Greetings! The appearance of white stripes (although they can be colored) on the iPhone screen is a very sad situation and, unfortunately, in fact, is not so rare. Today we will take a short run for the reasons for this phenomenon, and also find out if it is possible to do something on our own (without visiting a service center) or is replacing the touchscreen the only way to fix everything? Let's go!
But before we start with you, a small (but very important!) Digression - if the stripes on the screen of your iPhone are yellow and you found them immediately after purchase, then most likely we are talking about a special glue. What kind of substance is it, what to do in this case, and is it worth it to be afraid of all this -.
Well, we return to our white (blue, multi-colored, red - there are different situations) stripes. And here are the reasons why they might appear on the iPhone display:
- Fall of the gadget.
- Ingress of moisture.
- Severe overheating of the device.
- Incorrect assembly and disassembly of the device.
- Errors in software.
Unfortunately, the latter option happens very rarely (for example, when using firmware, jailbreak), but the first step is to eliminate the problem precisely because of it. To do this, we flash the device and the iOS version.
But if something happened to the gadget that is indicated in the first four paragraphs, then the probability of the appearance of vertical white stripes on the screen is maximum. Let's take a look at all these cases, take a look at their characteristic features and find out what can be done with all of this.
Stripes appeared on the screen after the iPhone crashed
The most common cause of this defect. It usually looks like this:
As you can see, some common features can be noted - the stripes are vertical and symmetrical. How to fix it?
- The first and best option is that when it falls down, the display cable comes off, and now it is not completely installed. Solution - disassemble the phone and insert it tightly and all the way. A characteristic feature of this breakdown will be that the stripes periodically appear during use (pressing the screen, heating), then disappear.
- And then there are a lot of options - from damage to the touchscreen, loop, various connectors and to the motherboard. Here you need to not only disassemble the device, but also look in more detail. In the service - there they will be soldered and cleaned and replaced.
Moisture as a cause of streaking on the display
To be honest, after getting moisture inside the device, other problems with the screen are most often characteristic - it either does not work at all, or is completely white. But still, such a defect as a "striped" display can also occur. It should be noted here that the color of these lines will not necessarily be white, and no one guarantees their uniformity and symmetry either. Water can color your smartphone screen in all the colors of the rainbow.
What actions should be taken in this case?
- Well, firstly, if all this happened quite recently, then it is worthwhile right now to perform the minimum of actions that can still save the smartphone from severe damage - we read here about what to do if.
- Secondly, it makes sense to contact the service center as soon as possible, where the phone will be cleaned of corrosion using special equipment.
Believe me, water is not a joke! Even if now the iPhone display "only" stripes, which of course can be eliminated by replacing the display, cable, etc., then after a while there is a possibility of getting a lot of complications.
Severe overheating and stripes on the screen - is there a connection?
There can be only one answer to this question - there is a connection and this is possible for some reason. Or rather, one at a time - an elementary burnout of any component of the microcircuit. Of course, they are all well protected from high temperatures (they are not fools at Apple), but no one gives a 100% guarantee.
Especially if the device is exposed to high temperatures for a long time. Tell me is it impossible? Elementary! We charge in direct sunlight, activate the cellular network and actively use the mobile Internet. Not really an incredible situation? Certainly. It's worth noting, though, that under these operating conditions, streaking on the display as a result of burnout inside the iPhone is the best thing that can happen.
What to do in such a situation? At home, without having certain skills, it is almost impossible to find out what exactly burned out, and it is irrational to change all components in a row. Therefore, sadly, we go to the service.
Incorrect assembly and disassembly of the iPhone - another reason for the "striped" screen
Have white stripes appeared after replacing the display, touchscreen, battery, or any other components inside the gadget? There can be two conclusions:
- Most likely, not all failed components were changed. For example - the display was broken, you replaced it, it works, but with stripes. So the point was not only that - you need to look at what else was "covered".
- Possibly wrong assembly. Impossible, you tell? How real! an example of how just one screw, screwed in the wrong place, leads to the fact that the smartphone screen becomes completely blue.
