Fix iPhone 13 Pink Screen Issue
Not everyone is lucky to get a replacement; users facing the issue are unhappy with the Apple support service. When the reports started to increase, Apple released a statement on the Chinese social media platform Weibo that says, “We didn’t notice relevant problems in the devices’ hardware because this situation [pink screen] is caused when the system is locked.” They have advised users to take backup of their device and update to the latest version of iOS. In the meantime, if you are facing a pink screen issue on your iPhone, you can try the following fixes.
1. Restart Your iPhone
The easiest fix to remove the pink screen issue is to restart your iPhone. Many users facing the issue have mentioned that restarting the iPhone fixes the issue temporarily. The only problem with the fix is that the issue gets resolved for a few days and returns.
2. Check for Software Updates
Apple released the iPhone 13 series running on iOS 15. Since then, the company has released a few software updates to address many issues. Although the pink screen issue was first discovered in October, Apple has not added a fix in these updates. Even the upcoming iOS 15.3 RCS doesn’t even mention anything about the pink screen bug fix. But if you face the pink screen issue and haven’t updated to the latest iOS version, it is worth checking for software updates. As mentioned above, Apple recommends updating their devices to the newest software. It will rule out any possibility of app compatibility issues between an app and iOS.
3. Uninstall Third-Party Apps
iPhone 13 Pink screen bug is a software issue rather than a hardware one. The problem could be because of an incompatible app on your iPhone. Typically, Apple built-in apps work fine with the iOS version. It is primarily the third party that causes the most error. If you face the issue, try uninstalling third-party apps to check if it helps you.
4. Reset Settings
While going through all the replies in the Apple Discussion forum, I found a response from a user saying he was facing the pink screen issue, and it got fixed when he reset the settings. Reboot your iPhone 13 to get back to the standard screen and reset settings.
5. Contact Apple Support
Suppose you tried all the above possible fixes but still facing the issue. The very last option is to contact Apple Support. They will run an online diagnostic test to find the problems on your iPhone. Usually, a diagnostic test doesn’t see an issue on the device. The support executive will book an appointment at the nearest Apple service center. Take your iPhone to the service store, and the service engineers will look at your device. If they didn’t fix the issue, you would get a replacement.
Final Words
Apple’s pink screen issue has affected a small set of users. Only a few users have reported it in the various discussion forums. Now Apple has admitted the problem, hoping it will be a software bug. After the broad coverage of the issue, Apple will take it seriously and release an update very soon. As of now, the only fixes you can try are listed above. Go ahead try any one of the above fixes to see if it helps you or not. If you face a pink screen issue, do let us know in the comments.
