Users of Apple products rarely have to deal with problems with their devices, so the sudden appearance of ripples or flickering on the screen should seriously alert you.
Reasons for display flickering
Experts identify several main reasons why the phone screen may start blinking:
- cable damage;
- breaking printed circuit board;
- display failure;
- malfunction of the screen control chip;
- break of one or more internal contacts;
- software glitch.
The primary source of most display problems is a mechanical shock to the iPhone or corrosion caused by moisture. Program failures usually occur due to the installation of unlicensed firmware or a conflict with third-party applications.
Often, users encounter the problem of screen flickering after independently attempting to replace the battery or other parts of the device at home.
Algorithm for repairing a flickering display
IN simple cases When the display backlight flickers only a little or periodically lights up yellow or blue, you can try to solve the problem yourself. For this:
- Check for iTunes updates.
- Do backup your iPhone data.
- Go to the "Increase Contrast" menu and turn on the "Lower White Point" function.
- Turn off automatic brightness adjustment.
- Sync your phone with your computer and click the restore button in iTunes.
- Reset your phone using the previously created data file.
If, at the stage of adjusting the brightness or enabling the “Lower White Point” function, the display stops behaving unusually, then further system recovery is not required.
What to do if ripples appear on the iPhone screen?
Only specialists will be able to conduct in-depth diagnostics and establish the original source of the problem. Depending on the fault found, the failed part is repaired or completely replaced.
Despite the fact that screen flickering usually does not interfere with the normal use of the iPhone, if it occurs, you should urgently contact our service center Total Apple. Otherwise, the breakdown may affect other parts of the device, and repairing the iPhone itself will require much more money.

One of the most common problems with prolonged using iPhone– flickering display. Most often users encounter it iPhone models 5 and iPhone 5S, but also relatively new iPhone 6 is susceptible to this disease.
It looks something like this:
Naturally, this is not the norm. In countries where branded stores are present Apple Store, such a smartphone will most likely be replaced with a new one, without understanding the causes of the problem. In Russia, unfortunately, Apple is in no hurry to open a full-fledged Apple Store, limiting itself only to its online version, so we will have to get out of this situation on our own.
But before you shell out money for repairs, try a few ways to restore your display to normal functionality. Suddenly, you are lucky, and the problem is not hardware, but software.
The first thing to do when dealing with any problem with iOS devices is to make sure you have the latest version of iOS installed. Apple regularly makes changes to its mobile operating system. Journalists and users pay attention only to noticeable interface changes, but any iOS update contains many changes “under the hood” of the system, fixing old bugs (and adding new ones).
If your device is already running on latest version iOS, and the display continues to flicker, then try turning on lower transparency. The corresponding item is located in “Settings” > “General” > “Universal Access” > “Increase Contrast”. Try also turning on the “Lower White Point” setting in this menu.
Second Possible Solution The problem lies in the display settings. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness, turn off automatic brightness adjustment. Force restart your device by holding the Power button and the Home key (Volume down if you have an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus). If the problem persists, try restoring the device to factory settings.
To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes, and select “Restore iPhone” in the device tab.
If this does not help, then there is nothing left to do but contact the service center for help.
