iPhone 16 Pro Well, out of nowhere, iPhone 16 Pro screen pixels “died?!?”

See pictures, i notice this today, never dropped, tempered glass since day 1.

Update: took a random screenshot and that black spot is NOT showing (hoping it was software)

You can find my thread, I had a bad pixel on my 16PM that would come and go. I had to take it to the Apple store 3 times before they saw it.
I think there are definitive issues in the display hardware this year.

You're sure it isn't some sort of debris that got wedged in there somehow?

When you see the phone sideways it’s clearly at the screen. You can see the tempered glass on top and down is the screen with the black dot.

Doesn't look like a dead pixel, it's probably way worse, reminds me of this

It might grow bigger, quite big over time, you'll need to replace this probably. On the other hand it's so tiny right now, if it won't grow you can just deal with it, not a big deal (currently xD).

Thanks for this, i can use it as "supporting evidence"

You can boot your iPhone into diagnostics mode and test the screen there to confirm if it's a hardware issue.
