Hi all,

My iPhone 7 which I've had for over 3 years now developed some banding on the screen. I didn't drop it or bang it, it has a very chunky case on it. I put it on charge at night, woke up and it was like this.

I've made a little video, it's not great but you can see it, and no it's not a defect of recording a screen that is how it looks. It seems like a row of pixels is active but then alternating rows of pixels are just black pixels.

Is this something people have come across before? Is it fixable without replacing the screen?

Thanks.
