iPhone 18 Pro Green Screen Issue: Green Tint and Lines — Fix
Independent guide — no official affiliation with the platforms mentioned.
إجابة قصيرة
A green tint or green lines on the iPhone 18 Pro display were reported by many users in the first week after launch. Start with a screen recording: if the green cast is not visible in the recording, the problem is software-related and is resolved with a force restart, an iOS update and Reset All Settings. If the green line also appears in the recording, the OLED panel is faulty and service is required under warranty.

STEP 01
Identify the cause with a screen recording
Start a screen recording from Control Center, capture the moments when the green tint appears, then play it back. If the green cast is missing from the recording, the fault is in the display signal path (software). If it appears in the recording exactly as on screen, the OLED panel itself has a physical defect. This single test determines every step you take next, making it the most important diagnostic.
STEP 02
Force-restart the iPhone
Press and release Volume Up, then Volume Down, then hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears. This clears stuck temporary rendering errors in the display driver and most green tints that appear after unlocking; no data is lost in the process.
STEP 03
Update iOS to the latest version
Go to Settings > General > Software Update and install the version shown. Apple has fixed similar green-tint complaints with software updates in the past, and a patch for the green screen issue reported on the iPhone 18 Pro series is confirmed to arrive in upcoming updates. After updating, monitor the phone for a day.
STEP 04
Check True Tone, brightness and color settings
In Settings > Display & Brightness, toggle True Tone off and on, and turn off Auto-Brightness while setting brightness manually to about 50%. Then go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filters and make sure filters are off. A misconfigured color filter can cause a color shift that is easily mistaken for a green tint.
STEP 05
Reset All Settings (your data is kept)
Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset All Settings. Photos, apps and files are not deleted; only Wi-Fi passwords, home screen layout and system settings return to defaults. A corrupt settings profile affecting the display driver is fully cleared by this step.
STEP 06
Restore with a computer (if the recording test passed)
If software steps did not help, connect the iPhone to a computer — Finder on Mac, or Apple Devices/iTunes on Windows. Try 'Update' first; if the issue persists, back up and then use 'Restore' to install iOS from scratch. Always take a full backup to iCloud or your computer before restoring.
STEP 07
Contact Apple Support if the line persists
A fixed green line that also shows in the screen recording and survives every software step indicates a panel defect. Open a service request at support.apple.com or book an Apple Store appointment; panel replacement is covered by warranty as a manufacturing defect. If you bought the device within the last 14 days, you can also request a return or exchange.
نصائح
- The green tint usually shows at low brightness and right after unlocking; run the test in a dark room at 30-50% brightness.
- Always back up before visiting a service point; a panel replacement returns the device to factory settings.
02 — أسئلة شائعة
أسئلة شائعة
Is the green screen issue software or hardware?
Both are possible; the screen-recording test is the easiest way to tell. If the green cast is absent from the recording, it is software and an update fixes it. If it is present, the OLED panel is faulty and service is required. According to news reports, most complaints fall in the software category.
Will Apple release an update that fixes this?
Apple previously fixed the iPhone 11 green tint in software with iOS 13.6.1. For the green screen issue reported on the iPhone 18 Pro, a fix has been confirmed to ship in upcoming updates. That is why it is recommended to wait for and install the update before booking service.
The green line shows in the screen recording too — what now?
That indicates a physical defect in the panel itself. Software steps will not remove the line. Back up your data and open a service request at support.apple.com; manufacturing-related panel faults are replaced free of charge under warranty.
Does Reset All Settings delete my photos?
No. It returns only system settings such as Wi-Fi passwords, wallpaper and home screen layout to defaults; photos, apps and files stay in place. Only a computer 'Restore' erases the device completely — which is why you should back up first.
