iPhone 14 Pro Max Stuck on White Screen (WSOD)

Hi Apple Community,

I’m having an issue with an iPhone 14 Pro Max that suddenly became stuck on a completely white screen.

The phone appears to still be powered on, but the display only shows solid white. I’m unable to use the phone normally because I can’t see the interface.

So far, I’ve tried:

Restarting the iPhone
Powering it off and back on
Waiting to see if the display would return to normal

Unfortunately, the white screen remains.

I’m wondering if this could be a software issue, display issue, or another hardware problem. I’d especially like to know if there are any troubleshooting steps I can try before considering a repair or display replacement.

Has anyone else experienced a white screen like this on an iPhone 14 Pro Max? If so, what fixed it?

Thanks for any help!

It is likely a hardware issue, not a software issue. Try a Force Restart --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

If this doesn't help, your next step needs to be a visit to your Apple Store Genius Bar for evaluation and service options/costs --> Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗

There appears to be a problem with the internal display panel. Only a certified Apple technician can determine the cause and offer a complete solution.

Therefore, I recommend service.
