So recently I noticed there is a vertical green line on my iphone 13 mini.  This is on the right side of it.  Now normally I wipe my phone with clorox wipes whenever it is dirty and had no issue.

 

 

Previously I would use alcohol and tissue and put a tiny amount of alcohol to wipe the screen and everything.  I recently used alcohol on a paper towel on it.  Then a while later, that vertical green line appeared.  Now it isn't always

there.  When I close it but not power it off, sometimes the green light would go away.  Then a bit later it comes back on the screen.  What wipes do people use on their phones when they want to screen the screen and everything? I have one of those clear cases with it where it covers the side of the iphone and the back so the front is exposed as I am not a fan of those cases that cover the whole iphone.

 

 

Does anyone have any advice on what I can do here?  Is it possible a recent IOS update caused this?  I had this iphone 13 mini for almost 2 years or so and it worked fine during the whole time.  Now I never buy insurance.  But does this sound like alcohol got inside my iphone 13 mini that caused it?  What should I do now?  Should I power it off and power it on and maybe that would fix it?  I rarely power off my iphone ever as rarely do I turn it fully off.  Now what about putting it in white rice?  Would that help?  Now how much would it cost to fix this issue if I had to do that?  So far when that vertical green line is there, it doesn't really obstruct the screen as it is thin.

You've not got a lot to lose by re-booting it.

 

Is there an Apple Store that you could visit?

 

Alternatively:

 

It would probably be worth your while going into one of Apple's own Help Rooms and asking them. However just describe the problem, don't give them the rest of that spiel.

 

Just name the problem, its Model Number and its Serial Number and possibly its age, although the last shouldn't really be necessary.
