iPhone 14 Pro Max - Green Screen

There are literally thousands of pages of people who experienced the Green Screen on iPhone 14 Pro Max where it happened out of the blue. My theory is that once you are done financing or at 1 year or more, that the device is created to fail.


My iPhone 14 Pro Max experienced the Green screen almost exactly 7 days after I finished paying my financing for the phone - I don't think that is a coincidence. I read a story about a mother and son on here who's phones went green within a few days of each other. Something deceptive is going on at Apple. This is giving class-action. It reminds me of when Apple admitted to slowing down phones in order for people to purchase the next newest model.


I went to the Genius bar and they were no help. They just gaslight you into saying it was you. It is a defect. It is because of software upgrades too. There are many ways that technology can fail because of OLED, GPU, or other failures on the device. They will not replace it or honour the product - trust me I went to several people.


What does someone do now? How are we suppose to trust the newer model iPhone 16 pro max? Won't it just fail in two years? I think it will - and I think that it is built to fail.

Here are some common solutions you can attempt:


  1. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary software glitches. Turn off your iPhone, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on.
    1. Restart the device. That's it.
    2. Still not solved --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
  2. Reset Network Settings: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings: Only network settings are removed.
    1. When you reset network settings, previously used networks and VPN settings that weren’t installed by a configuration profile or mobile device management (MDM) are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and Ask to Join Networks settings remain turned on.
    2. To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the configuration profile, then tap Remove Profile. This also removes other settings and accounts provided by the profile. See Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone in this guide.
    3. To remove network settings installed by MDM, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the management, then tap Remove Management. This also removes other settings and certificates provided by MDM. See “Mobile device management (MDM)” in the iOS Deployment Reference.
    4. Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.
  3. If the issue persists, you can try resetting all settings on your iPhone. This will not erase your data but will reset all personalized settings to their default values. Go to Settings > General > Transfer & Reset > Reset > Reset All Settings and confirm the action. Note that you will need to reconfigure your settings afterward. All settings—including network settings, the keyboard dictionary, the Home screen layout, location settings, privacy settings, and Apple Pay cards—are removed or reset to their defaults. No data or media are deleted.
    1. Reset All Settings: Return iPhone settings to their defaults - Apple Support:- Return iPhone settings to their defaults
    2. You can return settings to their defaults without erasing your content.
    3. If you want to save your settings, back up your iPhone before returning them to their defaults. For example, if you’re trying to solve a problem but returning settings to their defaults doesn’t help, you might want to restore your previous settings from a backup.
