My iPhone 5c does this only more horizontally than vertically. I found that pressing in certain areas helps but only temporarily and the more you do it the less it works. Haven't dropped it. Been like this since I got it.
I got the same problem, i just hold the selfie camera like people in the comments and then kept doing it every hour or so and a day later it fixed itself
+Jack Phillips Thank you so much, Jack. We were going crazy till I saw your comment and I just held the selfie front facing camera, and all is good again. Did you hear from anybody official what this is? Will it return? Sounds very iffy / temporary solution.
+Tal Givoly mine comes back every now and then, it's usually if it's been in my trouser pocket and I've been walking, I put it in my jacket pocket now. I'm not going to look at fixing it as my contract is up soon and I'll be going back to Android, this has put me off Apple phones.
+Jack Phillips that sucks. Our phone is relatively new, so I'm thinking of going to the Apple store with it, but now that I "fixed it", the phenomenon is no longer visible.
Mine is doing this too! Taking it my carrier tomorrow to see if they can get me a new phone without it costing anything. I haven't dropped it or got it wet in the less than year I've had it. Frustrating.
same thing here. But t-mobile told me to fuck off since the year warranty expired and i didn't buy insurance (because i wasn't going to drop the thing like an idiot). Regardless, it's rendered useless as of right now. :/
My husbands phone started that today. The Verizon store said it "looked like he dropped it, too bad, can't do anything", and he didn't drop it, we've had out new phones for 11 days. I'm from Norway, and this kinda bad customer service would get you written up over there, but I guess the standards are different here in Texas....... He's going to the Apple store tomorrow, hope they can help him.
My iPhone 5s did this. The screen flickered so bad, you couldn't see anything. After this, it overheated, and it wouldn't turn on. (Which I still havent been able to turn on again.) I decided I was done with it, and switched to a Galaxy. However, I'm re-living this, trying to see if there is anyway to bring my old phone back to life.
NO DO NOT RUB ON YOUR SCREEN IN ALL DIRECTIONS, THAT WILL ONLY MAKE IT WORSE,you will eventually have to take it to get the screen and LCD connectors replaced, or if you want to risk it< there is a video that show you how to take your phone apart and make sure the LCD cables are connected properly< there is a chance it came undone when you dropped it or banged it or something..
I have something similar. Not as bad as yours, but getting there. I just made an appointment at the apple store for a repair. I hope they can repair it right because it's not doing it all the time. It seems to get better when I tap on the back of the phone.
***** Is yours flickering at the top and is it like white and then the touchscreen goes unresponsive? I have that problem and it seems to help when i tap the front or back of the phone were u able to get ur phone repaired?
+Tyler Watts, yes. I had to tap it too in order for it to let me use it. I was able to take it to the apple store and they replaced the screen for free. But as it turns out... The problem was not with the screen and I had to make a second trip the same week and they replaced the phone completely. (For free).
+natbolinger they replaced it because it was still between the one year factory warranty. Apple care plus only extends such warranty. If you purchased that phone less than a year ago, then go ahead and get it take it to the genius bar. They cannot and will not charge you anything.
I think you need to open it up and check if your lcd wire is clip in properly if it is unclip it then clip it back get for loose wires that or not clipped properly the wires are black
I work in a Apple Store and I highly recommend that you take it in and they will exchange it with a backup model for free before your apple care runs out.
uber2 pro go to a store and get the screen replaced 👌Or just push the screen in a bit or check to see if the cables holding your screen down are in all the way
mine has the same problem. but sometimes it turn good by itself and i dont have an idea why. now, i know one solution that work: i knock it to the wall or desk and magically Its really work. i think, from main circuit to display not well connected...and it should easy to repair.
my 6 does something very similar. it'll glitch out like this for a little bit and then go black, i have to hold down power button and home button for 5 seconds to bring it back on..... and even then sometimes it'll do it again. restarted it 5 times tonight just to get it back working.........
Akil Alghifari well done, you got me. I'm so dumb that when I didn't understand the problem I tried discussing it with people so I could learn. How stupid of me.
This just happened to my phone! I bought my iphone in the USA, where I am from, but I currently live in Madrid. I am now in Taiwan for vacation and I have no idea what to do!!! Does anyone have a solution??
ATTENTION! i had this problem and basically what i did was reset the phone and back it up to another version. sorry if i worded this wrong... well all we did was back up icloud and restore all of the memory and boom it boom as fixed! i hope this helped and if not just tell me to word it again 😂😂 ATTENTION
Press hard on camera area and eventually the colours will be brighter but the flickering might come back, press hard until flickering stops.. This is happening to me aswell, it's so annoying
I firmly tried pressing the camera area a few times and it returned back to a few minute then it started flickering again until it faded to black and the backlight only showed up ;-;
that happened to my phone after i dropped it on tiles. I then got the screen fixed and now its not that bad but it still flickers every now and again. anyone? i know this is an old post but
Lol this reply was a year ago and I just realized that my sentence is wrong. Anyway, to answer your question, press the front cam area hard but just be cautious.
mine does something very similar. Took it to the apple store and they just replaced the phone. Updated to the latest ios and now it does it again. Phones been in a otter box since I have gotten it and has never been dropped.

