iPhone Dead Pixels — Key Facts
- All iPhones since the X (2017) use OLED — true dead pixels are less common than on LCD but do occur after impact.
- Apple covers manufacturing defect dead pixels under the 1-year limited warranty — even a single pixel.
- AppleCare+ adds accidental damage coverage (screen damage deductible applies).
- Always test in a dark room with True Tone and Night Shift turned off.
