Yellow Spots on iPhone 5 screen

Hi everyone.
As you can see from the picture, there's a faint yellow spots on the iPhone screen. The phone was purchased in December but the spots didn't appear until yesterday. I've resetted the phone using iTunes and basically ruled out this is a software issue.
I know I need to have the phone serviced if I want it fixed. But the problem is I purchased the phone from the Apple Store in Hongkong and I''m currently in the Philippines. I don't know someone currently in Hongkong to send my phone to. I just wanna ask if someone had the same experience and what they did to fix their phone. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

you havent gotten a answer ;-; well your having a very very mini kernel panic thats all

Brown Spots on Iphone 4 Screen

I have recently observed some brown spots on my iphone screen. I have searched on the internet what is the cause and I found out that Iphone 4S has some what similar problem and it has something to do with some adhesive that they use. But my Iphone 4 is now older that 1 year and it is not covered under warranty. The phone was in perfect condition and no other wear/tear or any sort of damage. I was wondering whether is there anything that apple could do to rectify this problem? And how much would it cost to repair such an issue. In addition, I would be really greatful if someone could tell me whether is it a digitizer fault or the LCD display fault?
Thanks a lot
Best Regards

An out of warranty exchange is $149

Light spot on iphone 6 screen

Hello Friends,
I just got my new iphone 6 from ATT. After setting it up i found there is a white light (spot) which is brighter than the rest of the display. This light is visible on all light colors and not on dark colors. Let me know if this needs to be exchanged from Apple.
Regards,
Sathish.

Left end of screen. The light is pretty bright. For me it show up all the times under white and any light color background.

Dim Spot on iPhone's screen

Hello everyone,
I have an iPhone 3G 8GB which I bought 6 months ago from Cyprus. After 3 months of using it, a dark dim spot appeared in the middle of my screen. No, it's not a dead pixel, I did a deep research for it. Anyway, I sent it back to them in Cyprus so they can fix it, they kept it 2 weeks and then they gave it to me back without even opening it and see the problem. After many hours there I pushed them to send it to Apple. They sent it to Greece as they told me where there is an Apple Store. After they sent it back again, they gave me a paper which they wrote on it "The dim spot as our customer said, doesn't make any problem to the phone of using it etc." By the way, you can see the dim spot very clear on gray color and dark colors but not on black. At the end.. I'm here now without any support from Apple.
Please help me solve my problem.
Regards,
Jim.

What's really weird is that when I first got home with my new iPhone on 6/29, I too noticed a yellow spot on the bottom left of my screen...obviously more noticeable on a white background. I was ready to take it back...but then after using the phone for the first day...the yellow spot went away. All of a sudden the yesterday 7/29...4 weeks later, a yellow spot appeared in the same exact spot...and by the end of the day it was gone again! (insert Twilight Zone theme here) Hmmmm...wonder if this will occur again on 8/29...haha!
Wait and see if yours disappears...and if it doesn't, I'd exchange it.

Strange spot on iPhone 5s screen

Such spot appeared out of the blue. I tried rebooting iPhone but problem still persists. After 3h in turned off state spot seems to shrink, but i still want to know what causes it and is it dangerous to use my phone?

Looks like a pixel issue - hardware problem - probably not dangerous but I would take it to an Apple store if there is one within reach

I have a purple spot on my iPhone 5 camera ?

I've had my iPhone 5 from September2012 and it was working fine until suddenly I got a purple spot on my camera screen! I thought it was the lens so I cleaned it but it's still there and it's annoying me, anyone else had this problem? The Apple store is far from me so taking it to the store is a hassle.
Thankssss

Spots are typically indiciative of debris that has gotten on the lens, in the camera, or between the camera and the lens. Certainly attempt to clean the lens from the outside. If the issue persists, it would point towards an internal issue that would require replacement of the device (Apple Stores do not have the ability to replace the camera itself on the iPhone 5). Under warranty, this is free. Outside of warranty, expect to pay about $270.

Iphone 6 screen bright spot

I got my freshly delivered iphone 6 a hour ago. And find a bright spot on the right, upper part of the screen.

Can you share a screenshot? because I am having display problems as posted in this other thread : iPhone 6 screen yellow tint?

Purple spot on my iphone 5

so why everytime i take a picture there is a purple spot on my camera?

I have had the same issue. I have called Apple Care a bunch of times to report the same issue. Even though, I can prove without a shadow of a doubt that the problem occurred while my phone was still under the warranty, Apple will NOT honor THEIR manufacturing defect. I am now stuck with a substandard camera (purple splotch on every single picture) unless I choose to spend 260+ dollars to replace the phone. What kind of service is this Apple? Why don't you fix your camera issues? If this issue is so rare, why isn't it recognized as a malfunction? The phone should be replaced at NO QUESTIONS ASKED due to Apple's manufacturing defect. I am so angry that Apple is not standing by their product.

Purple dots on iPhone 4S

I've had my iPhone 4S for about 1 year and when I use the camera 2 purple dots appear on the screen. I think this is something in the camera lens. I domt have warranty on the iPhone so how much would it cost roughly ?

