Why do blurry circles appear on the iPhone screen?

As for the blurry circle on the iPhone screen, there are many causes. There are simple cases but there are also complex cases. The following are specific situations and corresponding solutions when the screen has blurred circles.

The blurred circle is the virtual Home button on the iPhone

For those of you who are new to using the 'Apple' operating system, you probably don't understand the virtual Home button clearly, so you're worried about a blurry screen appearing on the iPhone screen. This virtual Home button will help users limit the use of hard buttons. At the same time, you can access features and applications on iPhone more easily. Below is an illustration of the virtual Home button.

You don't need to worry about this situation, because this is just a feature of 'Apple's defect'. In case iFan does not like to use it, you can turn off the virtual Home button by: Accessing Settings > Clicking on General Settings > Accessibility > Turning off Assistive Touch (as shown in the image, it is on) .

The circle is blurred due to the tempered glass of the iPhone

Some users have reported that a circle appears on their iPhone screen as shown in the illustration. Use a towel to wipe it off, but after a while it shows up again. Another user shared that they also had the same problem, but when they removed the tempered glass, it went away. So maybe in this case the reason is because the tempered glass has been used for a long time so there are signs of 'age' and blurred circles appear. This situation is also an error but is still milder. Therefore, you just need to replace the new tempered glass for your iPhone.

iPhone screen is blurred

Do not rule out the possibility that your iPhone screen has a ghosting error. This condition is also known as burn-in, screen ghosting, and image retention. Specifically, this is the phenomenon of ghosts appearing on static images.

There are many causes of this situation such as leaving the screen at too high a brightness for a long time. Do not change the desktop or theme frequently. Or the device has been dropped, hit hard, crushed, exposed to water, exposed to toxic chemicals, etc., causing the screen or other components of the device to be damaged.

In this case, the best solution is to bring the iPhone to a reputable warranty/repair center. The technician will check and help you 'diagnose' the device's screen. Then, come up with the most optimal solution for your iPhone.
