iOS 26.7 update created a flickering/solid white screen

I updated my iPhone 15 Pro to the iOS 26.7 version and now 75% of the screen is white. It started as flickering, but it mostly solid white. I have tried forcing a restart multiple times, freed up storage, and disabling some of the display settings. Has this happened to anyone else?

First, try a forced restart. If that doesn't work take it in to the Apple store to have it looked at.


• Press and quickly release the volume up button

• Press and quickly release the volume down button

• Press and hold the side button.

• When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it diagnosed.

Happened with me in my iphone 13 pro after the update went to apple care they told me it’ll cost me 35k for screen replacement no other option and I left the store before coming to apple care I did some research and as soon as I left I went to a repair shop which I found in google with positive reviews so I went there to give it a shot they told me don’t worry we’ll repair it for you there is 99% chances that It’ll get repaired no need to change screen then I said ok do it afterall I’ve got nothing to loose because I’ve already got this white screen issue most probably they’ll repair it or I need to get my screen fixed what is the worst thing that could happen then after 3 to 4 hours I visited the shop hoping to get the good news and they said you’re iphone is fixed they did it for 12k saved my money else I would have to pay 35k for that even they gave me 1 month warranty if anything happens again.

same white screen issue happened with my phone last year just 2 days before the launch of 17 series and they replaced the screen of my iphone 13 pro max and this year 2 days before launch of 18 series my wife’s 13 pro max went white screen and they are asking for 35k this time and when i asked them for trade in they told they would only be giving me 30k for this iPhone and now this has become a real problem and it has become a strategy of apple where if you are using old phones they will turn the screen white and either you change the phone without any returns on the old phone or you repair for the cost of 35k

Thanks! I have tried the force start quite a few times. I did grab a reservation for tonight.