guys i have a question. at like near the end, the screen flickers amd theres nothing, does it look like a amintronic jumpscared you and after u will see the screen flicker?
Here is what is causing this. It happens on the 6/6S Plus as well. There is a chip on the opposite side of the logic board (the main circuit board on the iphone) called an IC. It controls the touch on the screen but also affects the screen display. Either due to manufacturing defect of people putting phone in their back pockets or dropping it or whatever, that IC chip's solder points come loose. As a result, the behaviour you see happens. The reason why pressing against the back of the phone near the camera lens (just below) works is because that is where the IC chip is. By pressing on the case, it is forcing contact again. This is only a temporary solution though. The way to fix the problem for good is resolder the IC chip back on the logic board. Others have made some sort of electrical tape fold and placed it above the IC chip and taped it down to keep consistent pressure and thereby contact. The biggest problem is removing the logic board to do all this. For those not familiar with electronics or taking apart a phone, it is fraught with risk. There are also many many microscopic screws of varying lengths and widths that you will need to track. Ultimately, each person will decide whether the risk and time spent is worth it to repair / temporarily fix a phone that is over 3+ years old.
Mine flickers like most of the time when i touch it but only top part of screen where top right corner the front of it is taken off a bit and this aluminum peice of paper is exposed? Maybe this is the reason what should I do? And can they repair my phone if part of the pieces came off? Because I got tons
To the video uploader, is ur problem solve? If it has been solved then how did u do that I m asking it because I m also facing the same problem. I m not able to use it since months i went to the service centre but they told that thats a hardware issue and u need to replace the phone please guide me how to get over this problem
Mine was doing that but only when you press hard on the screen took it to Apple they saw it and I got a new one for free cuz I was still I day left of the 1 year insurance they give you
My phone doesn’t flicker but there’s lines on my phone and I want to fix it
Superb remedy, I faced same issue in iphone 6 and I tried. Now its working. Thanks a lot.
What is the solution plz tell
My iPhone 5c does this only more horizontally than vertically. I found that pressing in certain areas helps but only temporarily and the more you do it the less it works. Haven't dropped it. Been like this since I got it.
you can see your screen a little bit, I cant see nothing
DanSync same
Same
Same
Pushing the screen really works.Thank you.
My 6 is doing the same shit, it's probably because apple using junk Chinese parts for cheap so they can make more profit.
My iPhone 6 screen is not clear
My screen is fuzzy
8
Some makers use expensive parts some use shitty cheap parts
I bought two iphone 6 and one has a louder speaker than. the other
I was online and this just Started happening to me ! I cannot even turn off Phone , what is the cause + solution guys?
I got the same problem, i just hold the selfie camera like people in the comments and then kept doing it every hour or so and a day later it fixed itself
Mine does this, I have to hold it firm at the top by the selfie camera and it stops. I hVe no idea why, I've not dropped it or anything.
+Jack Phillips Thank you so much, Jack. We were going crazy till I saw your comment and I just held the selfie front facing camera, and all is good again. Did you hear from anybody official what this is? Will it return? Sounds very iffy / temporary solution.

+Jack Phillips that sucks. Our phone is relatively new, so I'm thinking of going to the Apple store with it, but now that I "fixed it", the phenomenon is no longer visible.
This is bizarre. Just replaced the wifes phone and then read this.... Doh... Viola. Did this continue to go and come back?
Totally agree with you, just push at the top around the front camera.
I have been doing so for a couple of months lol
Mine is doing this too! Taking it my carrier tomorrow to see if they can get me a new phone without it costing anything. I haven't dropped it or got it wet in the less than year I've had it. Frustrating.
Hey Bethany James,
I have returned the phone to Chunghwa Telecom and they have get me a new one without any costing. I hope you can also be lucky~
Do you think they will give you a new one if its cracked
+izabelle kane no
same thing here. But t-mobile told me to fuck off since the year warranty expired and i didn't buy insurance (because i wasn't going to drop the thing like an idiot). Regardless, it's rendered useless as of right now. :/
Kamil Sliwinski t mobile is a dick
Does replacing screen fix the problem

I'm from Norway, and this kinda bad customer service would get you written up over there, but I guess the standards are different here in Texas....... He's going to the Apple store tomorrow, hope they can help him.
take it to the apple store they will fix it for couple lf money
What happened ?
to fix it just hit it a few times. Or push real hard under the camera and flashlight area
thats so crazy! that fixed it for me! how did that fix it??
Alyse Kingston i heard that it's something near that area that controls this from happening!!
get you a me well I'm glad I found your comment on this video! Thank you!
thank youuuuuu. i treied everything and this finially worked!! xx
Alexandra Phillips how to fix it
This is exactly why I didn't want an iPhone 6, but that's all they had and I needed a new phone
OMG it works thank you so much you have fix my phone
My iPhone 5s did this. The screen flickered so bad, you couldn't see anything. After this, it overheated, and it wouldn't turn on. (Which I still havent been able to turn on again.)

