there are a large number of people facing this issue.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.



Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
