Many iPhones have blue screen errors, ‘brick’ after software updates

About 2 weeks ago, on Apple product user groups, the status of the blue screen after updating the software was reflected by some people.

In a Twitter post by account @AkshayAnuOnline, he said his iPhone 13 started showing a blue screen after updating to iOS 16.0.2. Initially, this phenomenon ends after 5s. But when upgrading to iOS 16.1, the phone turned completely blue.

The error that this user encountered is called “green screen in California” and will be replaced by Apple for free if the iPhone is still under warranty. Unfortunately, Akash’s iPhone 13 has just expired warranty not long ago and he will have to spend $ 375 to fix a fault not caused by him.

Another error that is also reflected is the screen freeze, not responding to the touch. This error was shared by YouTube channel Mole in a recent video, which shows that the channel owner’s iPhone 14 Pro has encountered a screen freeze and does not respond to touch when the user touches it. What is confusing is that the phone still allows the user to open the interface and the notification page. However, the main screen is not interactive.

The only way to fix that is that the user has to restart the machine. In fact, the same error happened on iPhone 13 Pro when updating to iOS 15 last year.

Currently, Apple has not made any announcement on this matter. This is also not the first time iPhone users have encountered problems after a software update.

If you are using a genuine iPhone (VN/A), you can send the device to a service center for support. In contrast, in the case of using portable goods, users can refer to warranty support services in Singapore or Thailand at a cost of several million dong.

Martin Filipov of PhoneArena commented: It is normal for iPhones to have software errors because even Android phones are inevitable.

However, it is clear that things are more serious than usual. And it is worth mentioning that Apple is forcing users to bear mistakes made by genuine manufacturers, for example in the case of Akash.
