Common Dead Pixel Locations on iPhone 17 Pro
Community reports most frequently mention dead pixels appearing near the Dynamic Island cutout and along screen edges where the display curves meet the titanium frame. Corner impacts are the most common cause of non-manufacturing-defect dead pixels.

Apple's 1-year limited warranty covers manufacturing defect dead pixels. A single dead pixel is typically sufficient for a Genius Bar replacement — there is no minimum pixel threshold. AppleCare+ extends coverage to 2 years and covers accidental screen damage for a $29 service fee.
