I phone 13 screen issue post update of IOS

My iPhone 13 was working perfectly with no display problems. On Monday , I updated the device to iOS 27 through the normal software update process. Immediately after the update, the screen began flickering and then went blank and green lines appearing at top/status bar. The phone still responds to calls , which shows the device is powering on but the display is not functioning.

The screen is failing or failed. It wasn't a result of iOS 27, but the stress of an update, likely pushed it over the edge. Your battery, if the original battery in the phone is also likely failing, unless you've already paid Apple to replace the battery recently.


Schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar, where Apple will tell you your options and costs to have the phone fixed --> 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.
