Today I noticed a smudge on my iPhone screen while it was turned off. I assumed it was from my fingers so I took a cloth and wiped it and much to my surprise it was still there? I’ve been searching online all day but can’t find any answers and it’s driving me absolutely insane trying to figure out what it is. It’s definitely not a scratch it’s appearance is dull black in comparison to the normal glossy back it’s very smooth to the touch and i’ve found when i wipe the screen with more pressure it goes away but comes back after the screen has been touched. I guess it could be described as a patch? It’s an elongated oval and the outside you can see rainbow colors that are extremely subtle. It looks like it was under a really heavy weight but it wasn’t. Fully functional. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME. IM OCD AND I CANT STAND SEEING IT EVERY TIME MY SCREEN IS OFF
It sounds like a factory defect in the lcd display. It should be covered by your warranty from Apple.
If You used your iPhone under water, then its normal, and will not repaired under warranty. If your phone wasnt under water, then give it to apple, but ask only for screen replacement, not an whole phone.
This happens when the display delaminates. Usually happens when a lot of heat is put on a certain area of the display.
