iPhone 13 Series users are facing Green Screen Tint issue after updating to iOS 16.2

iOS 16 was a fairly substantial update that offers lock screen customization, continuity camera, and much-requested features like haptic feedback on the native keyboard, improved drag and drop, etc. However, everything does not appear to be smooth sailing on iOS 16. Users have reported higher standby drain, worse battery life, and heating issues, and the latest addition to the list of problems with this iOS version is reportedly display issues.

Update December 28: Some iPhone 13 series users are reporting Green line and Green screen issues even after updating to the latest iOS version, i.e. iOS 16.2.

The original story (from November 2) follows:

After updating to iOS 16.1, a significant and alarming number of iPhone 13 units have faced display problems like green screen tint issues that make the entire screen turn green with no visible content on display at all. Other units have faced screen rainbow issues, which are permanent lines of discoloration, a common issue with OLED panels. The problems, however, do not end there. Green lines on the display have been reported, too.

Not only iPhone 13 but iPhone 13 Pro users are also reporting Green Screen Tint issues.

The issue, in most cases, usually begins with screen flickering and a slight green tint, which is very prominent in low brightness and when the grey color is displayed on the screen. The issue is also noticeable in interactive elements like UI buttons and the keyboard. If your device flickers at low brightness, it is recommended to take it to an Apple service center after trying all the basic troubleshooting methods. While this issue has happened to several OLED iPhone models, recent reports state that it has been happening at a more significant margin with the iPhone 13.

Users have reported that this concern wasn’t present on older iOS models like iOS 15.6 or iOS 16.0.3. It is confusing how a software update causes hardware issues. But to venture a guess, the update probably messes with display color calibration and ruins the display. The current cause is unknown, but there is hopefully a software-based solution for this, and Apple is expectantly working on a fix.

Unfortunately, proven and practical solutions do not exist for this problem. People have taken to service centers, assuming it is a hardware defect. Still, units out of warranty have been denied replacement, and even if the phone was under warranty, some service centers have refused to repair the phones. Users with Apple Care can get a repair. Apple has not yet officially acknowledged this problem.

Before worrying, users facing this problem can note that a simple restart may fix this problem. A factory data reset can be tried, too. Others have faced luck after the problem was fixed after downgrading to iOS 15.7, though downgrading iOS is a long and complicated process that might take time.

Whatever the reason for several display problems on the iPhone 13 series, owners of this device are advised to exercise caution before updating since the issue seems quite widespread.
