White ring around iPhone screen

The screen on my friend's iPhone 4s suddenly has a white ring around the screen. Looks something like the photo below. Why would that suddenly appear? Is there any at-home fix?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). However, I doubt any of that will help as I strongly suspect the issue is caused by either a hardware failure or user inflicted damage.

[White Ring around iPad 3 Retina]

Hello guys.
I have this problem, a white ring around my iPad 3 Retina. Works perfectly fine since i have it for almost 2 years. All i remembered doing was left it charged at 20% before going to sleep, which is a routine for me actually. Wonder what is the problem. Could it be the screen, software or hardware problem?
P:S// It is updated to iOS 7 and no jailbreak ever done to my device.

I sent my iPad (the one with the screen problem seen in the photos) in.
I can just see it says "Could not duplicate issue" and "Original product shipped" so Apple decided NOT to acknowledge my problem and my iPad is on its way back to me.

White ring around PSD images

hi,
i'm noticing a one pixel white ring around photoshop images I bring into FCP.
Anyone else have this problem? What am I doing wrong.
Thanks,
Chase Roberts

Yes, I'm new here AND new to anything MAC and FCP. On top of all else, this is my first series of HD projects with a nasty deadline. I do need this forum and want be helpful too. I'll describe the workflows!< </div>
Unsolicited advice: Accepting a job on a deadline that depends upon applications about which you know little is bad, really bad. You need more time and experience, neither of which we can provide.
I haven't been following the whole thread so you may have already eliminated this. Here's my suggestion: Change the canvas to black on one simple element, create a new alpha, flatten it, import it.
Most Photoshop people have no clue about video. They create on a white background because they print inks on white paper. Video is black; how would they know that unless they're video people? Saving the alpha when using a white canvas ***** in billions of white pixels from the edges of everything. If you antialias, you actually pick up more white and grey pixels.

White Border around the screen? 1/2 inch...

I have a white border around the screen, very noticable with any dark background...
Whats the deal with this?
Could this cause the display brightness to have to be turned up all the way just to get a good solid picture...?
This is not acceptable?

The lack of information, feedback, confirmation, etc that apple is famous for is exactly why I am deathly afraid of ordering the new 17" mbp. I have been stealing my girlfriends' peecee to catch up on emails and websites since I sold my old 15" mbp a couple months ago.
I was just about to pull the trigger and buy the new 17" mbp until the "delay", again no specific information given out by apple. Some people were charged secondary charges and had ship dates of the day of the announcement of the delay - which would logically dictate that there were plenty of machines that had to be un-packed, cracked open and "updated". So with all the unibody related issues, all the 9600 related issues, and all the screen issues of the 15" led, I am not sure i'll be able to play guinea pig for apple... yet again...

Bottom line, I'm hoping for a C86 or C87 to show up. Maybe that's hoping for too much.

The white boarder around my screen cracked, Does warranty cover that?

Hello ahammel921,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please reset your iPhone by holding the home and lock/unlock button at the same time, until the screen goes blank and the Apple logo reappears.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Take care,

White glow around matte screen border?

A white glow has been occuring on my screen that becomes especially prominent towards the bottom, and after a few hours of usage begins to move upwards. However I recently observed that this white glow continues around the border of my screen. Can someone give me a diagnosis and is anyone else experiencing this?

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,
bainb8248

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

White square on iphone screen

I recently started seeing a white square on the top left corner of the screen while unlocking or opening or closing apps. Has anyone else seen this issue? It's happening on the 5s and also on the 5.

Hello, I have the same problem. With Iphone 5S when I open an App, sometimes, not always, emerges a flash light on the top right corner of the screen. It last only half a second but it *****. I went to Apple Store, and in the Genius Bar they took a look, said they didn't know the problem, but I insisted and they changed the Iphone for free. At home, the new Iphone 5S does the same.

Why don't I get rings around the numbers on my iPod?

The image on the left is something I pulled off the web, the one on the right from my iPod 5G. Where are the circles on mine? Is there a way to enable them?
I have only seen the circles three times since updating to iOS7.

I have no idea why they don't show up. Maybe that is something for another thread.
Regardless, the left image shows white rings around the unlock-your-screen numbers and four smaller circles under "Enter Passcode", the right one shows none of them.
I was playing around with it last night and selected one of the Apple images for the lock screen and I got the rings. I selected one of my images and they disappeared. Maybe that has something to do with it. I would like, at the least, to have the four smaller circles.

My sister has the latest iphone 4 update and so do I. She has this feature that is like a shortcut on her screen at all times and I was wondering how I get it? Its like a square thats faded with a white circle around it?

HT201406 I purchased a new iPad 3. When viewing Facebook photos a white ring in the center of the photo appears randomly. I can move photo around with finger and one ring stays in center of screen even on blank part of screen. Help.

Has anyone experienced a white ring ( like a Cheerios or life saver candy shape) frozen in center of screen when viewing Facebook photos? You ca move the picture around with your finger, even minimize it and the ring is in the center of the screen. It is random not on all photos as you swipe through them. Could be on any profile photos. When you click done and go back into photos it disappears on the photo or photos that had it previous , but may sow up again on other photos . Again it's a perfect shaped white ring in center of screen. Only on Facebook.

Not familiar with that but it is worth trying a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

Hey i need help my iphone 5 all of a sudden has like an all white border around it and sometimes it has a blank screen what seems to be the problem?

Try turning off the following:
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Push>OFF
Settings>Notifications>Mail>Gmail>Notification Center>OFF
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Off

My iPhone screen is frozen on white light (then goes to black). I tried to reset with no luck. The phone will ring but can't pick up a call.

My iPhone screen shows only a white light when on, then goes to black.
I tried to reset, with no success, and I
synced to computer again, with no luck either.

Try to set it up as new device, explained here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
First without using the backup, in case it contains corrupt data.
If it works after that, use the backup to restore from.
