How To Fix IPhone White Screen Of Death

In this article, we are going to talk about the iPhone white screen of death. There are many problems that are considered as common, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth issues, but we can’t say the same for the white screen of death. This problem usually appears during the software update on jailbroken devices (if the update fails for some reason). However, “white screen of death” may show up for no apparent reason, and it often appears when the battery level falls below 30 %. A software bug or a hardware issue can also be the causes of this annoying problem. You won’t see your Home screen or your apps. In other words, you won’t be able to use your device normally until the white screen goes away. The issue may disappear after a couple of seconds or after a restart, but if that does not happen, there are a couple of things you can try before contacting Apple.
