Curious iPhone screen glitch

My iPhone 14 Pro is showing a curious screen glitch -- a small semicircle of black pixels that looks like a bite taken out of the upper right hand corner of every screen. This is oddly specific, and I'm wondering if it's a clue to a specific kind of failure. Can anyone suggest a theory? I'm also seeing the screen intermittently flicker or go black, so perhaps it will have to be replaced, but before I take that step, I'd like to understand what's going on here.



iOS 27.2

The phone hasn't been exposed to water or suffered any physical damage.

As this is a user to user only forum, we can't diagnose a screen issue from our sofas. Try a Force Restart --> https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/force-restart-iphone-iph8903c3ee6/ios


If this doesn't help, your next step is to schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service provider to have the phone tested and service options/costs --> https://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
