iPhone SE Gen 1 orangey yellow spots (alien.top)

I have had my iPhone SE Gen 1 since 2020. I had no issues with the screen until yesterday when I picked it up and there was a faint yellow spot. I didn't drop it or anything. Then hours later, another spot popped up! I'm really scared that I'll have to get a new phone. If I tap on the spots the phone still responds. I looked it up and it said you'll have to get it replaced but honestly I can't afford to get another phone right now. Is this something to worry about or will I be okay? Like I said before, if I tap on the areas they respond fine, it's just colored.

it will be fine but, expect the yellow spots to grow wider over time. i had mine replaced the lcd screen myself. idk if apple stores still service the ogse.

If you can’t afford to get a new phone, can you maybe afford to get your phone fixed at least? Also, if your OGSE is a 64gb or a 128gb, it’s definitely very worth it to get it fixed.

You could get a gen 2 for around $100