Hello singhmaan7,
Thank you for the question. I found an article that addresses a purple spot that might appear when taking pictures with the iPhone camera:
Symptoms
A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
Resolution
Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.
You can find the full article here:

here is my story. I got the iphone 4 on launch and had spots and screen is was warmer than my 3G.
I ended up taking it back and got another one and the screen is whiter and no spots.
here are some comparisons for you.
http://s940.photobucket.com/albums/ad245/vip_graphx/?action=view&current=iphonec omparison.jpg
Now I also included the itouch. Notice all screens are different color temps. from these images the iphone 3G appears to have a slight hue of purple. In person the new iphone 4 that was replaced has is somewhere in between the itouch and 3g. I sold my 3gs and it was also warmer in color than previous models.
When I went down to the store to return the phone I noticed that many of their displays were also different in color. They had one display that was almost identical to the 3G image that it is shown in my picture. I tend to like the cooler temp lighting rather than the warmer. The new replacement phone that I have actually does look way better than picture shows in person.
This was taken with a dslr nikon camera with no flash. Because of the difference in color temps the sensors in the camera will not have as accurate white balance.
hope this helps

Dead Spot-Top of the Screen (With: Maps - Stocks - Clock - Safari - iPod)

Dead Spot-Top of the Screen
I see some problems with the bottom of the screen but here the problem is with the top of the screen.
I can't use some part of this Applications, I don't know why, I already reset and restore the iPhone some times, and there is no change.
Maps - I can't type any direction on the search field.
Stocks - I can't select the first stock on the list.
Clock - World Clock - Edit - I can't select the Done button.
Safari - When the Phone is horizontal I can't select the Add Bookmark or the Back button.
iPod - When the Phone is horizontal I can't select the play button.
Please let me know how can I fixed or how can I change my iPhone, I'm working in McAllen Texas and the only Apple Store near to here is the one that is in San Antonio, so its like 3 hours driving, what can I do?

If they try and make u pay for a loaner phone, be insistant that they give u one free of charge! I had to send mine in for repairs, but talked them out of the $30 loaner phone fee..only makes sense that we shouldn't have to pay! cheers

Warranty on the issue of purple spot in images taken from rear camera?

My iPhone 5 have purple spot in images taken from rear camera. I just noticed the issue in my phone today.
I researched online and some people also have the same issue and have their phone replaced in Apple shops.
I don't have any receipt or store warranty card since it was just given to me as a gift in the Philippines last April 2013, I checked the warranty coverage status (https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do) and it still has repair and service coverage.
Im now here in Dubai, and my question is that will Apple Premium Reseller shops here in Dubai honor the said warranty and have my iPhone repaired or replaced?

Im now here in Dubai, and my question is that will Apple Premium Reseller shops here in Dubai honor the said warranty and have my iPhone repaired or replaced?
No.
The warranty for an iPhone purchased from an official source in the Philippines will be honored in the Philippines only.

An inportant question about the iPhone 5 screen!

Not sure if i grasped the concept of the new iPhone 5 screen but from what i understood is that the glass screen n the sensors which detect the touch of ur fingers have been integrated into one screen allowing for a thinner phone, the only problem is that if ur glass were to crack, would that render the touch sensors useless? In the first 4 models if the screen cracked all was well and u only had to worry about the spot of cracked screen n the sensors n screen were fine...now im worried that the sensors and even the screen might b affected...thanx in advance
PS: Im also to understan that the new glass on the phone is superior in resistance than older models but in sure it doesnt make it invinsible

The previous phones were like this
----------- Glass
----------- Touch Sensors
----------- Pixels
Now, the iPhone 5 is that way
----------- Glass
----------- Pixels & Touch Sensors

Satellite A660-O7R 3D - Green spots/smears on the screen

I updated all the drivers and software to enable 3D vision following the instructions on the support pages. Recently I noted when using windows media center, corel winDVD and starcraft 2 that there are lots of green spots scattered around the screen. this is worse in media center, when watching TV or if I'm in the menu there are green/purple smears which are all along the outlines of background graphics.
in the TV mode these move along with the video, they are all along the outlines of people and objects while if I'm in the windows media center menu, then they are found along the edges of those moving graphics. they seem to freeze in place if I disable all the animations. I tried reinstalling the nvidia drivers off the support pages but it made it worse as the green spots started appearing on the wallpaper and in the microsoft office programs as well.
So I ended up doing a system restore to a point a full month back..it all worked fine for an hour after that but the same spots and smears started appearing again. the problem from what I've seen so far appears progressive rather than sudden. all 3 software I've mentioned before are only programs I have which support 3D and also used very often
Please can someone help? I love this machine, really hate to have to return it back to the shop

Hi
>So I ended up doing a system restore to a point a full month back..it all worked fine for an hour after that but the same spots and smears started appearing again.
So it look its related more to the software as to the hardware problem but of course it could be related to graphic card as well. So nothing is impossibleyou know
Did you notice this only using the 3D feature?
If yes then the graphic card driver might cause this and as you said the usage of the driver from nvidia page made it worse so possibly its driver issue
But to be honest I didnt find any similar issues in the forum so its really hard to say what could cause this.
