I was just scrolling through my apps when the screen suddenly froze. A force shutdown didn't work and when I pressed the silent on/off button, there was no vibration either.

The frozen screen faded to white with a few lines and about 10 minutes later, the edges started to turn black, forming a ring which got larger till about 4 hours later, the screen turned completely black.

I tried connecting to iTunes but it wasn't detecting the phone and I can't do anything with it now...

When it turned completely black, I charged it and after a while, the low batt screen came on but it was fuzzy and flickering with the white ring...

Is it a hardware problem or something? Should I send it for repair or just get a new one?
