Weird darkened spot on iPhone screen

Few days ago I've noticed a weird yellow/darkened spot on my iPhone screen on the right side, around the SIM card. I have no idea where it came from... I didn't hit it against anything or drop it. There are no signs of damage. When the phone is on you can notice the darkened yellow color on lighter backgrounds.
This weird spot on the screen it get brighter with more use. When the iPhone was cold it was not present.
So what are the chances of me getting this fixed under warranty or AppleCare?
TNX a lot for the good thoughts :-)

I would take it to Apple and see what they say. Worst they can say is that it's not covered under warranty. Personally, it sounds like a screen defect to me, but only Apple will know for sure.

White spots on iPhone screen

3 months ago, I bought the Apple iPhone 4s via Three UK. It was a brand new contract phone.
About a week ago, the phone developed a bright white spot in the middle of the screen, white is very noticeable.I had not dropped the phone at all. Then, a few days ago, another bigger but not as bright dot appeared on the screen. What is this and how can it be fixed? I believe the iPhone is in its warranty, but I'm not sure what the problem is.
Thanks in advance,

So I am currently facing the same issue on my brand new iPhone 6. When I unboxed it and was setting it up I noticed a fairly big white spot near the upper edge of the screen. The size actually reduced down to pixel width by the next day. So this might happen in your case in another days time (maybe). If it does its the exact same issue!
Currently my phone is at the service center and they're having a look ... Suggest you should get it checked as well

Weird problem with my iPhone 4 screen

Hi Guys,
I can't seem to wipe away smudges on my iPhone screen no matter what I use. My old 3GS was easy, use a cloth or damp one and done. Problem with the my iPhone 4 is it just smudges more and more even when using water, different types of cloths and so forth. It's starting to bug me now cause in the sun light it looks terrible. Before anyone says wash my hands, I always do
Anyways else have this problem or a solution?
Thanks

I have had every iphone model ever made. I have never had a problem like this before. It appears that there are small spots all over the screen. Not to be confused with the "yellow spots" other iphone 4 user have been reporting due to the glue not drying before they reached the customer. This is a different type of spot. I would compare it to a petrie dish that scientist test for things in.
The only thing I can think of is something is happening with the coating over the glass (oleophobic coating maybe braking down?). It only happened on the front screen and not the back glass. You can get the spots to go away when you use a micro fiber cloth to remove the natural oil from your face against the phone. The minute you start using the phone again, they appear. They are kinda annoying and make your phone screen look dirty and have a weird glare in it when your in the sun.
I made an appointment tomorrow to go to the apple store to see what they can tell me. Hope fully its nothing major. The worst thing that could happen is the phone gets replaces by another. Ill keep everyone update.

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

Sunburst spots in my Iphone screen

I think that the sun made those spots in my screen, but i'm not sure...
Other Iphone owners told me that, "it's not normal, sun couldn't make this" i don't know. There is someone with the same spots in their phone?
What can i do?

Bright white spots on the screen?

Hey guys, my iPhone has developed these two bright white spots on the screen. I don't think it's a hardware problem because they are not there for every application. But I have tried restarting it, completely resetting it, etc with no success. The problem is I bought in July 2007 so my warranty is up. Am I screwed?

You can also look at LCD replacement from outside repair companies like iResQ.com. If you're not sure what's going on with the spots, you can also get a diagnosis within 24 hours from them before you decide to repair or resell. Replacement can be had for $130, back to you the day after receiving your order. Also, their techs are Apple-certified. Check it out if you're still having problems:

Display trouble (yellow spot) on iPhone 4

Dear Customer Service,
I have an issue considering my iPhone 4. It was bought 2 years ago, in 2011. Approximately 4 months ago I spotted a yellow mark in the bottom left corner of the screen. The yellow mark gets brighter when the iPhone works at full capacity (for example, when I use 3G Internet via Wi-Fi access point). It looks this way:
Is it possible to solve this problem anyhow?
Best regards,
Alexander

It is just a screeen spot or internal screen spot.If it's normal screen spot then clean it with water. and if it is internal screen spot then there is no way to repair wwithout going to repair.
also try to Restore it to newer version(IF IT's WORK)

Try to find a 3rd party repair center at your risk

I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?

Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...

IPhone screen touch sensors cancelled out over gallery when accordion w/ menu embedded extends over

iPhone 4s screen touch sensors are cancelled out over a gallery when an accordion w/ a menu embedded in it extends over the area. Upon FTP uploading the site, when I load each page from my iPhone the menu extends and then retracts. The area over which the accordian panel with the menu in it extends loses the touch sensitivity. I learned this when I had a gallery at the top of the page. Swiping left or right only continues to work bellow where the accordian extended to before retracting. And although activating the "Light box" works, the light box itself becomes an empty spot on the screen because it's invisible from my phone. Either I can place the Light box at the top of the screen under the banner and menu or at the bottom. Either way, it looks like a blank spot from my phone.
Please fix these features.
Thank you.

After almost 2 days of ICS, here's another update:
CONS:
No notification on lockscreen. The heck important is that.
Calendar widget not even showing the next event.
Lag on Facebook, or even other social media apps while typing something.
SYSTEM UI IS NOT RESPONDING. I almost gone in that moment, where I did a quick Settings Reset after reboot. This is a major con, Sony.
Swiping up and down with many items is now unresponsive, sometimes stopping quickly at a certain point.
PROS:
Bloatwares can now be disabled, or even uninstalled in Apps Settings. I tried to remove What's App, appXtra, and UEFA.com bloatwares, and now it's gone. Let's Golf HD can now be disabled.
