iPhone 13 “Circles” underneath new iPhone 13 screen

[kerbero9]

Just upgraded to an iPhone 13 a few days ago and I’m sitting at work and the sunlight caught the screen just right and I can see 2 circles underneath the screen. They do not wipe away, it’s definitely under the screen. I did some research and found this thread which describes the exact issue I have - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252047899?answerId=254442742022&page=1

No official response from Apple in the thread. Lots of discussion about screen protectors but I don’t and never have used one.

Anyone else seeing this? You have to catch it at the right angle in direct light. I’m wondering if it should make a trip to the Apple Store. Seems like a manufacturing defect to me.

I have this problem, unfortunately, and I have no solution.

For how long? Did it not cause you any trouble or damage using your iPhone?

Just checked mine under a halogen light and can’t see those 2 circles… I would fix a appointment at the Apple Store and get it exchanged asap!

Just to update everyone - I made an appointment with Apple and they replaced the screen free of charge. Definitely a manufacturing defect.