What to do? Check yourself again by carefully reassembling the device. And, of course, to see - is the screen cable firmly installed on the motherboard?
conclusions
As you may have noticed, most of the advice ultimately boils down to visiting a service center. In fact, I myself do not like articles where the main idea is to send the reader to the workshop. But, unfortunately, in relation to this ailment (stripes on the iPhone), there is no other way. It's too delicate work - to find out which component of the microcircuit has become unusable and replace it.
There is another negative point associated with the appearance of stripes on the iPhone screen.
Most often, with a similar problem, the touchscreen stops working. And this means - goodbye to all the data that was stored on the device (after all, it is almost impossible to view and download them in this situation). Fortunately, there is still something you can do here. Read how to get all the information out of your smartphone (without replacing the screen).
P.S. There is another old, but working method of fixing the "striped" iPhone display - put "like", click on the social networks buttons and everything will be "OK". Just try it! :)
Apple devices are more reliable and perform better. From this they are, as a rule, much more expensive than analogues from other manufacturers. But in recent years, the products of the Cupertino-based company have come under heavy criticism. And it should be noted that it is not just that.
Take the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones, which have become some of the most popular smartphones of our time. The devices are really good not only for their design, but also for their convenience and wide functionality. But, as it turned out, an impressive part of them have the same defect.
The malfunction manifests itself in the fact that a flickering gray strip appears on the screen. After its appearance on the smartphone, the screen completely or partially refuses - the smartphone ceases to obey the touch of the owner's hands.
This problem has been described more than once by the owners of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus since the moment the smartphones of this series went on sale. Information about the problem can be found on the pages of the official forum of the company. Apple, instead of trying to fix the problem, makes an unsubscribe, mentioning that the warranty on the device has already expired. Communication in this vein, at least, does not suit the face of a reputable company.
In addition, 2 years is a relatively long time to make improvements to the design, eliminating the annoying breakdown. According to experts, the malfunction is huge and requires a response from the manufacturer.
What to do with a problematic iPhone 6 screen?
This age-old question arises before the "happy" owners quite often. If the device is under warranty and there are no conditions that violate its validity, then we can reasonably expect to have the device replaced or repaired at authorized service centers.
In the event that the warranty period has expired, there is not much hope of returning the device to operation. The fact is that screen problems are only the visible part of the iceberg. It is not the screen or sensor itself that is faulty, but the touch controller chip located on the motherboard of the smartphone. The design of this unit is such that even during normal operation of the device, microscopic cracks appear in the solder, which lead to the appearance of a gray flickering strip.
Repairing such a device will cost a pretty penny. In addition, there are not many specialists ready to undertake such repairs and, most likely, the damage cannot be repaired, so the only correct solution would be to replace the motherboard.
Apple yesterday launched a Multi-Touch Display Repair Program on the iPhone 6 Plus. This means that the company recognizes a possible marriage and is ready to repair the iPhone 6 Plus display for free. The program also provides for a refund to those who have already solved the Multi-Touch problem in the service and paid money for the repair.
Gray flickering bar on the iPhone 6 Plus screen
In August of this year, complaints began to appear about the operation of the 6 Plus screen. Some users have noticed frequent display freezes and a gray flickering bar at the top of the multi-touch. This was especially active after falling onto a hard surface. iFixit has named the problem Touch Disease.
Free iPhone 6 Plus Display Repair Program
For a long time, Apple did not react to the found defect in any way, despite numerous complaints from users. The owners of problem phones were forced to make repairs at their own expense. The craftsmen tried to figure out the reason for the problems with the display of the "six", many opinions were expressed, as a result the incorrect operation of the controller chip turned out to be the most correct, which starts to work incorrectly due to the force from the case. The easily bending case of the iPhone 6 caused wear on the contacts of the controller chip. In subsequent generations of the smartphone, engineers have strengthened the body by changing the alloy composition.
