Why is half of my iPhone screen white?

When I encountered the half-white iPhone screen, I tried several non-invasive troubleshooting steps before considering a repair:

1. Hard reset: Quickly press and release the Volume Up button, followed by the Volume Down button, and then hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears.
2. Check settings: I adjusted the display settings in Settings > Display & Brightness to rule out any software-related display errors.

These steps are easy to do at home, and if they don’t work, professional help might be necessary.

I faced the same issue with my iPhone where half of the screen turned white and stayed that way. After searching for solutions online and trying out a few things, this is what worked for me:

1. Restarting my iPhone: I held the power button down until the ‘slide to power off’ slider appeared, then turned it off and back on after a few seconds.
2. Updating the software: I went to Settings > General > Software Update and installed the latest iOS update that was available.
3. Restoring the device as new: I connected my iPhone to my computer, opened iTunes, and chose the option to restore it. Remember to back up your data first, as this will erase everything on your phone.

I hope these steps can help someone else out there dealing with the same frustrating issue.

Not long ago, I encountered half of my iPhone screen turning white without any specific accidents. Here’s what I found effective:

1. Force close applications: I swiped up to close all running apps as a software issue might be the cause.
2. Reset display settings: Navigated to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. Nothing gets deleted except settings being reverted to default.
3. Factory reset: Eventually, I performed a factory reset, which involved erasing all data and starting fresh. This last drastic step resolved the problem.

This experience taught me to first try software solutions before jumping to hardware fixes.

When I faced this screen anomaly, I considered possible software conflicts:

1. Remove third-party software: I uninstalled apps related to screen-customization, as they might be conflicting with the display software.
2. Safe mode boot: Booting into safe mode, which I did by holding the power button, confirmed the third-party software’s involvement as the problem stopped in safe mode.

A few changes to how the phone handles certain apps did the trick for me.

For me, the issue turned out to be hardware-related. Perhaps due to a minor drop, a connector inside had become loose. Here’s what resolved it:

1. Local repair: I visited a well-reviewed local repair shop.
2. Professional assistance: The technician identified the problem as a loose display connector and fixed it quickly.

I suggest checking customer reviews to ensure the repair shop is reliable before proceeding.

I had the frustrating experience where half of the iPhone screen was white. My solution was consulting an Apple Store’s technician since tampering with the hardware myself seemed risky. Here’s what unfolded:

• Hardware check: The technician examined my phone, suspecting a hardware malfunction.
• Loose cable: After a few diagnostics, the problem was found to be a disconnected LCD screen cable.
• Simple fix: The technician reconnected it, and the screen was back to normal.

If the device is under warranty, skipping personal fixes in favor of professional help is best.

Upon facing the half screen white issue on my iPhone post an iOS update, my immediate concern was it being software-related. Here’s my method:

• DFU Mode: I connected the iPhone to my computer, then used iTunes to enter Device Firmware Update mode. This allowed the firmware to be restored. Detailed steps can be found on the Apple website.
• Reinstallation: I downloaded and reinstalled the firmware via iTunes, and thankfully, the issue was fixed.

It’s a somewhat technical solution but handy if an iOS update might be the culprit.
