If your iPhone 13 suddenly turns yellow with horizontal lines and becomes frozen, don't panic. This issue is commonly known as the "Yellow Screen of Death." It usually happens after a recent iOS update due to a software malfunction, though in some cases it can be a hardware issue.
Below are the best solutions to fix this problem.
Why Does the iPhone 13 Screen Turn Yellow?
The yellow screen problem can happen because of:
- Software glitches
- Outdated iOS version
- Malware attack
- Incorrect display settings
- Hardware damage
Step 1: Restart Your iPhone
A simple restart can fix temporary glitches.
- Press and hold the Volume Down + Side Button together.
- When the power slider appears, swipe it to turn off.
- Wait a few seconds.
- Press and hold the Side Button to turn it back on.
If the issue was temporary, your screen should return to normal.
Step 2: Force Restart
If your phone is frozen:
- Press and quickly release Volume Up.
- Press and quickly release Volume Down.
- Press and hold the Side Button until the Apple logo appears.
This will not delete your data.
Step 3: Check Display Settings
If your phone is working but the screen looks yellow:
- Turn off Night Shift
- Turn on True Tone
- Go to Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Turn off Color Filters
Sometimes incorrect display settings cause a yellow tint.
Step 4: Use Recovery Mode
If nothing works, connect your phone to a PC or Mac and use iTunes or Finder.
- Choose Update first (no data loss).
- If the update fails, choose Restore (this deletes all data).
Make sure you have a backup before restoring your device.
Step 5: Contact Apple Support
If the issue is caused by hardware damage (water damage, physical impact, or a cracked screen), contact an authorized Apple service center of Apple Inc. for professional repair.