Yesterday, the company acknowledged the problem and launched a Multi-Touch repair program on iPhone 6 Plus. Here is a list of problems that fall under the free repair:
- a flickering gray bar at the top of the display on an iPhone 6 Plus
Devices with a damaged or repaired display are not eligible for the program. The cost of repairing Multi-Touch was estimated by the company's experts at 11,390 rubles.
If stripes appear on the iPhone 6 screen, then the owner of such a damaged portable communication device is unlikely to be able to independently resume its normal functioning. In order to understand the reason why black bars appear on the iPhone 6 screen, which triggers the general incorrect behavior of the gadget, go for professional advice to our specialized service center.

The "striped" screen on the iPhone 6s cannot please any owner of this wonderful smartphone.
It is especially offensive when the device has been working stably for many months, but at one point a gray strip appeared, followed by a yellow, red, black, blue - and now the entire display is striped, and the poor owner does not know how to eliminate the hated lines.

IPhone 6 Screen Replacement Cost
Why stripes appear on the iPhone 6 screen
There are several common reasons, in particular:
1. operating system errors;
2. mechanical damage to the sensor, which usually appears after the customer has killed the phone;
3. break in the loop connecting the display;
4. penetration of liquid under the body, as a result of which the parts are oxidized.
Operating system crash
Vertical or horizontal light streaks on the iPhone 6 screen may appear as a result of an operating system crash. This usually happens as a result of excessive loading of the device with resource-intensive applications, which, moreover, may have a dubious origin. It could also be caused by an incorrect firmware update.
If an iPhone with a reinstalled OS has become "buggy", a prerequisite for this may be errors in the installation of the firmware or the installation of an unlicensed operating system. To fix the situation, you need to flash your smartphone. You can do this procedure yourself (if you have certain skills) or contact a specialist who will fix the problem within 30 minutes.
Damage to the touchscreen on the iPhone
Whatever the manufacturer says, the huge touchscreen is the Achilles' heel of the iPhone 6s. A striped display may appear when the device hits a hard surface. Often, a harsh mechanical impact from below leads to cracks in the glass, which will need to be replaced. More details about 6s can be found on our website. However, the colored lines do not appear from the broken protective glass - they are caused by damage to the internal, more sensitive, display elements.
Mechanical damage to the screen, which can cause the so-called "matte shroud" and the appearance of colored stripes at the bottom or top of the display promises big problems for the owner of the device. If the transparent film of the touchscreen is damaged as a result of the fall, the repair will be a very expensive undertaking.
In this case, the device is restored after thorough diagnostics. The need for preliminary clarification of the breakdown is explained by the fact that as a result of the replacement "by eye", the problem cannot be completely removed, and the money, as you understand, will already be spent.
Loop break
If the phone is dropped on a relatively soft surface, there may not be any external damage. Then why did the phone go in longitudinal stripes and freeze? Most likely, the reason lies in the partially broken train. These problems are especially common when the impact hits the bottom of the device.
The solution to the problem is to carefully disassemble the device and install a new loop. After the repair, the yellow, red, blue and other stripes should disappear, and the device itself will work as if nothing had happened.
Moisture will cause streaks on the screen
Filling a new iPhone 6s, 6 is always unpleasant, and doubly insulting when the screen after an unsuccessful bath became striped. The reason for this phenomenon is the oxidation of smartphone parts due to contact with water. This breakdown is one of the most dangerous, since in addition to the display, other components may suffer, which also require immediate replacement.
The repair of an iPhone flooded with water is preceded by a comprehensive diagnostics, which is carried out in order to identify possible problems and their subsequent elimination. It is likely that in order to eliminate the breakdown, you will have to, as well as pay for the restoration of some other important elements.
If the display of your favorite smartphone suddenly starts showing vertical or horizontal stripes on the iPhone 6s screen, don't despair, because in most cases it won't be difficult to find a solution to this problem. This means that you have every chance to restore the functioning of a faulty iPhone without spending an amount comparable to the price of a new phone of a similar model. The main thing is to catch yourself in time, because sometimes every minute is important!
