It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time Apple has had screen issues. The iPhone 12 series once caused widespread concern due to the "green screen door", which was eventually partially alleviated through software updates. However, the iPhone 7 situation may have more to do with aging hardware.
An analysis by technology blogger @digitalista pointed out: "The iPhone 7 series has entered a period of high incidence of failures. In addition to the green screen, problems such as battery swelling and home button failure also occur frequently. Users need to be mentally prepared. This type of device is likely to suffer from various aging symptoms one after another."
If you also encounter the iPhone 7 green screen problem, it is recommended to first record the specific circumstances and frequency of the problem, which will help repair personnel quickly diagnose the cause of the problem. At the same time, you can use the Apple Support App to make an appointment at the nearest Genius Bar for testing.
