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

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:

My ipod touch 4g, has a white spot on the screen when you turn it on, what is that and how do I fix it?

When you turn the ipod on, there is a noticeable white spot on the screen/display. Once all the apps come on you can't see it, but when it starts up you can.

From you descriptionis is hard to tell if it a atain on the outside of the screen or just what. Have you tried cleaning the screeen as said in the users guide:
Cleaning iPod touch
Clean iPod touch immediately if it comes in contact with any contaminants that may cause stains,
such as ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, or lotions. To clean iPod touch, disconnect all cables and
turn off iPod touch (press and hold the On/Off button, then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a
soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners,
household cleaners, compressed air, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to
clean iPod touch. Rubbing the screen with an abrasive material may scratch the glass.
For more information about handling iPod touch, see the iPod touch Important Product Information
Guide at www.apple.com/support/manuals/ipodtouch.

Ardha,
Welcome to the forum. White spots on the LCD, typically a bright white spot most clearly seen against a white background like the forum, or google home page, is caused by pressure damage - pressure applied to back of the LCD panel.
Since you indicated that you have only had the system 1 day, unless you are aware of something that happened while in your care, I can only guess that the damage was done during transport or manufacturing. I would recommend you contact your point of purchase and ask to exchange the unit. I would also try to power up and inspect the new system immediately to make sure all is well.
Please also see my PM - I would like you to take a pic of the spot and email to me if possible. While random things happen, I'd like us to take a look at this.
Best regards,
Mark

I have a small white spot on my screen

I have a macbook air which i bought in april. It works great but i notice it there is a small white spot on the screen that is very annoying. It's not visual when I'm playing a game or wtching a video because there is a dark screen behind it. When there is a light screen in front of it it's there. It's annoying.

Your Mac has a 1-year warranty. If this is a hardware problem in the display (and it sounds like it is) they will fix it for free.

White spot on the screen

I have an ipad mini, has a white spot that is very noticeable, but how are letters in spots, this disappears , what i can do?
Translated with google translator

With a lot of time spent waiting on hold for a tech support person (I literally timed 47 minutes before speaking to someone) and some very direct answers, my powerbook screen was replaced BUT the hinges are now missaligned. ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING LATELY. I never had a problem with my 1.25ghz PowerBook and it seems as APPLE is making a commercial leap, what was once high end is just mediocre moderate end junk. Though they did fix the screen, I had to purchase AppleCare and urge anyone who is in the time frame where this is an option to do the same.
TIPS
Clock your hold time. there is no excuse for me to wait that long to be put on hold and then transferred after my first attempt was dropped ON THEIR END as I was calling from an analogue landline.

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 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.

Bios Update for G400s Touch/ White spot on the screen

When will be released g400s touch's new bios? G400s already have the update. That is incompatible with my machine.
Recently, appeared a white spot on my device screen. It's small, but it's bothering me since the notebook only has 1 year of use. The warranty covers?

That sounds like a stuck pixel, usually has to be more than one to be a warranty issue. Contact Lenovo Support to verify your warranty status and determine if your warranty will cover dead pixels and how many would trigger screen replacement.
Good luck.

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

Appeared white spot on the screen of ipad mini. What can i do?

A white spot was appeared on my ipad mini screen? Please help

It's under warranty for one year from the day you bought it.
It was released on Nov. 2, 2012. If you bought it that day, you are 8 days out of warranty. If you bought it after Nov.10, 2012, you are under warranty (as of today. Apple should have the sale date if you give them your serial number. If you have the receipt, use that.
Either way, you should check with Apple and they should give you a new one (original) as a replacement. If you're near a store, make an appointment as soon as possible with the genius bar and bring it in.
Please do it as soon as possible.
Hope this helps.

You need to take the iPod to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop.
We have no way of knowing whether or not Apple will repair or replace.

White spots on the screen

Yesterday, I opened my Mac for the first time in a while and it was REALLY dusty so I sprayed it down with some canned air. I also replaced the second internal drive. Once I got the computer back up and running, I noticed there were little white spots on the desktop. Sometimes they are gray or red as well. The spots stay there until you move a window in front of them or a selection box around them. They sometimes appear in other programs, most notably DVD Player. Otherwise the computer is running fine. I'm worried that I sprayed dust into something or knocked something loose. Where should I start looking for problems? Apple's Hardware Test showed no hardware problems. Here's a screen grab of the issue:

Thanks,
Renny

If anybody's reading this in the future, DP's advice definitely worked. I hadn't removed the video card originally. When I did, I noticed that it had so much dust in it that the fan wasn't able to operate. Embarrassing. Anyways, I cleaned it out and now the computer's running smoothly. A lot quieter too!
