Black dots?


You can easily determine if you have a hardware or software issue. A reliable method to confirm a screen or hardware fault is to take a screenshot when the issue is evident - and then review the captured screenshot image on another device:

When reviewed, if the dots are not present in the screenshot image, then you have demonstrated that you have a screen hardware fault. If the dots are visible in the screenshot, the something other than hardware will be the cause.


If the test indicates that a hardware fault, a visit to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) is recommended - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPhone. This will likely inform your next steps:
