Bad news for owners of IPhone. According to the dozens of reports arrived in the last few hours, the melafonini from all over the world would be affected by a bug that could have unpleasant consequences. The alleged mistake has already been renamed “The black point of death” And the name does not announce anything good. Here’s what it is and how to solve this small problem.
From a purely technical point of view it is a small fixed circle that appears on the screen, most of the time just below the Dynamic Island. The problem is easy to say: the stain is visible to the naked eye but the software, on the contrary, cannot identify and recognize it. The real knot of the matter is that in digital there is no way to capture this black point of death. There are those who hypothesize it is a hardware problem, considering that in the software it does not appear even once. The bug It has been found exclusively on the iPhone 15 and 16. Not surprisingly, these are the two line-ups that use OLED technology, known both for its sharpness and chromatic yield and for its vulnerability to defects such as dead zones and pixels burned.
Usually the black point is located under Dynamic Island, but there are also those who appeared in the upper right corner or at the bottom of the display. And not only that, because it also happens that the stain is enlarged with the passing of the hours. Solving this problem could be as easy as it is potentially complicated.
On the one hand, Apple has not yet given official advice on the merits, but in these cases some ritual steps may be decisive. A tip is to restart the phone, clean the display, disconnect the connected USB-C accessories and remove any films. If the problem persists it will be necessary to go to an official Apple Store.