Well pressing on my screen worked for me, so it didn't make it worse. Therefore, it will not "ONLY" make it worse
Just open the phone and reconnect the cables and thats it you have a loose cable that connects the touchscreen from the motherboard.
Nash Terry how did you do that? Can you maybe do a video on that? Want to reconnect them myself but don't know how -.-
I have something similar. Not as bad as yours, but getting there. I just made an appointment at the apple store for a repair. I hope they can repair it right because it's not doing it all the time. It seems to get better when I tap on the back of the phone.
***** Is yours flickering at the top and is it like white and then the touchscreen goes unresponsive? I have that problem and it seems to help when i tap the front or back of the phone were u able to get ur phone repaired?
Tyler Watts Exact same problem with me dude.
AznFrieRice Same here! Were you able to find anything on this?
+Tyler Watts, yes. I had to tap it too in order for it to let me use it. I was able to take it to the apple store and they replaced the screen for free. But as it turns out... The problem was not with the screen and I had to make a second trip the same week and they replaced the phone completely. (For free).
***** Did they replace it because you had Apple Care or was part of the original phone warranty? My son's phone is having this exact issue.
+natbolinger they replaced it because it was still between the one year factory warranty. Apple care plus only extends such warranty. If you purchased that phone less than a year ago, then go ahead and get it take it to the genius bar. They cannot and will not charge you anything.
Overheating when left on charge over night, motherboard issue not screen issue.
Pierre Sutton i think that’s my problem too i always leave it on overnight. I’ll stop doing so thank s
Thanks for the solution guys!! you are my life saviours!!!. Solution: Hold it from the selfie camera.
I think you need to open it up and check if your lcd wire is clip in properly if it is unclip it then clip it back get for loose wires that or not clipped properly the wires are black
My phone is glitching with black spot and line
Same issue bought second hand iPhone 6s use only 1 weeks.
I work in a Apple Store and I highly recommend that you take it in and they will exchange it with a backup model for free before your apple care runs out.
But why should an issue like this even require Apple Care? This should be part of the product warranty.
DAB Technology my husband's iPhone has same problem but I don't know what should I do please send to me how we can fix it?
uber2 pro go to a store and get the screen replaced 👌Or just push the screen in a bit or check to see if the cables holding your screen down are in all the way
Mine wont turn on
You need to push the screen in all directions
i did that and it worked but like can you explain why it worked
the cable between screen and motherboard is corrupted. finally you will force to change the screen
Hi have a similar problem can yuo help me plis comunicate with me by perosonal message
IT WORKED!! TNX
Thank you so much, this worked!
2018 , and my iPhone 8 had the same problem , except after it flickers for a while the screen goes completely white and then it just goes black
My iPad is was flickering like you're iPhone it started to become white slowly and now it's completely white
Just hold the place where the camera faces you hold it down really hard
Salama Abuzour how like where the camera is or under it on the screen
Mine does something kinda similar except the colors are different and it flickers from the normal screen to that. Has anyone else had this problem?
Lea B ME

Akil Alghifari well done, you got me. I'm so dumb that when I didn't understand the problem I tried discussing it with people so I could learn. How stupid of me.
Angel Todd Of course this doesn’t show up in screenshots. It obviously is a hardware issue.
Yes how stupid of you, you couldn't figure it was a screen problem?
This just happened to my phone! I bought my iphone in the USA, where I am from, but I currently live in Madrid. I am now in Taiwan for vacation and I have no idea what to do!!!

Thanks buddy. Fixed my issue.
My iPhone is doing that and í honestly don't know what to do
Mine does the same thing. Do you know why it happens?
My phone is doing this right now and I don't know how to solve the problem
Easy fix. Tape it to a note 7 and throw it like a hand grenade.
I tried it. I accidentally hit a man
Who would want try a fixing method as stupid as that. It`ll just make the problem worst
mine doing the same but im also not sure if its charging its just doing some weird vibrate and it cant connect to itunes.
R.I.P
Mine flickers like most of the time when i touch it but only top part of screen where top right corner the front of it is taken off a bit and this aluminum peice of paper is exposed? Maybe this is the reason what should I do? And can they repair my phone if part of the pieces came off? Because I got tons
Sumuru -Kun that’s exactly like my phone the top corner is exposed a bit
my current iphone does the same thing except it crashes on and off and gets stuck and glitches on the apple logo and now it wont even turn on
